Video: Take a Tour of the Keystone Coleman Manufacturing Plant
A few weeks back, Camping World shared a press release announcing that the Keystone Coleman line of budget-friendly travel trailers was the best-selling model of 2025 so far. That announcement may come as a surprise to some readers, who may remember previous Coleman models as lacking in features and suffering from poor build quality. But since Keystone took over the manufacturing process, that isn’t the case anymore. In fact, these towables are now a great choice for first-time buyers and families who want to go camping without breaking the bank. And as you’ll see from the video above, they’re built with quality in mind, while still maintaining an attractive price point.

The video takes us inside the Keystone Coleman manufacturing plant, giving us a tour of the facility as these RVs are being made. As you’ll see, the trailers are built to exacting standards, with care and attention going into their assembly. The focus is to make the high-quality trailer that is easy to tow and own. That includes adding some features typically not found in this market segment, like tankless water heaters, residential appliances, and more living space, while still maintaining a low cost of entry.
Keystone took over production of the Coleman brand in 2024 and revamped much of the line. The company kept the most popular floor plans—the 17B and 17R—but nearly everything else was rethought from the ground up. That included new designs, new graphics and colors, and new floor plans across the Coleman, Coleman Lantern, Coleman Legacy, and Coleman Light travel trailers. The result has been a much-needed revamp for this iconic RV brand, raising quality without dramatically impacting the price. That’s evidenced by the success that Coleman has in the early months of 2025, despite economic uncertainties across the industry.

Check out the video above to learn more about how Keystone’s manufacturing process is impacting the Coleman brand. The eight-minute clip takes us inside one of the manufacturing facilities to give us a first-hand look at how these towables are made. You might be surprised at what you see, as designers and builders work to redefine our thoughts on what a budget RV looks and performs like.

10 Lightweight Campers to Consider Under 3,000 lbs.
If you’re new to the world of RVs—or, let’s be honest, even if you’re an old pro at this—there are a lot of models to choose from these days. For many travelers, the huge Class A motor coaches and even the large travel trailers and fifth-wheels are enticing, but just aren’t all that practical for their needs. For them, lightweight campers that don’t require a large tow vehicle is where it is at, removing much of the expense and complexity from the equation.
But just because you’re not interested in something massive doesn’t mean you have to “rough it.” Lightweight RVs get more and more advanced every year, with more features and amenities making them more than just comfortable—they’re downright luxurious. And with some truly enticing options now coming in under 3,000 lbs., it is possible to have a well-equipped model that you can haul behind your daily driver.
So, what should you be looking for in a camper under 3,000 lbs.? As it turns out, there are dozens of brands out there producing lightweight campers. Which ones are the best?
Thankfully, that diversity means there are plenty of options for finding the one that’s right for you. Because of that, many of these little guys fly under the radar, despite being excellent options that will take you anywhere you want to go.
Let’s look at ten campers to consider, all of which are under 3,000 lbs.
Airstream Basecamp 16

Airstream’s design and build quality are legendary, but did you know that the RV manufacturer makes a lightweight camper that is easy to tow? The Basecamp 16 is one of the smaller models in the Airstream catalog, making it ideal for towing with a mid-size truck or SUV. And like its larger siblings, this model features the brand’s iconic aluminum frame that is designed to last for decades, while offering outstanding performance in a variety of weather conditions or when traveling off-road.
The Basecamp 16 makes the most of its space, using versatile bench seating with removable tables as a dining area/workspace. Those benches convert into a bed with room to comfortably sleep two adults. The onboard galley kitchen has a two-burner stove, stainless steel sink, a microwave, and a refrigerator. There’s even a wet bath with a shower, toilet, and sink, all in a rig that is just 16 feet in length.
True to its name, the Basecamp is a great option for active outdoor enthusiasts. It offers cargo space for plenty of outdoor gear and it comes with a 300W solar panel. Air conditioning is optional, although a 12,000 BTU ducted furnace is standard.

Dry Weight: 2,650 lbs.
TAXA Cricket Overland

It may be named for something small, but the TAXA Cricket Overland comes in big with the options, features, and versatility. And while the standard Cricket is a perfectly suitable lightweight camper, the Overland takes everything up a notch or two. Compared to its non-Overland counterpart, this model has better ground clearance and upgraded off-road tires, allowing you to get further off the grid. If you’re looking for a camper that will stand out from the crowd, the style alone sets it apart. Its funky, angular look is striking, but functional too. There’s a pop-up roof for better ventilation, and five windows (with screens), and five more mesh windows, there’s plenty of cross breeze to be had.
Inside, the Cricket Overland sleeps two adults and two kids comfortably. But there’s plenty of seating as well—plus a small cafe table in case you’re working on the go. And the kitchen is highly functional, too, featuring a two-burner cooktop, a counter, and a covered sink to add even more space. It also comes equipped with furnace for extended season camping and a water heater to help with cooking and cleanup.
Despite its size, storage is also not an issue, with plenty of space all around. It even comes with stackable milk crates that can be easily removed and filled for packing.
Dry Weight: 1,978 lbs.
Aliner Amp

