At Overland Expo West, Denali Campers was one of the early booths we stopped by—and for good reason. They’re already part of the BaseCamper marketplace, but seeing their trailers in person gave us a chance to appreciate what sets them apart.
Denali says their strength is in the details: fully composite cabins built with advanced construction methods. No wood, no compromise on durability—just a streamlined build that’s both lightweight and tough enough for the backcountry.
Their XTR6 is built for those shorter weekend trips—no sleeping berth inside, but plenty of room for gear and rooftop tent options. The XTR10 goes bigger with an interior berth and a few more creature comforts for longer hauls. Both models showcase Denali’s innovative approach to materials and the rugged environments they’re designed to handle.
When we held their composite panel sample, it felt notably lighter than the typical aluminum or steel builds. Denali claims their composite construction stands up to the harshest environments—Utah slickrock, Baja washes, or just the long miles of washboard roads.
If you’re shopping in this category, it’s worth asking how Denali’s approach to materials stacks up. Are they really more durable, or just lighter? That’s what matters if you’re spending north of thirty grand for a trailer meant to keep up with your rig in tough country.
Denali’s team clearly takes pride in refining their designs and processes. That’s a good sign for anyone who wants something more than a cookie-cutter build. If you’re curious, check out their listings on BaseCamper to see if their engineering approach and rugged claims align with what you’re looking for.
