One of the latest releases from Offline Campers, the Ryder LT absolutely screams "Best. Weekend. Ever!" The lightweight trailer is tough enough to tow anywhere, carrying along a single side-x-side or up to 4 dirt bikes and some base camp essentials.

Tekton introduces a different style of camping canopy, leaving aluminum behind and applying the composite expertise it honed on small trailers. Its monocoque CX then builds into a proper Outback survival tool via an ecosystem of optional add-ons.

Berg shook up the camper scene when it introduced the CX6, a neat squaredrop that expands out in every direction to create a huge base camp for 6 people. Now it's packaged that same shell into a 3-/4-person camper sized perfectly for a family.

The first camper kit developed specifically for Kia's PV5 van hit the market a couple weeks ago, and now we have the world's first pop-up PV5 production camper. Sussex's pop-top PV5 promises to open up new heights of Kia electric base camping.

The all-new 2026 Goldfields Escape Pod camper brings together a virtually indestructible off-road build with a fully loaded living space that multiplies its footprint upon parking, mellowing hot, unwelcoming terrain into comfortable base camp.

Mercedes announced it's bringing production of its Marco Polo camper van in-house, cutting out Westfalia. But Westfalia actually builds a better Mercedes small camper. The Jules Verne has a multi-room layout with the bathroom the Marco Polo lacks.

Volkswagen is giving UK conversion companies a shortcut for creating new campers. Its Multivan Camper comes with a pop-up roof, an available plug-in hybrid, a cockpit, a few other basics and a whole lot of nothing else.

The most egg-shaped of all the egg campers, the Barefoot Caravan has been wowing RVers with its shapely fiberglass for over a decade. Prices have risen quickly during that time, but now Barefoot offers the Bothy as a lighter, cheaper entry model.

Mercedes has been working with Westfalia on its Marco Polo mini-camper van since the 1980s. But now it's leaving Westfalia behind and pulling Marco Polo production entirely in-house. The new 2026 Marco Polo is truly the Mercedes of RV life.

One of the more out-there concepts from CMT 2026, the Wingcube is a unique style of trailerable camping pod. It folds up into a slim cube that tows comfortably on narrow roads, then more than triples its packed size into an indoor/outdoor base camp.

Kia has introduced an officially branded camper package for the tiny PV5 electric van. Interestingly, the flat-pack IKEA-like assemble-yourself mini-camper kit was developed in the USA, which has not yet been confirmed as a PV5 market.

One of the smoothest hunks of sleep-in fiberglass you'll see this year, the Awaken Morningstar looks to "wake up" an age of higher quality US Midwest-built campers. The trailer's robust dual-hulled build aims to eliminate rotting and leaking.
