I am a fan of off-grid trailers that move light and open up in all directions when camped. The new overland micro trailer from Addax is one such camping solution that thrives on the build quality and the success of the original Addax overland trailer designed for Jeep in 2022. The new guy is called the 2026 Basecamp V3 and is, as you’d expect from Addax, a robust and dependable trailer that rolls out with the option to install camping hardware when and where you need it.
Designed for adaptability in adventures with your Jeep, this co-branded trailer, by virtue of its construction, boasts military-grade toughness and typical off-roading ability. Jeep is synonymous with adventure. The owners of a Wrangler are those who live to push boundaries, and the Basecamp is one of the toughest, purpose-built outdoor trailers – designed to complement that lifestyle.
Designer: Addax
If you have been religiously following the coverage here on Yanko Design, you would have, from the frequency of our related coverage, figured out that heavy-duty expedition trailers are creating a market buzz. But the Addax Basecamp begs to differ from the crowd. Weighing 1800 pounds, the trailer features specialized suspension, tires, and chassis, specifically tailored for off-road travel and gear-hauling capacity. Thanks to its payload capacity of 1,450 lbs.
Jeep and Addax struck a partnership to share branding in the latter’s Gladiator trailer series. This collaboration also included Mopar for service and customer support. There’s still uncertainty if Basecamp is licensed under the partnership, but the branding definitely screams the obvious. Alongside the banding, 2026 Basecamp V3 features rugged construction, the company is famous for, including the steel-on-steel body, 3/16-inch steel chassis, and deep-lugged 29-inch tires.
The trailer with a 6 x 6-foot form factor has a 26-inch x 40-inch front removable deck for additional space. Talking of space, when docked, the camp with its pre-installed OVS 270-degree batwing awning and pull-outs can instantly create a livable basecamp at grounds beyond the campsites as well. The 22L water tank, a functional 7-foot pull-out kitchen with a sink and 53-liter sliding fridge, and four power outlets add to convenience.
The power support is managed by an onboard 100 amp-hour slimline battery. It can draw renewable power from an optional 220W solar panel and also comes with a 1500W inverter for backup. Addax, does not offer a sleeping area inside of the trailer, so an additional Centori Outdoors aluminum hard-shell rooftop tent comes preinstalled for sleeping arrangements. The incredibly feature-packed Basecamp is an embodiment of its name, which is further supported by both internal and external MOLLE panel shelves. The attachment points here also allow you to carry a range of accessories/gear you would want on the Jeep trip into the wilderness. Basecamp V3 in its barebones starts at $19,000.
