- [Reacher] I'm definitely feeling that pull
for the great outdoors, so it's no surprise
that the somewhat eclectic mix in this video
is making me want to drop the microphone and head that way.
I'm Reacher and here are ten impressive caravans,
camper vans, and motorhomes.
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] Number ten.
- [Reacher] This first entry is hands down
the toughest looking trailer I've spoken about today,
and I've gone over hundreds of these.
The Vesper-X is a collaboration from the minds
at Florida-based companies Trans Global Overland
and Wee Roll, their goal, a versatile,
extremely rugged trailer that would still be affordable
for the everyday user.
The end result is nothing short of that, offering up
an aluminum frame covered
by a heavy gauge aluminum shell.
The roof offers four to five feet of hide
over a fully customizable floor space, measuring 60
square feet that sits almost two feet off the ground.
This versatility allows you to use it for anything,
from basic camping to hauling ATVs.
The all black design is the standard, but it does come
in a variety of colors if you want something
that looks a little less intimidating.
Throw in the ability for it to be towed
by mid-size vehicles due to the light weight,
you've got a hard one to pass up.
- [Narrator] Number nine.
- [Reacher] This latest effort from InTech RV is named Sol.
Having an overall length of just under 16 feet
and a width just under seven feet, it shows you
how they can include all the features you need
without sacrificing comfort or quality.
A single side door opens to a front dinette
spanning the width of the trailer, which offers room
to seat up to four people or sleep two
when converted to a bed.
In the rear is a queen bed,
which can sleep another two people.
A centrally located kitchenette separates those areas,
while opposite of that is an enclosed wet bath.
Large dual pane windows as well as the panoramic window
at the front provide natural light and airflow as needed.
You're going to need at least a full-size SUV or truck
to pull this one, as the tongue weight runs
around 450 pounds.
I want to give a shout out and say congratulations
to Derrick Duffy for winning our first engagement award.
Derrick is now a bit richer for being April's winner
of a $50 Amazon gift card, and if you're wondering
how you can be our next winner, it's really easy.
Each month, we'll be giving the award
to whomever is the most engaging with us
and commenting across our social media and YouTube channel.
Once again, congratulations to Derrick and thanks
to everyone for watching.
- [Narrator] Number eight.
- [Reacher] One of the many new models
by Canadian-based Prolite is the 12V, an all-electric camper
that runs completely on renewable energy
and I never get tired of mentioning that we love
all things eco-friendly.
The interior provides more than enough room
to maneuver, offering a height and width around six feet,
with an overall length of 13 feet.
The dinette shares the front of the trailer
with the kitchenette while the rear holds the bed,
which extends in size if needed,
taking up almost half of the floor space.
Two 100 watt solar panels are located on the roof,
providing all the power needs for the appliances,
lighting, and any extras.
As an added bonus, its especially designed to be towed
by compact cars, as its tongue weight is only 120 pounds.
I'd say that makes it a perfect match for my Prius.
- [Narrator] Number seven.
- [Reacher] This first of the drivable campers
on this list caught my eye due to one of its options,
but first a bit about the other stuff.
This version of the 610 series has
a monocoque fiberglass body, sitting on a fiat ducato base,
measuring 20 feet in length.
The centrally located passenger side entrance opens
to reveal two rotating captain's chairs in the cab.
Behind that is an L-shaped dinette
and a small kitchenette opposite each other.
Attached to the ceiling above this area
is a full-sized drop down bed with a double sky light.
The rear half of the camper has an enclosed wet bath
and closet, also opposite each other,
with set of bunk beds spanning the width of the van.
Yes, the treasure of bunk beds, but my favorite thing
about this one is that if you choose, the rear bed area
can be modified for use as a garage for bikes,
scooters, camping equipment, et cetera.
As I've said so many times before, versatility matters.
- [Narrator] Number six.
- [Reacher] If you like the idea
of environmentally conscious camping, then this line
of travel trailers might be something to consider
as they are meant to be towed by more fuel-efficient,
cross over vehicles and smaller SUVs.
Just as a side note, I would like to point out
that towing any trailer still adds to the fuel consumption.
In total, there are 11 different floor plans
for this line of campers, ranging in size
from 11 to 20 feet long.
The standard amenities include kitchenettes,
dinettes that convert to sleepers, and separate beds.
