Cube Series RVs are quickly making a name for themselves in the off-road camping industry.
The Oregon-based camper manufacturer was founded in 2020 and brought together
over 40 years of automotive and camping experience
to create modern mid-size camping solutions for the American frontier.
Towable on any mid-size truck,
the Cube Series Trailer measures 19 and a half feet from trailer hitch to end,
90 and a half inches wide, and stands 48.25 inches tall when in the trailer configuration.
The Cube Series Trailer is built from industry-grade aluminum, lightweight composites,
and a range of alloys to reduce weight while improving strength and durability.
In fact, without additional gear, the entire trailer weighs under 1600 pounds.
The 26″ X 84″ roof racks can be used for mounting equipment,
and they’re even weight-bearing when the camper is expanded.
At your destination, one push of a button activates the electric-powered roof,
lifting up while additional wall panels fold into place.
Once fully expanded, the Cube Series Trailer now affords more than 7 feet
of headroom and a fully equipped luxury camper that is ready to go.
Inside you’ll find a full-size Queen bed and a 44-inch, four-seater dinette
which can be converted into another bed for one adult or two children.
There’s a small kitchen block in the front corner with a two-burner gas stove,
Corian countertops, sink, and a built-in microwave.
There’s an enclosed wet bathroom with an electric flushing toilet
and an optional shower combo in the other corner when nature calls.
It’s connected to a 30-gallon freshwater tank and a 19-gallon black water tank for wastewater.
These can be replenished with the onboard Shurflo Fresh Electric Water Pump.
There’s also an external shower attachment if the
thought of showering right next to the toilet is a little off-putting.
Also on board are a built-in fridge/freezer combo,
aluminum cabinets, and plenty of cupboards for gear storage.
If temperatures start to dip below comfortable,
an onboard 18000 BTU Gas Furnace fueled by the 7.5 Gallon LP tank will warm things up.
Power comes courtesy of an AGM 12 Volt Deep Cycle Battery.
Cube Series has included a whole range of methods to recharge.
An integrated 55Amp inverter/charger is complete with 30Amp Shore Power cables,
solar plug ’n’ play connections, generator inputs, and additional, optional solar panels.
This powers the four 110V power outlets,
water heater, patio, ceiling lighting, USB ports, and various camper appliances.
Sold out of the Cube Series showroom in Bend, Oregon, prices for this trailer begin at $46,262
and head north based on your customizations.
When you’re camping, do you like to adventure in style?

Stick around for our honorable mentions, right after this.
With over one hundred years of history under its belt,
the RV Camper has seen a lot of changes over the years while staying true to its foundation.
The human tendency to explore and discover has rallied a whole new hobby in and of itself.
One that has seen many spikes in popularity and is currently seeing another one right now.
According to camperfaqs.com, a million Americans are already full-time RVers,
with 4 out of 10 saying they would go full-time.
Because of this popularity, we see many different companies taking part in the industry’s efforts.
One such company is ICC Offroad, which claims its base in the innovative country of Germany.
Its parent company has been around since the early ’90s,
initially dealing in trade with decommissioned vehicles.
ICC Offroad split off as a recent project in 2015 to deal with recreational expedition vehicles.
They are no amateur when it comes to vehicle construction, body construction, or repairs,
as they have logged more than their fair share of hours over the years.
They pride themselves on the one-on-one communication they have with their customers
to ensure that everything you need is provided and done well. They offer aid and advice
if you so choose to ask for it, and they say they will even repair your camper for a fair price,
even if it’s not their model.
And if you are looking for something made by them,
they use a unique method with special structures to better mold and construct your perfect camper.
You know the expression "light as a feather"? Well, New-Mexico-based camper manufacturer,
Earth Traveler Teardrop Trailers takes this expression quite literally.
In collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory SBA,
Earth Traveler created a material made of chicken feathers, resin, and fiberglass.
This ultra-light, super-durable material was weatherproof, heat-insulating,
and formed most of the non-structural components of the trailer.
Likewise, the frame is constructed out of ultra-light carbon fiber,
Kevlar, and corocell. In fact, the smaller of the two models, the T250XL is so light at 250 pounds,
it can even be towed by a motorcycle.
But it's the deceptively versatile configurations
that make the Earth Traveler a highly sought-after camper.
Once you've found your perfect campsite and locked your wheels with some heavy-duty wheel
chocks like these ones from Camco, it's time to see the Earth Traveler transform.
Now while it may just look like a capsule bed on wheels with a bit of storage underneath,
the Earth Traveler can actually sleep up to four people with some minor modifications.
The side doors fold out to form two cots, one on either side.
These new "rooms" can be closed off with privacy walls made from tent material.
The window at the front of the Earth Traveler can
be opened to extend a hatch – allowing standing room for the interior cabin.
You won't find much in the way of appliances in the Earth Traveler.
Still, there is an option to add a roof-mounted 100W Solar kit,
complete with a 12V panel, 35A Thunderbolt Magnum AGM Battery, regulator, and trickle charger.
Likewise, when it comes to dinner time, there are no built-in facilities. Earth Traveler does,
however, offer a portable kitchen module as an extra.
One of the main draws, however, is the price.
Starting at just $10,000, the Earth Traveler is one of the most affordable teardrops
on the market and continues to impress with its versatility and functionality.
Presently, the Earth Traveler is only available in the US,
but the hope of international shipping in the next few years is certainly in the cards.
You could be forgiven for thinking that Elon Musk decided to dip his toe into
the world of travel trailers with the latest innovative offering from newcomers, Polydrop.
Looking like a compact CyberTruck, the P17A
is an ultra-angular, all-electric, teardrop-shaped solar camper.
Built on an ultra-light aluminum frame, this trailer can be pulled by almost any vehicle,
even another electric vehicle.
Roof-mounted 520-Watt solar panels charge the 12kW LiFeP04 battery systems via a Pure Sine
Wave Inverter, which can handle at least six nights of completely off-grid camping.
The 20-liter fridge, pantry storage, and induction cooktop
can be accessed from both the inside and outside the main cabin.
Inside, the full-size bed feels like a tiny hotel room once all the doors are closed.
A full-sized control panel allows you to change the cabin's temperature,
lighting, and fan speeds as well as monitor power levels, and charge all your devices.