Aliner specializes in making lightweight campers that don’t compromise on performance or specs. In fact, most of the company’s current catalog of travel trailers fall under the 3,000 lbs. dry weight mark, including its Scout, Ranger, Expedition, and Evolution models. But we’re especially impressed with the Amp, which is custom-made for wandering off-road and off-grid.
The aptly named Amp comes with a 5kWh EcoFlow lithium battery pack, 400W solar panels, and a 3,600W inverter. This allows owners to camp in remote places while still powering the rig’s mini-fridge, LED lights, single-burner induction stove, and tankless water heater. The towable is also outfitted with a 16,000 BTU furnace and a 9,000 BTU air conditioner to keep you comfortable all year long.
Other features include a swivel cassette toilet, indoor and outdoor showers, a couch that converts to a bed, and keyless entry. The trailer uses an A-frame design that collapses down to a small profile while in transit, and expands for added space at the campsite. Perhaps best of all, it can be stored in a garage back home when not in use.
Dry Weight: 2,600 lbs.
NuCamp T@G Teardrop Trailer

TAG (or T@G) teardrop trailers are the epitome of small in stature but big in features. Coming in both standard and XL versions, it’s a lightweight unit that offers the basics you need for camping, with few extra features for added comfort. Unlike some other trailers you’ll see on this list, the interior of the TAG is literally just a bed—albeit a massively comfortable one. A queen-size mattress lets you stay comfy and cozy when you crawl in at the end of the night. You’ll also find Amish cabinetry for storage, an air conditioner and heater, a power roof fan to keep air circulating, a stargazer window, and a surprising amount of under bed storage.
But wait, there’s more. The kitchen lives under a pop-up at the rear of the outside of the camper. It includes a stainless steel sink and faucet, a two-burner stove, and a microwave. There’s a designated space that’s perfect for holding a powered cooler, plus storage for pots, pans, and other cooking paraphernalia. The kitchen even has a couple of speakers so you can rock out while you cook.
Optional upgrades include a 180W solar package, a 100Ah lithium battery, and a wireless battery monitoring system. Basically, everything you need to camp off-grid.

Dry Weight: 1,335 lbs. (Classic model)
KZ Sportsmen Classic

The KZ Sportsmen Classic has been a mainstay in the RV industry for a number of years, delivering full-size travel trailer comfort and features in a lightweight model built for couples and young families. This rig is available in eight floor plans, with six models coming in with a dry weight of under 3,000 lbs., and the remaining two, just nudging over that mark.
Key features in each model include large, comfortable beds in the primary sleeping area, with all floor plans including a dinette, save the 130BH, which replaces that space with a set of bunks. The onboard kitchenettes are equipped with a two-burner cooktop, a microwave, a mini-fridge, and a single-basin sink. You’ll also get a dry bath with a toilet, corner shower, and another sink.
Powered awnings are included on every Sportsmen Classic, helping to extend the living space outdoors. A 20,000 BTU furnace keeps the travel trailer cozy in cool conditions, while integrated wireless Bluetooth speakers let you get your groove on. A digital TV antenna, LED interior lighting, a tank monitoring system, and solar and backup camera prep all come standard.
Dry Weight: 2,310 – 3,300 lbs.
InTech Luna Rover

Teardrop shapes make for great campers because they’re easy to tow and offer so much space inside. The InTech Luna Rover is no different. The Luna comes in a Base package that is an excellent option, too, but the Rover offers better off-grid performance for those who really enjoy being outdoors. That said, you can’t go wrong with either model and both are excellent lightweight campers.
The interior of the Luna is also primarily a bed, but this one folds up into a couch when you want to use a cabin as a living space. You’ll also find a few other nice amenities, including , an air conditioning unit, a radio, and a small television. The towable even come with a couple of seats and a small table, which come in handy if you find yourself stuck inside during some some inclement weather.
The Rover package upgrades the base with off-road tires and an adjustable roof rack, among other things. It sleeps two adults comfortably, and can even include an optional stowaway toilet. Other options include a fireplace, a 12V mini-fridge, a microwave, and an awning.

Dry Weight: 1,775 – 1850 lbs. (Rover model)
Forest River Rockwood Tent

On a serious budget? It shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are plenty of lightweight camper options that are still on the wallet-friendly side. The Forest River Rockwood Tent is one of them. This pop-up tent camper folds up nicely—making towing a brezze—but when “popped,” offer a ton of space inside. Two beds (yes, you read that right) come standard, so you can sleep up to four easily.
Eight unique floor plans offer different layouts and features. Some include a spacious dinette and table, others include a couch, and a few come with a toilet and shower. All models are equipped with a nice kitchen—with some including an exterior kitchen as well. There’s a fridge, oven, microwave, and counter space in all of them, giving camp chefs plenty of options when it comes to meal prep.

