If you want an adventure at the deep end of nature, an off-road trailer is a perfect companion.
Think about it – an adventure trailer allows you to get further off-grid, explore areas you might not otherwise be able to see, and gives you a comfortable base camp from which you can explore even more.
Sounds nice, right?!
There are loads of trailers out there billed as having off-road capabilities, but that doesn’t mean they’re all made alike. In fact, only a few stand out among the competition as being rugged enough to handle the tough stuff. One of those trailers comes from Beaver Built.
Today’s article introduces you to Beaver Built trailers so you can see just how well-equipped they are for your off-road, backcountry adventures.

Beaver Built Trailers are Off-Road Ready

Going to where no one has gone is the biggest dream of campers in nature. If you like an adventurous holiday, Beaver Built has a camping trailer for you!
It doesn’t matter if it’s the forest, the plains, or the seaside. Beaver Built has produced a piece of equipment that will never let you down because it’s suitable for all kinds of terrain and conditions.

Beaver Built constructs trailers with 19.5” ground clearance on 31” Yokohama tires on Vision wheels to ensure off-road worthiness. If you upgrade to the optional 33” tires, your trailer will have a 20.5” ground clearance. It also comes standard with the Cruisemaster CRS² suspension to make the towing experience on rugged terrain as smooth as possible.
Additionally, the trailer offers a 37-degree departure angle with the standard wheel and tire package. With the upgraded 33” tires, the departure angle increases to 40 degrees.
If that set of off-road features doesn’t get you to where you want to go, nothing will!
Beaver Built Trailers are Compact and Lightweight

These trailers are so light that you can use pretty much anything to tow one, even a small SUV or compact truck.
The total dry weight is just 1050 lbs, with a tongue weight of 150 lbs. Your vehicle won’t even notice a trailer that light! Even fully loaded with gear (the GVWR is 3527 lbs), this trailer is feather-light and towable by most vehicles.

Don’t worry; this Beaver Built trailer has compact dimensions, too. The overall length is 144,” and it’s just 79.75” wide. This makes these trailers easy to tow on narrow trails and around hairpin curves.
In fact, these trailers are so compact and lightweight it’s hard to believe that Beaver Built stuffed so many features and amenities inside, yet, that’s precisely what they’ve done!
You Can Add a Full Kitchen to a Beaver Built Trailer

Along with other optional extras, you can add a Kitchen Management System and Kitchen Drawer Pull-Out to your Beaver Built trailer. Together, they create a full kitchen with everything you need to whip up awesome camping meals.
The Kitchen Management System can be added to the passenger side box and comes with a 22” pull-out stove. It has two large drawers to store most of your kitchen equipment and a thin drawer for your cooking utensils.

If you choose to add the Kitchen Drawer Pull-Out, you will need to add the front box option, but you’ll also have a place at the front of the trailer for your cooler or fridge. It is essentially a drawer on heavy-duty lock-in lock-out slides that can accommodate a 75-liter fridge. It also comes with a utensil drawer and a food-grade stainless steel countertop.
In other words, trailers this small and lightweight typically don’t have kitchen facilities like this. Yet, Beaver Built trailers do. This speaks not just to the ingenuity of the folks at Beaver Built but also to their dedication to delivering the most functional products to their customers.
Beaver Built Trailers Can Be Loaded Up With Storage Space

One of the biggest reasons you would take an off-road trailer with you is the storage space they offer. Beaver Built already does great in this department with its 43.2 cubic feet overall storage in its standard trailers. But you can still add many options to improve your storage space.
For example, you can add a pair of side boxes on both sides of the trailer with a storage capacity of 227 liters, or 8 cubic feet. These boxes come with tailgate-style doors that you can use for additional countertop space. The top of these side boxes is covered with anti-slip textured powder-coated aluminum for your safety when you climb on top of your trailer to access gear or your rooftop tent.

You can also add a rear drawer that can hold up to 600 lbs of gear and a front box with locking doors on each side. The rear drawer also has a storage deck that can be used for larger items.
The best thing about these options is that they are all bolt-on. This means that your Beaver Built trailer comes ready for these and other options to be added as needed. Start with a basic trailer, and as your needs change over time, customize it as you go!

Investing in a trailer is a big deal. Not only is there the monetary output to consider, but you also have to consider how you’ll use the trailer and how it will be useful to you in the coming years.
With Beaver Built, you get a well-built, beautifully-designed trailer with unparalleled off-road capabilities. But you also get a customizable rig to meet your changing needs over time. That feature alone is worth the price of admission!
