Here's a quick intro to our new trailer. I was going to wait to purchase one but a good deal came up and I decided to take advantage of it. I recently sold my Turtleback trailer. Great trailer, no complaints, we are building a new home and selling that trailer helped pay some bills.
I have spent the last 4 years in tents for all of my overlanding adventures. I do a lot of winter camping and decided sleeping indoors might be nice. I plan on returning to Baja this winter and the last time the winter winds were crazy.
So without further adieu here's my new VRV Flyer.
All aluminum frame, queen bed, Max air vent, torsion axle, large doors and windows. Lots of storage. Around 1000lbs. I opted for the 45 degree down axle for additional clearance.
I also think it is a DIYers dream platform. Purchase something that is well made and then decide what you want to add to it. Factory options include a tent for the back, different axle heights, electric brakes, AC/Heat Rooftop unit, and jeep style fenders.

The obligatory just picked up gas station pic.
Interior view. There are 4 led lights (split 2 and 2) Backup lights serve a porch lighting and there is a porch light by the side entry. A add-on tent for the rear is available. I am going to use what I already have and modify as required. Sorry that the mattress isn't setup properly. Queen size bed. I am installing a magnetic screen for the back so I can leave the backdoor open and keep the bugs out.
Side entry. Jeep fenders will be available/installed soon for additional clearance.
The electrical system is housed inside towards the front cabinetry underneath the bed. Trailer is solar ready with a SAE plug port. You need to have your own controller. Comes with a 75ah AGM battery. Total interior height is 56.5". 36" from top of mattress to the ceiling. With stock tires and stock axle with roof vent only (no shore power AC unit) this should fit in standard garages. They way I have modified it - it won't fit. That's ok for us though because our new house has 9' doors.
Couch mode and dog inspection
Bed mode. It's nice to have a place to throw random gear underneath the bed. (Photo courtesy of campersandgear.com)
Storage drawer with removable table top. (Photo courtesy of campersandgear.com)
On the trail near Box Canyon Florence, AZ
First Round Of Modifications
Larger Tires - Add additional clearance and meant for off-road
Tongue Box and Lock-n-Roll Hitch. I need to install new 7 pin wiring since I extended the tongue. It's on the todo list.
If anyone is in AZ and wants to take a look just let me know. See you on the trail!
Future Mods
- Solar panel on the roof
- Design and build a basic roof rack for the spare tire and misc gear
- Install a straight awning to cover the side door and include a add-a-room tent
- Slide out kitchen
- Install Jeep Style Fenders
- Install solar controller
- Add some rear corner protection for more challenging trail use
- Possibly install an inverter there is plenty of room in the electrical area for a 2nd battery and other accessories.
- Possibly install a shore power charger (I have a portable CTEK but built in would be nice)
- Possibly add a water tank