Because the sidewalls of the camper are mesh (it’s a tent, after all) it’s easy to get a nice cross breeze and stay cool at night. When you need a little privacy—or additional warmth—zip the windows up. These lightweight campers are affordable options for three-season outings and are perfect for families.

Dry Weight: 1,299 – 3,058 lbs. depending on the floor plan
Jayco Jay Feather Air SL

Jayco’s entry into the lightweight camper space is the Jay Feather Air SL, a travel trailer squarely aimed at RVing couples and small families. The rig uses the company’s A-frame and galvanized steel construction to create a high-quality towable that won’t break the bank nor require a large tow vehicle to haul it around.
Available in one floor plan, the Jay Feather Air SL comes with a queen-size bed, integrated cabinets, shelves, and nightstands, and a cozy dinette for sharing meals and socializing. Two bunks added additional sleeping space, while the onboard bathroom includes a toilet and a spacious shower. The well-appointed kitchen comes with a two-burner stove, a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a sink with a high-rise faucet.
While not a true four-season camper, the Jay Feather Air SL does come with a 13,500 BTU A/C unit and a 19,000 BTU furnace, keeping it comfortable in a wide range of temperatures and conditions. Solar prep, an on-demand water heater, powered awning, and LED lighting are all amongst its many standard features. A 200W solar package is optional.
Dry Weight: 2,995 lbs.
Forest River No Boundaries

This one is for serious explorers. The Forest River No Boundaries travel trailers are lightweight campers that are versatile, durable, and built for adventure. They also happen to be toy haulers, making them even more enticing. Yes, you can load up your ATV or motorcycle or whatever outdoor toys you enjoy and bring them along with you wherever you go. Not bad for an RV with several floor plans that weigh less than 3,000 lbs.
So, how exactly does a lightweight camper also serve as a toy hauler? These models accomplishes this by using creative design and construction to make the interior space as flexible and versatile as possible. Floor plans make use of fold-away tables and soft beds, roof racks, under-floor storage, and other creative design elements to make room for all your outdoor gear. But that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on comforts and conveniences. Even the smallest base model comes with air conditioning, a fireplace, a large fridge, and a wall-mounted TV.

To be fair, Forest River now offers the NoBo line in 20 different floor plans, most of which exceed our 3,000 lbs. weight limit. But the smaller models do meet our requirements, while the larger ones are still very light for the features and functionality they offer. Plus, they’re rugged enough to wander off pavement and serve as an excellent base camp for your outdoor adventures.
Dry Weight: 2,179 – 2,274 lbs. (10 Series models)
Lance 1475 Travel Trailer
Photo Credit: Lance
Simple, elegant, and well-equipped are all words we’d use to describe the Lance 1475 Travel Trailer. This lightweight model exhibits Lance’s trademark durability and reliability, in a package that is nimble and easy to tow. In fact, the 1475 was built from the ground up with small SUV and truck owners in mind, utilizing an aerodynamic design and durable—yet light—materials to create a rig that doesn’t compromise on comfort or space.
The 1475’s long list of standard features includes plenty of items you would expect to find in larger, heavier, and pricier travel trailers. Things like a residential queen-size bed, integrated JBL speakers, and LED lighting throughout. The galley kitchen is especially nice, with a three-burner stainless steel stove, a built-in range hood, a mini-fridge, and a decorative backsplash. Two comfy lounge chairs, plenty of integrated storage, and a private bathroom are also standout items.
One thing that is often lacking on smaller RVs is windows that allow natural light inside. That isn’t the case here, as this model not only has plenty of windows, it includes overhead skylights to help brighten the interior and save on energy use. The cabinets, floors, and other materials also have a light, modern look that gives the 1475 an inviting feel.
Dry Weight: 2,905 lbs.

