The Fortress Explorer Camping Trailer is an agile piece of equipment from the New Zealand-based Fortress Trailers that puts a hyper-durable design in the spotlight to easily withstand any adventure.
The trailer is constructed on a dual-axle trailer and boasts aluminum panels finished with anti-scratch paint to prioritize lightweight rigidity. The chassis keeps a galvanized foundation that has been hot-dipped to prioritize durability. The unit has a slide-out kitchen with ample storage space throughout and also hides advanced electrical components to offer access to a 100Ah battery with a 1,000W inverter and a solar panel setup.
The Fortress Explorer Camping Trailer comes with supplementary stairs that maximize ease of access to the rooftop tent. Priced starting at $24,350, the trailer is ripe for customization.
