It is notably an affordable option and made with efficient formations, allowing users to customize it to their needs. One of the defining components of the HIghway Lite is the subtle shell as the interior is more of a blank canvas that can be filled with personal requirements dependent on the user -- buyers have a full range to spec up the interiors. It is made up of aluminum tubes and the classic [aluminum-skinned wood frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highland-60-offroad-camper-trailer) by the company. The silhouette has a curved roofline that is closer described as a square drop -- the rear area has two floating tailgate galley shelves for fully open floor space.
