Small Offroad Trailer with Large Bathroom (RKS Offroad Tour)

Just because an offroad trailer is small enough for the trail doesn't mean it can't have a large bathroom. Stick around because in this video we will be sharing 5 other small camper trailers that are offroad and have some form of integrated shower or toilet as well. Did I mention this trailer can carry 70 gallons of water on board? But a shower and a bathroom are not the only alluring features of this small off road camper. A skydeck for getting above the mud and mess. Timbren suspension. All aluminum chassis to prevent corrosion and keep the weight down. Plus a ton of other features designed to get you out and away from the crowds at your local camping grounds.

Update: During the "5 Similar Trailers Portion" I accidentally said gray water when I meant to say black water. Sorry for the confusion.

I can't imagine the cost of that trailer. All RVs have gone through the roof in terms of cost. I'm glad I bought mine when I did back in 2013 before all this crazy inflation occurred.

Drew, we truly feel inspired every time you do a video. More importantly your heart inspires us. Never really thought about the toilet part inside but you are right. Don’t mind a tiny shower inside. So I’m 66 hubby just turned 60. He grew up on a farm and lived in tents most of his life. He didn’t like a house. We like dining outside and just having a sleep inside area. We just want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for inspiring us what is most important about this life.

I really got hooked on your channel for your no nonsense product reviews. Amazi g to see how some of these off road trailers are evolving. Great job Drew.

I agree with the overkill bathroom. If you're buying an off road camper, it means boondocking lots, so outside facilities are a no brainer. Composting toilet, outside shower, etc. So many other options. That space can definitely be re-purposed. Even a mud room. The galley is awesome. Great ideas overall.

[DIYOutdoorLife]

There’s some really nice features with this rig. I love the T-channel and rear galley design. I’m with you 100% on the TW, it’s going to be pretty limiting on what vehicle you can drive and how much “off roading” you’ll actually be able to do.
Thanks for the great content!

That's the smartest camper build I have ever seen! Kudos!

[jgrant]

Thanks Drew! I am so much on the same page as you on what I like and don't like about this trailer. 70 gallon of water!! That's a load! They have some really innovative features that will appeal to many!

Hey mate. A few thoughts if you don't mind.
That ceramic flush toilet is a waste of space and water. Each flush takes a gallon of water so imagine hauling all that flush water. Unless you reuse the flush water 🤣 lol
Also they need to walk through the bathroom to get inside the bedroom... Hmmm
Skydeck is awesome
Also opus does not set up in 90seconds, I looked at it at Brisbane camping show and it is a 20min job. Yes, you run pumps for 90s to "pop the top" but the amount of work to get to that stage takes a long time. That was also why we went with a forward fold camper trailer - very popular in Australia but haven't seen them in the US or Canada except for the black series (stay clear of that company) trying to push it into the market.

My 33c. ;)

Love the content

Definitely a unique design but also definitely heavy. Good walk thru as always. I like your 5 comparable trailers, good job ! Thanks Drew !

RKS is a Cool Camper! Lotsa unique features. That much wt. coulda used tandem axles. Indoor potty is handy in the winter!
Voyager 1 slide-outs are great! External heat would help an awning room too.
Taxa Mantis, Sniper, Opus, Meerkat all went so fast, I'll have to watch your links, Thanks!

10 years ago I gave a guy in Eugene, OR $4, 000 and three months later he gave me a modified Benroy 5x8 trailer. Where they have come from seems to be forgotten and so many folks seem willing to pay the off road tax/premium for stuff that they will hardly use. Anyway, this is Thursday, one more appointment and on Wednesday of next week we are off from Vancouver Island to the Arctic...right up to Tuk. Dip our toes in the Arctic Ocean. Wish us good luck, eh?

And I'm with you Drew, bathroom outside, we want enhanced camping, not miniature RV-ing.

We bought a used teardrop from Rustic Trails Teardrop Campers (new-to-us). It’s pretty bare bones (no bathroom or tanks). Love the simplicity of it. We liked it because you can stand up (it’s about 5ft inside). It can be in bed mode or dining mode. Comes with a/c. We installed a mini frig that runs off our solar. It’s perfect! Even pull it with our Outback.

Reading the comments and feedback - so valuable. Drew you are like a moderator thar brings in people's experiences. Just great content. Thanks!!

LOVE your channel! As a small trailer enthusiast I'm on my sixth small camper in about 8 years and think I've found the best for me for now...a Runaway Cool Camp (just room enough for one and extremely lightweight and versatile). However, I so enjoyed your walk through vid of the Meerkat--if I had the funds I'd grab that one for sure. You are on the mark with your likes and dislikes about the one featured here. Thanks for your continued effort to provide useful information to small trailer folks like me. 🙂 PS...With this one I love the roof top deck and most other features but do not like the bathroom "in your face" at the front door! This would def be a cool trailer for some.

Have enjoyed your comments on trailers and camping equipment! How about considering an episode on how you would design/build a camper out of a small to mid-sized enclosed cargo trailer?

[rosemariebredahl]

Indoor bathroom is super important for me, but I'm willing to use a folding toilet + biobags, enclosed by shower curtain inset into plastic rectangle to catch shower water from a "solar heater" gravity-drain nozzle.

[devinbraun]

Late watching this one, but a fair review. I’m 53 and have been camping my entire life and have never used a trailer, let alone had a toilet, but I know from comment sections that it is the deal maker-or-breaker for a lot of people. I do foresee a small off-road able trailer in our not so distant future which is why I watch this channel (the best resource out there on the category IMO). My wife likes the idea of a toilet/shower being available, but when she sees it attempted in small trailers, realizes it’s limitations.

[jenniferstewarts]

actually re-watching that. there are only a few small changes i'd make with that bathroom but otherwise its perfect. Drew... think of that as a MUD ROOM. you come in grab the shower head and spray off your boots, waders, gear... use the head to "power blast" the dirt out the door, shut off the shower, take off your clothing in the mud room, then step into the trailer proper.

In winter, again, enter the mudroom, get the snow off and such in there, get undressed in there standing up at full height, then move inside. this allows the inside proper to stay cleaner and dryer. this option is great for small camper when you are in areas where dirt, snow, sand and such could be brought in. giving you a sheltered place to change and such which is designed to be able to be "sprayed down" and cleaned with the shower hose right there to do it.

I love my pop ups. I have seen many small campers but the price has been outrageous.
