Colorado-based, these 'Vintage Overland Trailers' are [small and compact](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specops-crashpad-camper), providing just the right amount of room while remaining extremely light. These 600-700 pound trailers can be pulled by almost any vehicle, not just a 4x4 power truck. The axles and tires allow this trailer to be hauled [off-road](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stockman-rover-02) getting adventurers to wherever in nature they want to call home. Of the three models, the biggest contains a queen bed and a writing desk. By no means "luxurious," the locally sourced camping trailers don't have electricity, but solar panel-equipped versions are coming. Perfect for those looking to get away for awhile, the Vintage Overland is a great investment for those wanting to travel in their country's own backyard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Compact Camping Trailers:** The trend towards small, lightweight camping trailers that can be towed by almost any vehicle presents an opportunity for manufacturers to create more comfortable, affordable and eco-friendly camping solutions. - **Off-grid Travel:** The rise in popularity of camping trailers that don't rely on grid electricity presents an opportunity for innovative companies to create eco-friendly, energy-independent solutions for off-grid travel. - **Remote Work and Travel:** The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in remote work and travel, and compact camping trailers provide a cost-effective and flexible solution for individuals and families who want to explore the country while working remotely. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Camping and Outdoor Recreation:** The camping and outdoor recreation industry can capitalize on the compact camping trailer trend by offering eco-friendly and affordable solutions that cater to different consumer needs and preferences. - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can develop smaller and more efficient vehicles that are well-suited for towing lightweight camping trailers, creating opportunities for eco-friendly and cost-effective transportation solutions. - **Sustainable Energy Industry:** The sustainable energy industry can play a key role in the development of solar panel-equipped camping trailers that allow adventurers to travel off-grid and enjoy nature without relying on traditional sources of energy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxuriously Appointed Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume-caravan.md) - [Architectural Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyview-camper.md) - [Compact Three-Person Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-caravan-camper.md) - [Minimalist Modular Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cedar-ridge-campers-deneb.md) - [Capacious Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capacious-camping-trailers.md) - [Eco Electric Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorado-teardrops-electric-classic.md) - [Feature-Rich Overlanding Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sasquatch-expedition-campers-highland-60.md) - [Capaciously Compact Teardrop Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teardrop-trailer251.md) - [Open-Concept Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brs-offroad-pursuit-carbon.md)
