For many, camping is a means to escape and enjoy nature in a way you cannot achieve in the city
or even in many rural areas.
Come along as we showcase an off-road trailer that can fully sustain you off-grid
by generating water and power anywhere there is light and air.
And stick around until the end of the video to look at our honorable mentions.

Thank you for watching, Mind's Eye Design!
After working closely with desperate Southeast Asian communities who lacked
power and water to thrive, Jason Andrews founded BluOasis in 2019.
The goal was simple; help solve the global water and power crisis in any way they could.
For many, a myriad of developments has left access to these necessities a difficult thing to obtain.
That is why BluOasis has initiated the BluPlanet initiative to help do its part to combat it.
With their BluMobil off-road trailer,
it’s as simple as hitting a button to get the most basic necessities.
Just by looking at this new boxy camper, you wouldn’t be able to fully appreciate
what it can do. Sure, it’s not flashy and pretty like many other camping solutions we showcase,
but it will do more than its fair share to keep you happy.
Built from an 1101 utility trailer,
the BluMobil is a utility camper with entirely off-grid camping capabilities.
While it is marketed as an off grid camping tool, it can even be used as a command center
for anything. Including remote work, disaster response, search, and rescue, and much more.
To make this off-road trailer truly grid independent,
it stacks an expandable one thousand five-hundred-watt solar array on top.
Add the ability to siphon the water out of the air to make up ten gallons of clean drinking
water a day in eighty-degree weather. You have accessible and sustainable power and water,
which the company set out to accomplish.
A person needs, on average, around a gallon of water daily,
so their solution can provide up to ten people with enough water every day.
The energy from the solar panel system is stored on the onboard
fifteen kilowatt-hour batteries, with options to double or triple the power storage.
The water is stored in the nearly forty-gallon freshwater tanks
and consumes roughly twelve kilowatts of energy daily.
In addition to these energy solutions, the BluMobil off-road trailer also includes over
eleven hundred gallons of storage and can sleep up to four on a queen-sized bed on the pop-up roof.
We still don’t know the price point for this trailer. Still,
a similar non-trailer unit from BluOasis with the same water and power availability
goes for around twenty-four thousand five hundred dollars as a reference.

Your feedback is always appreciated.
And stick around for our honorable mentions right after this.
The next camper on our list comes from the company Valkari Overland.
This UK-based company specializes in a single model.
With their focus on making their one travel trailer great, you know you're getting quality.
And that is an apt word to use for the Valkari X1, quality. And compact!
The Valkari X1 is designed for off-road use, coming equipped with a dual shock
independent suspension and advanced off-road automatic electric braking.
This tiny living habitat on wheels manages to haul along a full kitchen, too,
including a sink with hot and cold water, a wastewater sinkhole,
a couple of gas burner stoves, and a slideout fridge shelf.
There is even a water heater system and a showerhead along the outside.
To pair with that, there is also a water pump and fresh and grey water tanks.
A large aluminum storage box and a storage basket should take care of your concerns.
If not them, then the jerry cans, interior cupboards and under-seat storage will definitely take care of them.
The interior is just as accommodating, with a full
living and dining space featuring plenty of seating along with a dining table and a TV.
The beauty of it is that the living and dining space converts into an ample sleeping space with
room enough for two adults and one child. There is even an option for a roof sleeping deck.
The Valkari X1 is a stout one with plenty to offer.
Perfect for those who value a compact vacation.
The Nomadic System One, or NS-1 for short,
is the first solar-powered, all-electric, off-road teardrop camper to hit the market.
Manufactured by Colorado Campworks, the NS-1 is powered by a 200-Ah lithium-iron-phosphate battery
and 3,000-W inverter. Charging comes by way of 200W roof-mounted solar panels.
On the outside, you won't find any gas-powered cooktops. Instead,
the NS-1 comes with dual electric induction cooktops on a slide-out galley. It's the same
for hot water. Electric, on-demand heaters make sure that the external shower is nice and hot!
Inside, the Nomad sleeps up to four after the rooftop tent is expanded.
If that's not cozy enough, the NS-1 comes standard with warming acoustic paneling,
electric heating, AC, and LED lighting throughout.
The NS-1 also comes equipped with an extensive power management display
with attached AC and DC outlets to monitor your battery levels and power consumption.
The Australian outback features an almost limitless expanse of
rugged nothingness to explore. For South Australian couple Sam and Jenna Reynolds,
they'd spent years traveling the country in a Landcruiser and soft-floor camper trailer.
