Travel coast to coast (to coast!) in this RV built for extreme climates

Designed to resemble a Prairie cabin, the Escape Traveler is clad is cedar siding with steel accents. Plenty of energy-efficient, low-emissivity windows create a cool cross-breeze on steamy summer days and bring in plenty of natural light. Meanwhile, closed cell insulation keeps the trailer cool in the summer and toasty in the colder months.

The kitchen is equipped with a full-size range and refrigerator, small dining table and plenty of maple cabinetry. A couple open shelves above the sink can be used to store the most-used dishes or display artwork, and a black ladder leads to one of two loft beds in the trailer. The flooring throughout the space is oak laminate. (Fancy travellers with bigger budgets can upgrade to oak hardwood).

The living room couch converts into a double bed. The maple built-ins house a flat-screen television and a fireplace with thermostat. The trailer also features an LG split system A/C with heat pump or baseboard heating. We love how every nook and cranny is utilized in the living room! The foot-high space between the window panes and recessed ceiling turns into a makeshift bookshelf.

The bathroom here is more spacious than those in some Toronto apartments! For travellers looking to go off the grid, upgrade to the Separett Villa 9200 composting toilet.

Above the living room is another loft bed. Although the ceiling is low here, hopefully sleepers won’t feel too claustrophobic thanks to the windows.

The trailer weighs around 10,000-pounds and can be towed behind a standard pick-up truck. The base price is $66,000 USD and takes up to 60 days to build.
