The budget buyer has become a staple of Americana over the years as more and more people decide that
a well-built, functioning camper is just as good as a top-of-the-line luxury model.
And that is precisely the market that the German-based KLEOX Shelter intends to accommodate
by stripping a teardrop trailer down to its basics.
In this video, we'll be going over
everything this five-hundred-pound mini-teardrop has to offer.
Stick around and check out the honorable mentions at the end of the video.
Let's get to it!

Thank you for watching, Mind's Eye Design!
Kleox's journey started with a not-so-stellar night out
with only a tunnel tent to stave off the wet wilds.
That one eventful night of a soaked and sopping sleeping space painted the inspiration they
needed. They knew they needed a small, practical trailer camper for future endeavors.
They came up with an affordable, space-saving tiny teardrop
that can fit in your garage and can be used outside of camping as a mobile storage unit.
That camper is the KLEOX Shelter!
Why don't we investigate what it has to offer
as well as a couple of other variants the company has available as well?
Visually, the Shelter from KLEOX is a simple, small teardrop, which is part of the appeal.
The Shelter is built to be an alternative to all
those other pricey palaces they are calling campers these days.
It also has the added benefit of being towed by nearly any mini-car,
three-wheeler, or motorcycle while also sleeping two adults.
The GRP hood equipped to this cozy camper is indestructible by their words. It can
easily protect you and your camping buddy from the wet, wind, or other weather.
In truth, the Shelter is as close to a tent as it can be, without actually being a tent.
The fiberglass shell has two hard walls and a ceiling, which are the epitome of what the
Shelter aspires to be: nothing more, nothing less, just like a tent.
That design mentality is immediately apparent when you open the rear lift-gate
to see nothing more than fabric wall paneling and a pair of cargo nets.
There is no mattress, or galley, or kitchenette, or any other of those added amenities we see in
so many other campers. The Shelter is precisely, as the name states,
a shelter for you and your partner.
One of the hidden added benefits of such a simple construction is the camper's ease of repair. The
Shelter was designed for any layperson to quickly mend any damage with no prior knowledge.
And, if you want just a bit more space when you camp down,
there is an option for an annex tent extension. Even the extension is simple,
and it is more than easy to set up and relax or break down and store.
The Shelter is perfect for those who don't need much to have a good time.
Or, if you want to take on a project to build your own dream mini-camper,
KLEOX also offers an even more raw version of the Shelter called the Shelter Basic.
Yeah, the Shelter is their "luxury" model if you can believe that!
For those who appreciate a more natural aesthetic or construction,
KLEOX also offers Timber, which acts as a wood panel variant of the Shelter.
The interior is ever so slightly larger, and the roof is made of weatherproof GRP
in order to provide sufficient protection from the different climates you may encounter.
Suppose you do end up wanting a few of those amenities.
In that case, both the Timber and the Shelter offer a few added benefits
such as insect protection throughout, windows, a drawbar box, or a hitch lock.
If you have always wanted a trailer, but couldn't find one that is as simple as can
be with a price to match, then the Shelter may be just what you're looking for.
With a price of around five thousand six hundred dollars,
KLEOX certainly beats out a lot of the competition in terms of price,
with most other campers hovering around ten to forty thousand dollars.
That's quite a bit of money for what ultimately boils down to
sleeping in the woods with your friends and family.
Do you want one for yourself? Do you want to see more budget options?
We would love to hear your feedback!
With a combined total of over seventy years of experience in RV
manufacturing, Holland-based company of Easy Caravanning is innovating the marketplace.
Like any good thing, it’s nearly impossible to do alone, and that’s why Easy Caravanning
is working with Holtkamper, Karsten, and Hegge Industrial Design, or HID.
With Holtkamper handling production, Karsten manufacturing the tents, and HID designing the
various models and layouts, Easy Caravanning can make their concept a reality.
Holland is known for four things: its wooden shoes,
cheese, gorgeous countryside, and plenty of iconic windmills.
That’s why this Dutch-based company wanted to make a camper trailer that could be set up quickly.
Fast enough that you could stop and set it up at the rest area
instead of sleeping in your vehicle.
TAG offers a wide range of trailers to suit any need,
at any budget. The base model still offers creature comforts like air conditioning,
kitchen area, and external shower despite its low price.
The next size up appropriately named the TAG XL is a full foot wider,
enabling the addition of a ceramic heater for the interior space, YETI cooler, and microwave.
All powered by an onboard solar panel and battery storage.
A sizeable front stargazer window offers an uninterrupted view of the stars
while listening to your favorite tunes on the Bluetooth media center and sound system.
Dual-pane acrylic windows mean better sound attenuation
and a better night's rest.
Easily the oddest-looking trailer on the list, the Tentrax Overlook
looks like the lovechild of a truck tray and a rooftop tent.
It consists of a cargo storage area over the axels. The front
storage area is open-air and meant for things like lockboxes and coolers.
The removal of the need for paneling keeps the overall weight to a minimum
while still providing 45 cubic feet of lockable, sealed area for your gear.
The frame is made from hardened steel,
with a lightweight reinforced fiberglass body keeping it below the 500-pound mark.
It has a 2-inch lift in the suspension and is meant for
higher ride vehicles like jeeps