Not content with the lack of comfort and convenience of other campers on
the market at the time, engineer Sam designed his own, the hugely popular
Raker hard-floor camper trailer under his Adelaide-based company, Offline Campers.
Built on the galvanized Raker chassis, the Domino measures a floor length of 6.6 feet, a width
of 5.9 feet, and a tare weight of 2646 pounds. It's completed with a lightweight, yet durable
aluminum and stainless-steel body, twin shocks, jockey wheels, and a 2-foot drawbar extension.
If you're not staying long, two campers can climb into the double bed via a rear door without having
to unload gear and reconfigure the camper. Perfect for those roadside naps or quick overnighters.
When it's time to make base camp, one press of a button
and the fully electric assembly transforms the Domino into "camp mode."
A 180° Darche awning extends the space further and can be customized with private rooms or curtains.
Onboard you'll find a gas-plumbed stainless-steel slide-out kitchen
with a 2-burner stove, sink, and fridge. There's also a rear,
20-gallon water tank with a high flow pump fixed to a showerhead or cleaning attachments.
Electrical comes by way of 2,
105 Ah AGM batteries that can be charged by AC or DC mains or optional roof-mounted solar panels.
This powers camp lighting, USB charging ports, and a single electrical outlet.
With Offline Campers now exporting to the world, the Domino is perfect for a couple or small family
that want generous storage and convenient comfort while off-grid!
Founded in Tauranga, New Zealand, in 2015 by the brother and sister team, Jack & Kate Hendry,
K-Pods is a fast-growing caravan and camping manufacturer with some fascinating designs.
The first of their 2021 models we'll be exploring is the Weekender Deluxe.
Measuring in at just under 12 feet in length, the Weekender Deluxe is first sculpted out of a
single piece of white fiberglass. Which can then be wrapped in a vinyl decal of your choosing.
2, 80-watt flexible solar panels sit affixed to a central ridge on the front
and roof, charging the 105amp battery and powering the 12- & 240-volt connections.
Inside, a kitchen unit with stainless steel sink and drain connects to the 41 liter dual fresh and
wastewater tanks. The kitchen tap can also be removed and double as an outdoor shower head.
The interior dinette converts into a bed for two with storage above
and below in the ample-sized cabinets.
Customers have a choke of custom vinyl or
fabrics on the internal spaces and can color-code to their heart's content.
While sharing most of the specs from the Weekender Deluxe,
the Off-Roader from K-Pods has a few differences that set it apart.
Designed for the road less traveled, the Off-Roader features a reinforced chassis,
15" off-road tires, a skid bar, a stone guard, and aluminum tread plate guards.
On top of this, customers can also choose from a range of premium upgrades.
Including a portable toilet, longer bed and mattress upgrade, awning tent, draw fridge,
gas water heater, microwave, TV/DVD, multiple table options, and much, much more.
Looking like a military-esque armored personnel carrier,
the Crawler 428 is as tough as it is practical.
This off-road camper trailer featuring aluminum construction is lightweight
while at the same time retaining aircraft-like strength.
Maybe it's the oversized and visible rivets that line the exterior of the trailer.
Inside you'll find a convertible dining area. A queen bed can be expanded via rear tent
and rooftop tent for those extra visitors or just for a breath of that fresh mountain air.
A 130-liter water tank can be fitted to an optional external showerhead,
and solar provisions are ready to install your own rig.
Outside, under the all-weather awning, the Crawler features a mini kitchen complete with a sink,
stoves, and even a dining table. For added security, the large supply cabinet can only
be accessed from the interior, keeping all your gear and other supplies safe.
If cramped campsites and overbooked RV parks seem like a nightmare to you,
you might not only need to go off-road, you may have to disconnect from the grid altogether.
Off-Grid Trailers released their all-metal off-road camper trailer in 2020 to rave reviews.
The body is made from high-strength, lightweight aluminum and Engineered with a "zero-wood"
construction process. At the same time, the frame is built out of powder-coated steel.
The interior cabin's floor is lined with a waterproof, ThermoLite SpaceAge Synthetic.
Meanwhile, a queen-size, high-density memory foam bed fits neatly into space for two adults.
If some friends drop by, the rooftop tent can comfortably fit another couple.
Onboard, a fully integrated electrical system boasts LED lighting,
USB charging, dual bank shore power charger, solar connectivity, and a ten-speed reversible roof fan.
An external, drop-down kitchen uses stainless-steel kitchen countertops,
a dual-burner stove, a built-in sink, and a 55-liter fridge.