Video: Inside the 2025 Airstream Basecamp Xe Travel Trailer
A few weeks back, we shared the news that Airstream had launched a new version of its Basecamp travel trailer designed specifically for camping off-grid. The new model—dubbed the Airstream Basecamp Xe—comes standard with 600W of solar and a massive 10.3kWh Battle Born house battery. Pair that with a suite of electric appliances, including an induction cooktop, mini-fridge, water heater, and an optional A/C unit, and you have a fantastic boondocking rig that comes ready to go straight from the factory.
Photo Credit: Airstream
All of those tech features are nice, of course, but what about the rest of the RV? Well, as you’ll see in the video above, just as much thought has been put into the interior layout and functionality, making this a versatile, convenient, and fun travel trailer. Highlights include a U-shaped dinette that converts to a bed in the front and a second convertible bed in the back. An onboard wet bath includes a toilet and shower, while both sleep areas include removable tables, allowing them to double as gathering points.
The Basecamp Xe is built on the Basecamp 20 platform but includes a few key upgrades that enhance its capabilities. For instance, it comes with off-road tires and a 3″ lift kit, giving it better performance and stability on rough terrain. Under-floor storage and an integrated L-track system make it easy to bring your favorite gear along, too. The rig even has an outdoor shower for a quick rinse off after a long day on the trail.
Photo Credit: Airstream
For a longer, more detailed look, check out the video above. It comes directly from Airstream and provides some interesting insights into everything this trailer is capable of. It also provides a great sense of the Basecamp Xe’s floor plan, which is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and single families. The clip does an excellent job of showing off all of the features and demonstrating the flexibility of the interior space.
The Basecamp Xe is available now with a starting price of $76,900. To learn more, visit Airstream.com.

The New Airstream Basecamp 20Xe is an Off-Grid Power House
Over the past year, Airstream has focused on upgrading its off-grid performance by adding additional solar panels and larger house batteries to its line of travel trailers. But with its new Basecamp 20Xe model, the iconic brand is taking things to an entirely new level. Just announced this past weekend, the Xe promises to be a game-changer for boondockers, making it easier than ever to camp at a remote campsite without compromising comfort.
Photo Credit: Airstream
At first glance, the Airstream Basecamp Xe looks a lot like the other Basecamp models already in the Airstream catalog. That’s because it is built on the standard Basecamp 20 chassis, which has already proven to be durable and dependable, with some solid off-road chops. But the new edition to the line-up brings some extra features that extend its capabilities even further, giving owners more freedom to camp wherever they want.
The Xe comes with 600W of rooftop solar panels as standard equipment, with the option to add an additional 300W via a pre-wired port. Those panels feed power to a 10.3kWh Battle Born house battery connected to a 3,000W inverter. That’s an enormous amount of capacity for any RV, but especially so for a travel trailer the size of the Basecamp. This single-axle model is just 20’ in length, can be towed by most mid-size SUVs, and comfortably sleeps four.
Photo Credit: Airstream
Airstream has equipped the Basecamp Xe with all-electric appliances, including a 1,500W single-burner induction cooktop, a 12V refrigerator/freezer, a water heater, and furnace. An air conditioner and microwave are optional add-ons. Fully inverted power is also supplied to all of the trailer’s AC and USB outlets, making it easy to keep your personal devices and other gadgets charged and operational.
For now, the Basecamp Xe is available in a single floor plan, which includes a U-shaped dinette that converts to a bed in the front. The second sleep area is located in the rear, where bench seating and a removable table transform into a second bed. The galley kitchen is found amidship, as is the wet bath complete with shower, toilet, and sink. The rig also comes with underfloor storage for gear and has a 20 lbs. propane hookup as a back-up for the solar electrical system. Off-road tires come standard.
Photo Credit: Airstream
The standard Basecamp 20 has a starting price of $56,900, while the Xe model runs $20,000 more before any optional upgrades. Still, for that price, you’re getting a very impressive off-grid travel trailer that features Airstream’s legendary build quality. Add in the ability to wander off-pavement and camp just about anywhere, and you begin to see why this new travel trailer is so exciting.

The Cube Series Travel Trailer is a Revolutionary Pop-Up
Pop-up campers have been a mainstay in the RV space for decades, offering a compact, lightweight, and affordable way to go camping. But by their nature, these types of travel trailers often come with design elements that can limit their usability. For instance, they don’t typcially offer as much protection from the elements compared to other types of RVs, and they can be noisy, less private, and have fewer creature comforts, too. There are some exceptions to that rule, however, including an intriguing new option called the Cube Series Trailer, which brings some interesting new ideas to the table that are somewhat revolutionary.
Photo Credit: Cube Series
At first glance, the Cube Series Trailer looks a lot like any other pop-up you might see out on the road. It features a compact design that is 20′ 3″ in length and measures just 6′ 6″ tall when collapsed and is 20′ 3″ long. The camper is lightweight, too, tipping the scales at a mere 2,730 lbs., making it easy to tow behind a wide variety of vehicles. That low weight is achieved by using a combination of aluminum, alloys, and composite materials to create the frame and body, keeping weight to a minimum while remaining extremely durable.
Once parked at the campsite, the trailer’s unique design quickly becomes apparent. Like a traditional pop-up, the top raises up, revealing the interior living space. But rather than having walls made from a soft canvas-like material, the Cube Series model includes hard composite walls that fold upwards and lock into place, creating an environment that more closely resembles a regular travel trailer, complete with a quiet interior that is private and well protected from the elements. The quick and simple set-up process is shown nicely in the video above, which goes into much more detail on the towable.
Photo Credit: Cube Series
Inside, the Cube Series Trailer offers a surprisingly comfortably and inviting living space. Features include a two-burner stove, a small refrigerator/freezer, a microwave, and LED lighting throughout. An L-shaped dinette provides a versatile space for eating meals, playing games, or getting some work done. Naturally, that same dinette converts into a guest bed, which compliments the queen-size bed in the back of the rig. Aluminum cabinets offer plenty of onboard storage, without adding undo weight.
Other features include fold-down entry steps, a 30-amp shore power connection, an exterior shower, and five large acrylic windows that allow plenty of natural light into the cabin. The trailer also comes with an electric water pump, a tank and battery monitoring system, freeze-resistant water lines, and a 12V AGM battery. A Truma on-demand water heater, a wet bath with cassette toilet, and a 6,000 BTU air conditioner are among the many available upgrades.
Photo Credit: Cube Series
The Trailer is available in two versions: the standard model and an off-road edition, which includes larger all-terrain tires. Pricing starts at $56,879. To learn more about this exciting new fold-up travel trailer, check out the video above. It provides a full walk-through of the RV and provides a great sense of what it brings to the table. Then, head over to the Cube Series website for more information and get a look at the company’s pop-up truck camper, too.

