Camp in Style with FIM Caravans’ Migrator Off-Road Travel Trailer

Camping is, of course, awesome. Winter camping, however, can be a challenge, especially if you’re “lucky” enough to live in the northern United States where the cold weather can last 342 days of the year. If you’re looking to take a little of the rough out of “roughing it,” Romania-based FIM Caravans’ new Migrator travel trailer might be just what you need.

Travel trailers tend to fall into one of two categories. Pared-down, ultra-light models are often cheap but leave out some seriously essential amenities. More robust models boast a wealth of options, but many feel unnecessary like the hidden “party deck” of the Romotow or the retractable sunroof in the Lume Traveler No. 1. Though amazing, these all guarantee a sticker price well into the five — or even six — figures. The Migrator is a teardrop-ish trailer that hits the practical sweet spot somewhere in the middle. As FIM Caravans’ only trailer model, it’s designed to be customized to the exact specifications of every buyer.

For campers who want only the essentials, the Migrator Basic provides everything you need and nothing you don’t. The water-tight “bedroom” is accessible through side and rear access doors and sleeps two comfortably on a modular polyurethane mattress. The included 100-amp battery features an integrated recharger, plus twin USB charging sockets and a 220V outlet to power just about anything. Ample LED lighting illuminates every square inch of the Migrator inside and out. It’s all mounted to a featherweight fiberglass shell riding on a durable, off-road-capable frame.

Travelers seeking a more gentlemanly, well-appointed wilderness experience can splurge on the Migrator Off-Road 80 or Migrator Off-Road 100. These upgraded models include all of the above plus plenty of additional features so you can get far off-grid any time of year. Around back is a 16V refrigerator plus a full kitchen setup for cooking just about anywhere. The 40-liter freshwater tank connects to a 12-liter water pump and a shower tap so you can wash dishes and yourself on the go. A Webasto AirTop 2000 STC 12V RV heater rounds out the feature set to make this a true, four-season travel trailer.

FIM Caravans’ entry-level Migrator Basic starts at €12,499 (approximately USD $14,300), while the upgraded Migrator Off-road editions start at €16,000 (USD $18,300). Just remember you’ll need to budget in delivery cost from Europe.

This Rugged, Off-Road Tow-Behind Trailer Transforms at the Push of a Button
Offline Campers Domino Off-Road Travel Trailer

For overlanders and hardcore backcountry enthusiasts, it’s quite a time to be alive. We’re living in a golden age for high-tech off-road vehicle add-ons and RVs built to go just about anywhere. For those looking to explore the farthest reaches of the earth, there’s a vehicle kit or a camper to help you get there. Offline Campers’ flagship tow-behind is one such rig -- a hybrid off-road travel trailer with a clever trick up its sleeve.

From the outside, the Australian RV maker’s Domino camper appears like most rugged, off-road-ready tow-behinds. For the most part, that’s what it is. What sets it apart, however, is the fully automated transition from “travel mode” to “camp mode” at the push of a button. On the go, in travel mode, campers can access the sleeping quarters and internal storage through a door at the rear. It’s ideal for quick overnighters and shorter stays. When it’s time to hunker down in the backcountry, an electric toggle transforms the Domino, providing an extra two meters of interior floor space. Avid car campers and RVers will appreciate the difference that more than six additional feet of living space mean.

The Luxurious Bowlus Terra Firma Is Unlike Any Travel Trailer You’ve Ever Seen
Bowlus Terra Firma Luxury Travel Trailer

The pandemic has had us all a bit stir crazy for the last year. So, it’s no surprise that 2020 fast became the “Year of the New Great American Road Trip,” and 2021 shows no sign of slowing down. Camping, road-tripping, and even RV’ing are more popular now than at almost any other time in history. If you’ve been considering the mobile nomad lifestyle and even a swanky Airstream isn’t disco enough for you, Bowlus has something to show you.

At first blush, the Bowlus Terra Firma is a showstopper. The bold design combines the aerodynamics of a vintage fighter plane, the taut riveted aluminum construction of an Airstream, and the overall aesthetic of, well, it’s hard to say. There are clear elements from the worlds of luxury boatbuilding and Jet Age-inspired spacecraft. It’s somehow all of these things and none of them -- clearly modern, but with firm roots in early- to mid-20th-century transportation design. It’s enough to turn the heads of even the most hardened Airstream owners.
