Small trailers usually ask owners to give something up. The Serenova 160LG, by Grand Design, takes a different path, fitting a queen bed, dry bath, big dinette, and garage-style storage into a body that’s only 20 feet and 2 inches long!
For campers who want glamping comfort without a heavy tow load, this layout stands out fast.
In the video at the end of this post from Laura, That RV Girl, we see why the 160LG feels closer to a compact penthouse than a basic small trailer.
The exterior brings style and smart setup
The first impression is strong. The Serenova 160LG uses an aluminum cage, acrylic pop-out windows, and an automotive-grade front windshield, so it looks more upscale than most small trailers. A clean strip light above the front cap adds to that polished feel.
A few exterior details stand out right away:
- The BAL® leveling system lets campers run each jack on its own or extend and retract them together.
- The propane cover lifts off for tank access and stays in place with rubber latches.
- Independent suspension adds another upscale touch to the running gear.
Storage is where this trailer separates itself. A small side compartment near the front door handles quick-grab gear, but the rear garage is the headline feature. It has tough flooring, dual access points, an LP quick connect, and a light-duty receiver hitch for cargo like a bike rack. The indoor/outdoor table even gets its own storage track.
The inside makes the 20-foot layout feel bigger
At 4,436 pounds UVW and 5,400 pounds GVWR, the Serenova stays light for many half-ton trucks and some properly equipped SUVs.
Inside, the entry door does more than open and close. It adds cubbies, netted storage, hooks, and a window with its own shade. Up front, the U-shaped dinette is the best seat in the trailer. Windows wrap the whole space, while the built-in screens and blinds switch the mood from open-air lounge to private sleeping area in seconds.
That front lounge also works hard. It gets standard outlets, USB ports, USB-C ports, wraparound counter ledges, accent lighting, soft-close European-style cabinetry, and a swivel TV.
The table drops with a simple pull-cord setup, so the dinette can sleep extra guests, such as two kids or one adult.
Nearby, the Compass Connect panel handles the awning, tank heaters, water pump, lights, and tank checks, while a Bluetooth sound system and Maxxair fan round out the living area.
Kitchen, bedroom, and bath details seal the deal
The kitchen makes good use of every inch. It includes a double-door fridge, drawer freezer, Greystone cooktop, convection microwave, treated stainless sink, drying rack, telescoping faucet, soap dispenser, and a pop-up charging station. Counter space is generous for a trailer this short, so it feels coffee-bar approved.
In the rear, the 60″x80″ queen bed sits under more cabinetry, open corner shelves with rails, wide window coverage, reading lights, and a second TV. Two drawers sit at the bed base, and an interior hatch reaches the rear storage compartment.
The bathroom keeps the momentum going because it’s a dry bath. It has a shower with skylight and retractable door, a foot-flush toilet, a pull-down sink, a medicine cabinet, extra shelving, a roof vent, and an on-demand water heater.
Final thoughts
The Serenova 160LG works because it doesn’t feel stripped down. It feels carefully packed, with the right mix of comfort, storage, and tow-friendly size.
For shoppers who want a compact trailer without giving up a queen bed, dry bath, or upscale finish, this one makes a strong case.

I loved it, until I saw $64K!
I could get a used Class “A” for that price.
Oh Well…..
You could, but who wants a used Class A these days? This is a luxury trailer and far less expensive than other luxury brands like say, Airstream.
