Keystone RV has introduced the Coleman 13S travel trailer for the 2027 model year. The 4.8-meter-long, single-axle trailer has a curb weight of about 1,260 kg and can be towed by a standard SUV without a special license. Prices in the US range from $13,000 to $20,000 depending on trim, comparable to a new Skoda Fabia. Inside, it sleeps four: a fold-out sofa, a drop-down single bunk, a corner double bed, a compact kitchen with an induction hob, microwave and fridge, and a bathroom with shower and toilet. Experts note the bathroom is cramped for a tall adult. Standard equipment includes an electric fireplace, air conditioning, a tankless water heater, two electric awnings with LED lights, and solar panel prep. Fresh water tank capacity is 106 liters; gray and black water tanks hold 129 and 68 liters respectively. The trailer is not sold in Europe.

The structure weighs 270 kg, allowing it to be towed by vehicles with low towing capacity, such as the Škoda Fabia 1.0 MPI. The base price starts at 127,050 Czech crowns, and due to its low weight, the product does not require an additional technical inspection.

Caravanbox from Želechovice nad Dřevnicí has introduced the Coyot GT living module, which mounts onto a standard flatbed trailer. Weighing 270 kg, the module has no chassis and does not require periodic technical inspection because it is legally classified as cargo.

It sleeps two adults and one to two children, includes an external kitchen, but lacks a toilet, shower, and heating.