The 2025 Starcraft Super Lite Travel Trailer is Perfect for Couples and Families
For more than 60 years, Starcraft has been finding ways to make it easier for us to get outside and connect with nature. Over those six decades, it has created a legacy of building travel trailers that are easy to tow and simple to operate, eliminating the barriers that keep us from going camping more often. That same approach continues to drive the brand to this day, helping it create some of the most well-rounded, well-built, and affordable RVs on the road. Take for example the all-new 2025 Starcraft Super Lite, a feature-packed towable that couples and families are sure to love.
Photo Credit: Starcraft
Available in seven distinct floor plans, the Super Lite has something to offer just about everyone. For instance, the 212FB is the smallest in the line-up, but with its queen-size bed and convertible sofa, it still offers room for four. A well-equipped kitchen and a surprisingly large bathroom bring unexpected luxuries to a rig that measures just 23’ 3” in length and has a GVWR of 6,400 lbs.
At the other end of the spectrum, you’ll find the 261BH floor plan, which at 30’ 6” and a GVWR of 7,600 lbs. is one of the largest in the Super Lite catalog. It comes with a private primary sleep space with a queen-size bed, along with two double-over-double bunks, plus a convertible dinette and a tri-fold couch, allowing it to comfortably sleep up to ten. And with plenty of both interior and exterior storage, everyone can bring all of their favorite camping gear along for the journey.
Photo Credit: Starcraft
Regardless of which floor plan you choose, the Super Lite delivers top-notch design and build quality throughout. For instance, the rig comes with Starcraft’s proprietary Magnum Roof System, which is not only highly durable but easy to access and maintain, too. That same roof is fully insulated, and the RV is also thermally sealed, enclosed, and comes with an insulated and heated underbelly. And if that isn’t enough, Starcraft uses the TuffShell Vacuum Bond Lamination Process on the walls, creating an overall stronger and more durable structure.
The Super Lite’s long list of standard features includes a 200W solar package and a 30-amp solar controller. All models come with an efficient 12V refrigerator, a three-burner stove, a microwave, stainless steel sinks, and high-rise residential faucets. Energy-saving LED lighting is found throughout, and a smart HDTV and Bluetooth soundbar come standard, as do a 5G cellular antenna, a dome-style digital TV antenna, and Wi-Fi prep. Optional add-ons include electric stabilizer jacks, theater seating, and an upgraded solar package.
Photo Credit: Starcraft
As if all of that wasn’t enough, the 2025 Starcraft Super Lite has a starting price tag of just $34,493. That makes it one of the most affordable and well-equipped travel trailers on the market. To learn more—and check out all of the floor plans—visit starcraftrv.com.

