The trend of travel trailers in 2025 is shifting toward more versatile and self-sufficient designs, and Michigan-based Kingstar’s Kruzr K180 overland trailer is a prime example. This compact but rugged trailer integrates a hidden lower-level storage space that can be accessed from inside, making it a practical choice for those who need to haul gear, motorcycles, or other adventure equipment. Unlike conventional toy haulers, the Kruzr K180 manages to combine this feature without compromising on its living space.
A unique storage concept with interior access
Set to debut at the 2025 Florida RV SuperShow, the Kruzr K180 stands out with its front undersection storage area, designed primarily for motorcycles or other adventure gear. Instead of a side entry like most trailers, it features a passthrough in the open floor that leads into this enclosed compartment. This lower-level space is not just for storage—it has finished walls, opening windows, and curtains, making it suitable as a secondary sleeping area or an additional private living space. The compartment also has its own independent access to the outside, enhancing its functionality.
Durable exterior for rugged use
The Kruzr K180’s exterior is built for durability with a metal body, stainless-steel roof, and composite walls. This construction ensures longevity while keeping the weight manageable. The absence of a side entry gives the trailer a more streamlined look, while the rear access allows for a more spacious and practical interior layout.
Designed for off-road adventures, the trailer rides on independent air suspension, which helps smooth out rough terrain. This makes it suitable for overlanders looking to venture beyond paved roads without sacrificing comfort.
Comfortable and functional interior
Inside, the Kruzr K180 is designed to make the most of its 21-foot length. The main sleeping area is positioned on a raised platform, creating a cozy but functional space. The kitchen is well-equipped, featuring a cookstove, microwave oven, sink, and storage compartments for essentials. While compact, the bathroom includes a cassette toilet, shower, and wash area, making it a fully self-contained trailer.
One of the trailer’s most flexible features is the dinette and couch setup, which can be converted into a bunk bed or a home office space as needed. This adaptability ensures that the trailer can cater to different travel needs, whether it’s a weekend camping trip or long-term off-grid living.
Off-grid capabilities and pricing
To support off-grid adventures, the Kruzr K180 comes with a 400-watt solar panel and a 460Ah battery. These features allow travelers to remain independent from power hookups, making the trailer ideal for boondocking. An outdoor shower is also included, further adding to its self-sufficiency.
For those looking for additional upgrades, extra solar power, expanded battery capacity, more storage, and awnings can be added at an extra cost. The starting price of the Kruzr K180 is $68,000, with the final cost depending on selected upgrades and customizations.
With its hidden passthrough garage, rugged build, and off-grid capabilities, the Kingstar Kruzr K180 is a strong option for travelers who need both functionality and comfort in an overland trailer.
