Overlanding today is often about doing more with less. For travel trailer owners, that means packing more features and creature comforts into ever-shrinking towables — towables like the all-new Arkto C10 camper trailer.

For the Canadian maker’s first micro-camper, it started with its wildly popular G12 overland camper, then figured out how to pack most of the same features in a much smaller footprint. Indeed, the composite-built C10 is two feet shorter in length and more than a foot narrower, making it surprisingly nimble on tight backcountry trails. At 2,750 pounds dry (900 pounds lighter than the flagship G12), it’s designed to tow safely and easily with something like a Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, or other mid-sized SUV.

Inside, the C10 offers a surprisingly generous 6’11” ceiling with a 2+1 sleeping configuration and generous storage throughout. The slide-out kitchen design borrows heavily from the G12, with a dual-burner cooktop, a hot-/cold-water sink, a 113-liter bar-style fridge/freezer, and a 10-cubic-foot pantry. USB and standard 110-volt outlets throughout allow you to top up your favorite mobile gadgets in the backcountry.

Like its big brother, the C10 is purpose-built for off-road exploration. That means more rugged features than most lightweight travel trailers. Think 31-inch all-terrain tires and a Timbren independent, axle-less HD suspension with a four-inch, trail-ready lift. The power system, too, is designed for owners to venture far off-grid with up to 600 watts of solar and an available 640aH battery capacity.

The new C10 camper trailer is available for pre-order starting at $64,000 CAD (roughly USD $45,600 at the time of this writing). Arkto Campers expects to deliver the first models sometime in July 2025.

Zion Off-Road’s 2025 Z2 is an all-in-one gear trailer and off-road micro camper
It's a versatile gear/cargo hauler during the week and a go-anywhere micro camper on the weekends

Teardrop campers are almost always the best trailer-based option for minimalist campers. But in the last few years, a new breed of stripped-down micro towables has hit — towables, like the 2025 Zion Off-Road Z2 modular utility trailer.

The Z2 ditches the bloated, feature-packed design of many of today's premium (and pricey) gear haulers/micro campers in favor of versatility and customizability. It's a completely modular platform that starts as little more than a cargo-hauling trailer that resembles those most landscapers might use. But the secret sauce of the Zion Off-Road Z2 micro camper trailer is its arsenal of bolt-on accessories that transform the Z2 from an "ordinary" gear/cargo hauler to a legit micro camper on the fly.

A BFX compact trailer expanded and parked in a grassy field.

Everything you need, nothing you don't. That's a solid mantra for pretty much everything in life, from cars to cooking to camping. So, too, with Built for Extreme's (BFX) all-new, off-road-centric micro-trailer.

The BFX was designed first and foremost with hunters and hardcore outdoors people in mind, those looking to bring all their essential cooking, camping, clothing, navigation, and tech systems into the backcountry in the most compact way possible. The 14.5-foot towable trades traditional aluminum for an American-made steel body that rides on a powder-coated steel chassis for the ultimate in durability. A heavy-duty suspension paired with shocks and airbags helps cushion the blow while you're off-roading, and 26 inches of ground clearance ensures you can get far, far off the beaten path.

Live, work, sleep, play — this compact Transit van is one of the smartest camper van builds we've ever seen.

Ford's Transit van has been a favorite for van-life customizers for years and with good reason. The largest model is like a perfect blank slate: Roomy enough to pack everything you need for life on the road, yet versatile enough to customize every last cubic inch. And that's exactly what Milwaukee's Orion Motors has done with its flagship Orion 365 camper van.

At its core, the Orion 365 is "the only camper van on the market that can drive 5+, sleep 5, and still have the space of a cargo van." That's according to Orion Motors, and it's a distinction that clearly separates its flagship build from every other on the market. Every custom Orion 365 begins life as a high-roof, 264-inch Ford Transit Extended Length van — one of the roomiest of its kind, making it a perfect canvas for building out a seriously capable van-life rig.
