Low weight, low profile, low center of gravity, low drag.
Tent trailers that were sizeable enough to accommodate a couple were just too heavy, too bulky and didn’t have any style. What was available required some set-up time that can sometimes be inconvenient. The end result of these choices were functional but not representative of the ultimate freedom that we were in search of.
Necessity being the mother of invention, we put our creative ideas to work in metal, composites, a little advanced mechanical technology and knowledge of ultralight aircraft. And ultimately, ScarabRV was born as a very low weight, low drag, low center of gravity, low profile feature packed automatic pop-up tent trailer.
Now our travels combine all the conveniences we could ask for. An ultralight towable recreational vehicle that we pull behind our Harley cruising motorcycle or attach to the back of our Prius (or virtually any sub-compact car) with little indication of anything being in tow. Check your vehicle specifications to verify limitations set by manufacturers for towing.
The independent air shock suspension, the extremely low weight and the finely tuned center of gravity makes the ScarabRV a pleasure to take along. The storage compartments provide about 20 cubic feet of capacity for sleeping bags, fishing gear, cook stoves and other conveniences. The front storage compartment is easily accessed for beverages or other gear. Your tent automatically opens and closes with the touch of a key fob button. In about 30 seconds, the wings open and the tent inflates, ready to shelter you from the elements. If you’ve ever been out on the plains on a late afternoon, or in big sky country you know the value of finding quick shelter.
ScarabRV represents a new era in Recreational Vehicles. We strive to make our product the best representative of green technology and we will continue to improve wherever we find the opportunity to make a great product even better.
