Description
We love tiny trailers here at the RV Atlas--and we always have. This year we wanted to do a roundup of the best tiny trailers on the market right now and highlight their best features and options. There are so many great companies making smaller trailers in 2024 and many of those companies have loyal followings and terrific reputations for quality and innovation.
We invited our longtime friend and RV Atlas podcast correspondent Casita Dean May onto the show to help us round up the best and the brightest small rigs on the market today. This will be a two-part series on the podcast and right here on the blog. So buckle up buttercup--these are our first 12 picks, with 12 more to come. We love the variety of options on display here--and we know you will too. So without further ado let's dive in to part one of our two part series.

Casita Dean May's Tiny Trailer Picks
The Aero Sellwood (Starting at $41,499)
It would be easy to mistake the Aero Sellwood for a vintage "canned ham" trailer from the 1950's or 1960's. It passes the vintage vibe check with flying colors. But this trailer (which weighs under 3k pounds dry) is made in Oregon right now and is packed with modern features and gorgeous of-the-moment design touches. There is a model with a spacious kitchen and no wet bath (that does have a cassette toilet) and there is a model (pictured above) with a smaller kitchen and a comfortable and attractive wet bath. Casita Dean May loves the wet bath floorpan (which adds 3k to the price)--but Jeremy loved the model with the larger kitchen. Both of them are drop dead gorgeous and worth taking a look at if you want a retro trailer with a high-quality build.
Safari Condo Alto R1723 (Starting at $32,739)

The Safari Condo Alto R1723 is one of the most unique travel trailers we have ever laid eyes upon. The retractable electric roof creates an incredibly aerodynamic shape that is easy to tow when in travel mode--and when in camping mode, the stunning windows fill the trailer with natural light. These stunning windows forge a direct connection to the natural world and provide panoramic views of the campsite around the coach. The frame, walls, and floor are made of aluminum and the dry weight clocks in at under 2k pounds--making this towable by a wide variety of SUVs. The bed is up front, and a seating area is in the rear--allowing one camper to stay up and read while the other sleeps in comfort.A toilet and shower are available midship--but the top of the shower is enclosed by a curtain. Certainly not a deal breaker for us. Every inch of this trailer feels fresh and innovative. We would love to take one camping.
Taxa Cricket (Starting at $30,331)
The Taxa Cricket doesn't have much in common with with most RV's--in fact we think of it as more of a camping machine or camping support system. Taxa calls the Cricket a "habitat" or an "adventure vehicle" and both of those work for us too. We love the open and airy feel created by the pop-up roof and we are also big fans of the front kitchen and its modular storage systems. A convertible dinette/bed is located in the back of the Cricket--with a rear cargo door that can be thrown open for fresh air--or for storing bikes and other gear for transport. The Cricket comes in a variety of ridiculously cool color options (Chocolate Chip Tropical Camo Wrap please!) and can be stored in a garage when not in use.
Nücamp Tab 400 (Prices Vary from 40K-55K)
nüCamp makes beautiful RV's with a reputation for style, comfort, and quality.
As the temperatures drop, many RVers are tucking their rigs away for the winter. But for a growing number of adventurous campers, winter RVing offers unique opportunities to explore serene landscapes, experience cozy camping, and embrace the quieter side of the camping season. In this week’s...