Ember RV’s E-Series SPARK is the Lightweight Travel Trailer of Your Dreams
When Ember RV first burst onto the scene a few years back, it blew us away with its fresh takes on the humble travel trailers. The company’s Overland Series and Touring Edition models set new standards for build quality, thoughtful design, and outstanding capabilities, quickly garnering the attention of the rest of the industry. Now, the brand has expanded its catalog to include the E-Series SPARK, a line of towables that delivers everything we loved about its original campers, in a lighter and more affordable package.
Photo Credit: Ember RV
There is a lot to love with the E-Series SPARK, starting with its roomy interiors. This model features a full eight-foot width, which translates to a more spacious cabin without impacting maneuverability. Better still, this model has a best-in-class 82” ceiling height, meaning unless you’re playing in the NBA, there is a good chance you can comfortably stand up inside this travel trailer.
The E-Series SPARK also exhibits Ember’s trademark quality construction. Like the Overland Series and Touring Edition, this model utilizes Azdel® composite materials to provide excellent durability, outstanding insulation, and improved resistance to water damage. A fully enclosed and heated underbelly, paired with radiant barrier insulation, makes this travel trailer a great option for extended-season camping, too.
Photo Credit: Ember RV
Inside, the E-Series SPARK is no less impressive. From its premium vinyl flooring, plush residential queen-size bed, and the inclusion of the EmberLink Smart RV control system, this single axle series delivers comfort and convenience. The well-equipped kitchen is a particular standout, with a two-burner stove, convection microwave oven, a stainless steel sink, and an efficient 12V refrigerator making meal prep fun and easy.
With 4 floor plans to choose from, the E-Series SPARK has something to offer everyone. We’re especially fond of the 19ETS model, which incorporates Ember’s innovative and versatile patent-pending EmberTrack system. This novel design element provides unprecedented flexibility for how owners use their interior space, allowing them to quickly and easily add bunks, create an office space, utilize extra storage, create an outdoor kitchen, and much more.
Photo Credit: Ember RV
All of this is just the tip of the iceberg for everything the E-Series SPARK has to offer. We didn’t even have time to mention the rig’s 18,000 BTU Furrion air conditioner, for instance, not to mention its fully walkable roof, and 15” Goodyear Endurance tires. Add in a relatively low tow weight and a length between 21 and 23 feet, and you get a travel trailer that is ready to accompany you on any adventure.
As with Ember’s other travel trailers, the E-Series SPARK is covered by its “Easy as 1-2-3” warranty—which is good for two camping seasons. To learn more about this amazing travel trailer, visit EmberRV.com.

Meet the Rugged and Adventurous Northwood Nash Camp Travel Trailer
Northwood has a reputation for building some of the finest fifth-wheels and travel trailers on the market, and the Nash Camp is no exception. As with the other towables in the company’s line-up, this rig is designed for four-season camping and off-grid exploration, making it the perfect base camp for your favorite outdoor adventures.

Available in four unique floor plans, the travel trailer sleeps four to ten people depending on the layout. Each model rides on its own custom-built Northwood Ironhorse chassis, which provides outstanding durability and stability. A fully welded aluminum frame, laminated multi-layered substrate walls, and industry-leading build quality make this a travel trailer that provides years of worry-free service in a wide range of conditions.
The Nash Camp’s high-density block foam insulation, heated and enclosed holding tanks, 1,000 BTU auto-ignition furnace, and 13,500 BTU air conditioner keep the rig comfortable and cozy all year round. And with a 400W factory-installed solar package, a massive freshwater tank, and all-terrain tires, you can confidently wander off-grid in pursuit of that perfect campsite.

Inside, the Nash Camp is just as impressively equipped. All floor plans include a primary sleep space in the front with a queen-size pillow-top mattress and handmade wooden wardrobes. Each model comes with a spacious dinette and most also have a lounge area equipped with theater seating or a sofa. A nicely-appointed kitchen features a three-burner stove, a stainless steel sink, 12V refrigerator, and a microwave that doubles as a built-in air fryer. The onboard bathroom even has a tub and a porcelain foot-pedal toilet.
Other nice features we love include an integrated AM/FM sound system with Bluetooth connectivity and external marine-grade speakers. A powered awning with LED lighting helps extend the Nash Camp’s living space to the outdoors, while its copious amounts of internal and external storage make it easy to bring all of our favorite gear. The rig comes with a built-in omnidirectional TV antenna, but is also satellite-ready. Optional upgrades include an 3.6 Onan LP generator and large solar packages.

The Northwood Nash Camp ranges in size from 27’ 8” to 32’ 4”, with a GVWR of 9,200 lbs. to 10,700 lbs. depending on the floor plan. The rig’s sleek exterior, comfortable interior, and four-season performance put it in a class all its own, making it one of the best travel trailers for active RVers.

The Ride: This Travel Trailer is Cozy Like a Fox
There once was an era when, for most RV owners, the onset of winter meant storing their rig until late spring. But manufacturers have made great strides in recent years, building trailers that can keep things toasty when the mercury takes a plunge. There’s perhaps no better example than the Arctic Fox Edge from Northwood.
The double-axle towable comes with all the amenities you’d expect from a modern travel trailer: a palatial kitchen with residential-style appliances and solid-surface countertops, a bathroom with a spacious shower and porcelain toilet and a primary bedroom boasting a king-size bed, copious storage and a separate entrance. Still, it’s the rig’s cold-weather capability that sets it apart.

“Build-quality and four-season performance are our number-one priorities,” says Donald Cochran, Northwood’s chief sales of cer. “But with the AFox Edge we wanted to take things a little further—and it shows in its specs.”
Those specs include high-density block foam insulation, staving off chilly drafts and keeping heat inside. Reflective materials in the roof and on the slides, plus additional insulation in the ceiling, bolster those efforts. Add a 1,000-BTU auto-ignition furnace, frameless thermal pane windows and fully wrapped and heated holding tanks, and you have a travel trailer that—as its name suggests—is built for arctic conditions.