All of them include a wet bath,
except for the smallest models, while a few
of the largest also have slide outs
for increased living space, and for those of you who want
to have a bit more fun, one of the models is a toy hauler
with almost nine feet of garage space, so there's plenty
of room for all of your outdoor gear.
- [Narrator] Number five.
- [Reacher] The vintage look of this one
is definitely eye catching.
The inclusion of a large rear hatch is something
worth noting as well, but it's the layout
that really takes the trophy on this one.
In a space measuring 42 square feet, the company's designed
what it calls an adaptive interior.
This is composed of a series of modular components
including a table, kitchenette, bench, and cushions.
Each one is put into place on the floor,
which has 15 form-fitting slots, allowing the user
to reconfigure the layout in minutes,
as well as use the furniture outdoors.
The power comes from a 100 watt solar panel
with hookups for land-based utilities if needed.
- [Narrator] Number four.
- [Reacher] From the front to the back, inside and out,
this one is all about choices.
The company added another two models to the Arto line,
which brings the total to 13 different floor plans.
They're all built upon a fiat ducato chassis,
having four or six wheels with sizes ranging
from 24 to 29 feet in length.
Although the outer shell can be personalized
with colored accents as well as special finishes
for the paint, the interior has a few more to choose from,
with approximately 500 possible combinations
between the equipment and fabric options.
Each model comes standard with a large dinette area
that seats up to four people,
a centrally located kitchenette,
and a full-size drop down bed above the cab area,
but that's just the front half.
The rear houses a large bathroom and a bedroom,
both of which can be separated from the front
via a sliding wooden door.
This one also hides a small garage area
underneath the rear sleeper, which can be accessed
externally from either side.
- [Narrator] Three.
- [Reacher] What started in a garage in 2014
as a personal endeavor has culminated
into the trailer you see before you, and if you aren't one
for the teardrop style of trailers,
then this one might change your mind.
Externally, you'll find a seven foot awning
and a roof rack, while the rear houses a galley,
containing a stainless steel countertop
with a recessed dual burner cook top,
a locking drawer slide for a cooler,
and removable cabinet faces that double
as a table and cutting board.
Dual entrances provide access to the interior
which has a queen-size mattress, storage areas
at both end, and remote controlled LED lighting.
Overall, this one comes at 13 feet in length
and seven feet in width with a dry weight of 1600 pounds.
The tongue weight only runs around 125 pounds,
so this one should be fine for towing
with smaller vehicles as well.
- [Narrator] Number two.
- [Reacher] Of course camping is about being able
to go off road, so this one had to make the list.
It's built on an Iveco Daily 4x4 chassis
with an extended wheel base because why not
have the extra room?
Walking into this one gives you the first glimpse
of how cool it is because right in front of you
is a set of bunk beds.
Not only that, beside the beds, there's a panel
that opens out to allow natural light and airflow.
The bathing area, which includes a separately enclosed
standup shower is housed in the rear as well.
Moving forward, you'll find a centrally located kitchenette
opposite a dinette that can seat up to four people.
Another cool addition is a large panel beside the dinette
that opens out, providing you a better view
of the surroundings.
There's room to sleep up to four people
using the previously mentioned ultra cool bunk beds
and the full-sized bed in the cab over area.
And for those of you who may be wondering
how tough this thing really is, it has 24 forward gears,
four reverse gears, three differential locks,
and a diesel engine putting out 180 horsepower.
- [Narrator] Number one.
- [Reacher] If you've been thinking
of getting a convertible, then you may want
to pass on the high end sports car.
This effort from German-based Skydancer
is the world's first convertible motorhome.
Yes, I said motorhome.
The electrically-controlled roof opens by sliding
to the rear and can remain open while driving,
and just so we're clear, this isn't a sun roof
or a skylight, it's the whole front
of the roof that retracts.
It measures in at 23 feet in length, just over seven feet
in width, and ten feet in height.
That doesn't sound outside the realm of normal
until you take into account that the lack
of a standard cab means the driver is sitting up top
while operating the vehicle.
This terrace, which integrates seamlessly into the rest
of the living space includes four chairs and a small table.
The living area includes a large wet bath
with a slide out sink, a kitchenette opposite that,
and a full-size bed.
There's also additional sleeping room
in the previously mentioned terrace, as it transforms
into a full-size bed if needed.
An added bonus, which seems to be more commonplace,
is the rear garage area spanning the width of the vehicle.
It's spacious enough to hold up to four bicycles,
so it's safe to say that the sky's the limit
on any other gear you may want to take with you.
