Another week, another new camper van model to seduce you into trading all your earthly belongings for a free-wheelin’ life on the open road. There are so many new van life-worthy camper vans on the market these days that it’s damn hard to tell them apart. But the all-new Noovo Plus has one trick up its sleeve—er, roof—that truly sets it apart.

The Noovo Plus joins two other camper vans—the Noovo Lite and Noovo Pop—as the flagship model in Noovo’s lineup. What sets it apart from its more affordable brethren is its ultra-high roof profile. Built on the Super High Roof Platform, the Plus is purpose-built to offer a full seven feet of headroom. This provides for a more open and comfy interior (especially for taller travelers) and, more importantly, makes room for an electric lift bed mounted above the rear living quarters. At night, the queen bed lowers from the ceiling at the press of a button; by day, it rises out of the way just as easily. Along with the convertible sofa bed underneath, this camper van can sleep and transport four adults comfortably.

High roofline and fancy bed setup aside, the Noovo Plus boasts a swanky, Euro-inspired design that feels like a miniature Parisian apartment. The aesthetic leans heavily on pale wood and curved lines and corners throughout the cabin, lending to a high-end “boho chic” look and feel. It’s a clear step above the thousands of “me-too” DIY campers found in the van life social media sphere today. Mood lighting, tastefully integrated tech features, and premium finishes all add to the upscale vibe.

The utility system was built from the ground up to be off-grid-ready. A 660Ah lithium battery bank (expandable up to a whopping 1320Ah) pairs with a 400-watt solar panel array for virtually unlimited power anytime, anywhere. It’s capable of running the coach’s 12V refrigerator, induction cooktop, onboard water heater, and all of its power ports to keep your favorite gadgets topped up. The water system pairs a 40-gallon freshwater tank with a 40-gallon grey water holding tank. The combination allows for days of potable water, cooking, dishwashing, and even showering in the full indoor bathroom. Plus, a full climate control setup complete with air conditioning and heat makes the Noovo Plus a true year-round camper van.

The Noovo Plus camper van starts at $178,000, but ticking all of the available option boxes (and, believe us, you’ll want to) pushes the all-in price significantly higher. The company expects its first deliveries in Q3 of 2024 with a very limited production run. That leaves you plenty of time to sell off most of your belongings and trade in your studio apartment for the van life you’ve been daydreaming about for the last five years.

Isuzu Basecamp is an ultra-rugged truck camper that’s ready for anything
The already legendary Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 gets a serious upgrade for trail-hungry overlanders.

Iceland's Arctic Trucks has partnered for years with Isuzu UK to trick out the brand's best and baddest off-road rigs.  But its latest work, codenamed Basecamp, takes the partnership to a whole new level.

Every Basecamp truck is born from the legendary Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 — a rig that the brand describes as its "most capable pickup ever. 25 years in the making." It's an ultra-rugged, go-anywhere truck that's purpose-built for the world's toughest environments. But Arctic Trucks saw fit to do better.

Lutz Minicamper is a stealthy, full-featured micro travel trailer in disguise
With a kitchen, convertible sofa bed, and shore power connection, it's like a biggie-sized teardrop trailer.

The problem with full-time vanlifing and RV'ing is that sometimes it can be hard, if not impossible, to blend in for the purposes of stealth camping in, say, a residential neighborhood or Walmart parking lot. Enter Lutz's Minicamper: A full-featured travel trailer in disguise.

On the outside, the Minicamper looks like most ordinary utility trailers, and that's because technically, it is. Save for the subtle branded decals and side window, it's almost impossible to tell that the inside hides an entire RV's worth of comfort and conveniences. Opening the large hinged rear hatch reveals an airy, cozy cabin lined with soft felt and blonde wood fixtures. The 35-square-foot living quarters are tight, but entirely livable, thanks to Lutz's clever use of folding furniture that ensures no space is wasted. By adding a large picture window to the sidewall and a roof ventilation fan, it feels infinitely more comfy than a typical cargo trailer.

Arkto’s C10 micro-camper trailer is trail-ready with all the comforts of home
With ample tech and amenities packed into a pop-top design that's ready for your backcountry adventures

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.