Northwood’s Iron Horse chassis serves as the platform. Custom built for each floor plan, the chassis enhances the trailer’s durability and off road chops. “We’re the only manufacturer that builds our own chassis,” Cochran says. “That allows us to have complete control over the quality and integrity of every aspect of the trailer.”
Attention to detail shines through in the Arctic Fox Edge, an RV that performs equally well on- and off-grid all year long. Regardless of what’s going on beyond those well-insulated walls, you might just think you’re staying at the actual Four Seasons.

Video: Checkout the Dutchmen Aspen Trail 3200WAP’s Amazing Walk-Around Porch
One of the trends we’ve seen recently in the RV market is an increasing number of models coming with a rear deck. Now, to be clear, decks and porches aren’t a new feature, but in the past they’ve usually been found on toy haulers, converting the rear cargo ramp into usable outdoor space. But now, they’re starting to pop up on other types of travel trailers and fifth-wheels, too, adding a design element that is fun, functional, and unique. Such is the case with the 2025 Dutchmen Aspen Trail 3200WAP, which looks like a winner for a number of reasons.

The video above takes us on a tour of the Aspen Trail 3200WAP floor plan. In this case, the “WAP” in the name refers to the “walk-around porch,” which is definitely a distinct feature. While the deck on this model isn’t quite as big as some we’ve seen on the aforementioned toy haulers or popular destination models, it is still plenty spacious. It also includes a set of three outdoor stools and a bar, which only adds to the appeal. A pass-through window makes it easy to send food and drinks in and out of the RV’s kitchen, turning the area into an indoor/outdoor space that has to be seen to be believed. The covered porch even includes mood-setting LED lighting and an outdoor sound system to further enhance the experience.
You’ll find a number of pleasant surprises inside the travel trailer as well, starting with a well-equipped kitchen that includes a three-burner stove, an oven, microwave, double-basin sink, and residential refrigerator/freezer. The nearby living room features theater seating, a moveable ottoman with a hidden pop-up table, a large smart TV, and a fireplace. A Murphy bed also folds down from the wall, adding extra sleep space for guests.

Wander further back, and you’ll discover a massive bathroom that includes a factory-installed washer/dryer combo unit, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with wooden bench, and a porcelain toilet. Finally, the primary bedroom at the front of the trailer has a queen-size bed, lots of storage, and a private entrance/exit. It all comes together to create a very livable space that’s perfect for couples, small families, road warriors, and full-timers.

Of course, we can describe all of these features for you, but nothing beats seeing them for yourself. Hit play on the video above to take the walkthrough so you can see the Dutchman Aspen Trail 3200WAP for yourself. Then, head over to dutchmen.com to find out more about this exciting new towable.

The Alpine & Alpine Avalanche Four Season Fifth Wheels
When you want to live the RV life, the change of seasons can get in the way. But not with Poulsbo RVs newest Keystones: the Alpine and the Alpine Avalanche. These Fifth Wheels are ready to travel the world wherever and whenever you are.
The Keystone Alpine
The Alpine is an embodiment of contemporary design and unparalleled innovation, where luxury meets cutting-edge technology to create an experience that is as fresh as it is unforgettable. With sleek lines, smart features, and ultimate-luxury amenities standard, Alpine Fifth wheels are an *excellent* choice for the four-season RV lifestyle.
One of the most striking features? The Keystone Wide Body 100” construction. The inside *feels big* and the carefully placed windows provide light and air rare in any RV!
Then there are all the innovative options! These include the one-touch six-point level-up system to provide camping ease. The full body paint protects MAX TURN high-gloss fiber glass front cap. With an impressive list of industry-leading advancements including features such as SolarFlex™ high-quality RV solar energy systems, Equa-Flex suspension, Therma-Shield holding tank protection system, Heated and enclosed underbelly, Astro foil reflective layer on roof, front and rear walls, and Insulation in the floor wrapped in Darco protective fabric, and more–Alpine sets the bar for four-season living.

The Keystone Alpine Avalanche Edition
The Avalanche Edition of the Keystone Alpine has the same bones as its sibling: the same Wide Body construction and spacious interior, the same SolarFlex™ system, the same Polar Pack for four-season living, and the same Residential kitchen and Theater-system living room with the plushest of seating and a 4K 65” television. Even the bathrooms in all Alpines are Residential and equipped with tankless heaters!
Bunkhouse versions have sleeping space for as many as 9. Couples double-bedroom suites both have full en suite baths. *ALL* Alpines are built for full-on, five-star hotel luxury.
So what makes an Avalanche different? A slightly shorter floorplan and a lower price. That’s all. So if you feel uncomfortable towing a longer fifth wheel (or if your budget needs a little more leeway) then the Avalanche is how you can have the full Alpine experience without any downsides.

