The trailer features a welded exoskeleton, independent suspension with 35-inch trailing arms, and a 31-inch Maxxis Razr tire setup. The US-spec model includes a 96-L dual-zone fridge, a 100-Ah lithium battery with a 120-W solar panel (upgradeable to 300 Ah), and a standard roof-mounted air conditioner.

The base price is $60,900 for a two-person configuration.

The Camp Tonneau Tent prototype is a folding hard cover that converts into a shelter using the truck bed as living space. It weighs 36–45 kg and sets up in 90 seconds.
