1. Polydrops
Modern, hip design of Polydrops
If you’re wanting the functionality of a traditional small trailer but with a totally modern look and maybe even a slight spaceship vibe, you’re sure to be as intrigued by Polydrops of Alhambra, CA, as we are. Polydrop states: “This isn’t a camping trailer. It’s your own space that you can travel with.”
While it doesn’t have a bathroom, we love the LED lights, gull-wing doors, and the convenient USB outlets, as well as knowing the Polydrop has hydraulic disc brakes. There’s a galley with 2 storage drawers, a cabinet to hold electronic devices and a solar charger. The thick wall insulation (up to 8.2”) and aluminum exterior ensures you’ll be warm during the winter months.
