At first glance, this is genius! A pint-sized trailer, less than 4 feet high, that manages to include a wet bath with a stand-up shower. How is that possible? Actually, it’s surprisingly easy. It just took some creative thinking to make it happen.
The bathroom, you see, rides on the tongue of the trailer, folded down for travel, then easily raised at the campsite.
Encore RV calls it an adventure trailer, which it could be. But I think this would be great for a couple who wanted to get away for a weekend, or even a week, and stay in a primitive campground—BLM, Forest Service, or even in the middle of nowhere on government lands — to enjoy the outdoors and sleep protected from the weather, and have a private commode and a standard-sized shower to freshen up.
The new RŎG 12RK-FB and 12BH-FB models include a front-mounted bath module that rides on the trailer tongue and folds down when not needed. When closed, it resembles a storage box. Deployed, it becomes a wet bath with a shower and cassette toilet.
Bath module
The trailer is built on Encore’s lightweight RŎG platforms, aimed at campers who want off-grid capability without moving to a larger RV. The aluminum bath module uses a pop-up tent enclosure with screened windows for airflow and magnetic closures intended to simplify setup. Heat from the trailer’s 18,000-BTU furnace can warm the bath area during cooler weather.
The trailer carries 43 gallons of fresh water and includes an on-demand hot water system designed to support extended dry camping. When folded for travel, the top of the bath module doubles as cargo space and can carry gear or up to two bicycles.
Encore says the trailer uses wood-free construction with an all-aluminum frame and chassis to reduce weight and improve durability. The unloaded weight is about 2,800 pounds, with a low tongue weight intended to keep it towable by many midsize SUVs and trucks. The compact design also allows storage in most standard garages, potentially avoiding paying for storage.
The walk-around video below from Encore RV highlights the trailer’s compact footprint and the easy set up of the bathroom. You can learn more about the trailer at the company’s website.
Thank you for the information, Chuck. Interesting, but no pricing listed anywhere that I could find. No inventory of this model shown on RVTrader or dealer websites; apparently too new. Have a great week and safe travels!
Interesting product
Really ? Why not a pop top on the little camper instead?
I just spoke with Rich the owner of ROG about this trailer. He spent 20+ minutes answering my questions about the trailer, his design and options.
Was looking to buy an Intech Luna Rover HOWEVER those plans may have now changed!
