Escape Civilization. Wake up in the Wild.
Off Grid Trailers didn’t begin in a boardroom or with a plan to create another RV company. It began in a garage, with a passion for adventure and a problem familiar to many overlanders: the trailer its founder wanted simply didn’t exist.
In 2017, that frustration became a project. The goal was to build a trailer capable of following a tow vehicle beyond conventional campgrounds—something rugged enough for real backcountry travel, thoughtfully designed for off-grid use, and comfortable enough that getting farther away didn’t mean giving up everything that made camp feel like home.
The first Off Grid Trailers were built in a garage as a passion project. Then they hit the road. People noticed. Those early trailers attracted attention and sold, creating an opportunity to build another—and make it better. With each new trailer came subtle improvements to quality, functionality, and capability. What began as one adventurer building the product he couldn’t find in the marketplace gradually became Off Grid Trailers.

That same approach still influences the company today: build with purpose, use the product in the environments it was designed for, listen to the people taking it into the wild, and keep improving. Customer feedback has helped shape OGT’s designs from those earliest garage builds through to the models it produces today.
Those roots also explain why OGT’s values fit so naturally within the overlanding community. The company believes adventure should create a stronger connection with nature, and that the equipment enabling it should be durable, thoughtfully crafted, and capable of going well beyond the campground. Quality craftsmanship, accessible off-road adventure, customization and a passion for exploration remain central to how OGT approaches its trailers and its relationships with owners.
From remote forest service roads and mountain trails to desert heat and below-freezing Canadian winters, the environments OGT owners explore have become an extension of the company’s testing ground. That connection to the trail continues to influence everything from suspension and ground clearance to storage, heating, water, and electrical systems.
Today, that passion has grown into a Canadian manufacturer of premium off-road camping trailers built for vehicle-supported adventure across North America.
The result is a product philosophy built around durability, self-reliance and purposeful design.
Rather than recreating a traditional RV in a smaller package, OGT builds trailers around the needs of people who deliberately leave traditional campgrounds behind. All-metal construction, insulated cabins, substantial ground clearance, capable suspension systems, and functional outdoor living spaces are combined into compact platforms designed to follow capable tow vehicles into places conventional RVs simply aren’t intended to go.
Among the company’s lineup, the Expedition 3.0 remains perhaps the clearest expression of that philosophy. With its distinctive square-drop profile, all-metal construction, queen-sized sleeping cabin, integrated exterior galley, 31-gallon water capacity, and available OGT Evolution Series suspension, the Expedition balances backcountry capability with the comfort required to make extended travel practical.

But the hardware is only part of the story.
Over the years, OGT has developed a passionate community of owners—the OGT Pack—who continue to push their trailers into new terrain and new adventures. Their experiences, feedback, and stories have helped shape the brand and provide something prototyping can’t replicate: thousands of real-world miles behind tow vehicles throughout Canada and the United States.
That community Pack represents what Off Grid Trailers is about.
It’s less about collecting equipment and more about what that equipment allows people to experience: taking the family farther into the backcountry, setting up camp beside a remote lake, chasing a trail simply because it’s there, or sitting outside at the end of a long day knowing home came along for the ride.
OGT’s Canadian roots also influence its approach. Four-season capability isn’t treated as a marketing category when winter is part of everyday life. Building for changing temperatures, rough roads, and long distances is simply part of designing equipment for the environment our team and customers explore.
Today, Off Grid Trailers offers the Expedition, Pando, Sprocket and Switchback platforms, giving overlanders and off-road enthusiasts different ways to balance sleeping space, gear capacity, towability and off-grid capability. The models may differ, but the purpose hasn’t changed.
Build equipment people can depend on. Test it where customers go and beyond. Keep improving through experience. And give people the confidence to turn off the pavement, keep exploring and—if only for a while—Escape Civilization. Wake Up In The Wild.
