American company Mammoth Overland has just launched its latest premium off-road camper trailer with SKL. The trailer was first showcased at the 2025 Overland Expo West as the concept of the rooftop camper is made entirely from aluminum. There are no soft and canvas parts as the shelter is meant for those who lack storage space.
The construction imitates the convenience and comfort of a regular trailer but takes place on the rooftop. The SKL is made up of solid walls that are able to fold outward and back similar to an origami style. It is different from traditional tents on rooftops due to its material. It has a solid construction paired with an insulated shell and onboard power system .