The Arcadia Fifth Wheel
Just in time for Spring daydreaming! As the days get colder and grayer, and the sun sets before we even get home, we’ve brought on the spring! With the Keystone Arcadia line, you can start your Spring planning now!
The Arcadia Fifth Wheel line is our newest Keystone, including the Super Lite and the ultra-affordable Arcadia Select.
Arcadia’s philosophy is simple: no matter the floorplan, the fundamentals remain the same. These stunning Super Lite models offer Arcadia’s signature, but in lighter, easy-to-tow lengths. It’s a new approach for RVs in this weight class, and we think you’re going to love it.
Let’s start with their Keystone weathertight build. Keystone tests *ALL* its RVs in their cold chamber, certifying them down to 0° F. So you can start the RVing season early, and end it late. It’s all part of their Peak Weather Protection Package, which includes:
· 35,000 BTUs high output furnace
· Fully enclosed, insulated holding tanks with 12V heat pads
· Reflective insulation in floor, roof, and front wall
· Electric fireplace with 5,100BTU of heat
· BladePure™ High Performance ducting with Merv-9 filter
· Heated Pass-Thru storage
· Nautilus Water Management System
There there’s the floor. The high-performance, water resistant floor.
Stronger, lighter and more resilient than traditional wood laminated flooring, Keystone’s exclusive HyperDeck™ is an excellent example of how the Keystone Innovation Lab challenges industry norms to build better RV’s. By its nature, traditional wood floor construction presents the possibility of taking on water, key for RV owners who need to remain vigilant to keep moisture out of their coaches. Hyperdeck replaces wood with 100% inorganic materials, designed to resist water and water damage.

The presence of a Girard Tankless Water Heater is a luxury for some, but it’s the sort that quickly turns into a necessity. The advantages include:
- 42,000 BTUs provides the optimum performance for an RV’s plumbing
- No special LP gas lines or special plumbing required
- Quiet, brushless motor
- 12V power operates at less than 3 AMPs
- Freeze protection enables reliable winter use
- Designed specifically for recreational vehicles
- Compact design – fits in any tank water heater cut-out opening
Add in the impossibly versatile, exceptionally designed, SolarFlex Solar Energy and you have a system that’s shattering customers’ expectations of factory solar power. SolarFlex™ eliminates the guesswork, delivering affordable, high-quality RV solar energy systems.

Finally — and perhaps best of all – is the Curt ARV pin box. With its unique pivoting pin design, Arcadia’s ARV pin box minimizes fore-to-aft chucking for safer towing. Flexible, rubberized grommets at all attachment points reduce vibration by 50%, eliminating wear and tear on your RV.

As for the Interior, take a look for yourself. Whether it’s the Arcadia Super-Lite or the Arcadia Select, you’ll find beautiful, well-built interiors with plenty of high-end amenities. Easy to tow, easy to enjoy, this might be the perfect Fifth Wheel for you. Come in and take a look for yourself.
The Reign Travel Trailer
The Reign is an all-new, ergonomically designed, premium single-axle travel trailer, built to elevate your camping experience with its compact layout and impressive features.
To start with, the body and skin of the Reign is a brilliant new design: the outer layer is an exclusive automotive-finished laminate of sheet of aluminum. That’s where much of the lightweight, wood-less structure comes from. No wood? That means no rot is even possible.
No Aluminum studs? One of the big advantages of this type of build is that it’s both strong and light, much like traditional Azdel-style laminated walls. But the aluminum studs are a poor insulator so there are times you can literally “see” them if the temperature is just right.
So, not only is this a strong built but there are fewer thermal losses.
The unique wall construction is built on a B-A-L frame. The significance of that is that these frames are bolted together with huck bolts rather than being welded. These frames are stronger and more watertight.
Then there’s the ride. Equipped with Dexter’s Torflex® torsion axles, campers will appreciate a smoother ride, minimizing road shock and vehicle damage over time.
Inside the Reign
If you like that sleek, clean European RV style, you are going to love the interior of the Reign. It’s bright and cozy, and the 78″ interior height will give you plenty of space to move about.
You will also enjoy the ultrabright LED light strip and solid surface countertops in the kitchen, along with a large 12-volt refrigerator. A two-burner cooktop and air fryer/convection microwave will let you cook meals each day, and there is a huge countertop plus a flip-up extension for even more prep space. The fireplace is sure to make your RV feel like home!
The flip-down Murphy Bed will complete your day easily, while leaving plenty of space during the day.
Reign Interior Features
If you’re looking for a camper that will last, provide clean interior and exterior style, and offers Keystone’s quality build and features, come in or call, and ask us more. We’ll be glad to talk about the Reign all day.
