2026 Driftwood CampersWren 17RB

If you have been eyeing a trailer but your tow vehicle is a midsize SUV or a small pickup, start here. The Wren 17RB weighs in under 2,900 pounds dry, rides on a single torsion axle and is barely longer than a parking space, which means you can actually back it into those tight, tree-lined sites at Tibble Fork without a spotter and a prayer.

It is built for two. A fixed short queen sits up front with a wardrobe and real under-bed storage, while the rear wet bath has a skylight that keeps it from feeling like a phone booth. The U-dinette between them drops into a lounging spot for rainy afternoons, and the 12V compressor fridge is quiet enough that you will forget it is running.

The 190-watt solar panel and lithium-ready converter make it a natural boondocker. Add a battery upgrade in our service bay and a long weekend off-grid near Strawberry Reservoir is no problem. For the price of a nice used SUV, you get a place to sleep anywhere the pavement ends.
