Karoo Adventure Camper is a new type of camping trailer (or caravan) that is exceptionally lightweight compared to traditional motorhomes and trailers: only 750 kg. Thanks to its modularity, it can adapt to various needs: adventurers can adapt the trailer’s facilities for sleeping, cooking, and relaxing according to the requirements of their journey.

In addition to the light weight, the air resistance of the Karoo Adventure is only about half that of a traditional trailer, which significantly reduces the consumption of both electric and combustion-engine cars.

The Karoo sits on a single-axle chassis and is just 5 meters (16.4 feet) long (including the trailer tongue), 2.05 meters (6.7 feet) wide, and 2.16 meters (7 feet) high. It offers standing height inside and, despite the very compact footprint, all the creature comforts of a proper home.

The trailer hides a 6kWh battery in the floor and roof-mounted solar cells of an unspecified capacity. In the inside t the front is the bathroom with a shower, a cassette toilet, and a clothes rack. Presumably, it’s a wet bath, which makes the choice to put in storage for clothes a rather odd one. A short documentary film about the making of Karoo Adventure Camper prototype number 1.

The rear of the cabin is taken up by a bench for two. Next to it is the kitchen, which is halfway in and halfway out. Renders show the cooking module sliding outside of the trailer frame when it’s time to prep meals and then tucking into the space of the bathroom in travel mode. Available now for pre-order, priced from $32,383 USD, with deliveries beginning in 2026.
