This humble trailer is the TARDIS of campers – even has a bath and full-sized kitchen
This 19.5-foot camping trailer packs a king-size bed, proper kitchen and wet bathroom into a surprisingly compact package
Quick Summary
The SylvanSport VIRE is a 19.5-foot travel trailer designed to fit a lot of home comforts into a relatively small space.
It has a 72 x 80-inch bed, full-height wet bathroom and a proper kitchen, with prices starting at $59,995 (around £45,000).
The SylvanSport VIRE isn't particularly glamorous from the outside but this fairly boxy 19.5-foot trailer has managed to squeeze in so much living space inside.
There's a U-shaped lounge at the front which converts into a 72 x 80-inch bed, that's the same dimensions as a king-size mattress. During the day, it gives you somewhere to eat or sit, while at night it becomes a useful sleeping area rather than the usual tiny RV bed.
The kitchen is compact but doesn't feel like an afterthought. There's a two-burner propane stove, sink with a fold-down tap and cutting-board cover, plenty of storage and a 12V fridge/freezer.
There's even a microwave/convection oven with air-fryer functions, although that's reserved for the more expensive VIRE Ultimate.
Next to it is something you don't always get in a trailer this size: a full-height wet bathroom. It has a shower, fold-down sink and cassette toilet, so you don't have to rely on campsite facilities every time nature calls.
The VIRE weighs 3,670lb (1,665kg) dry, which is another reason its relatively compact dimensions matter. It has a 40-gallon fresh-water tank, 44-gallon grey-water tank and enough payload capacity for 1,330lb of gear.
There are two versions. The standard VIRE starts at $59,995 (around £45,000), while the VIRE Ultimate costs $69,995 (around £52,500). The latter gets a much larger 833Ah battery system, 600W of solar, plus the microwave and TV.
Production slots are currently being offered for autumn 2026 and spring 2027, with a $1,000 deposit required to reserve one.
For something that looks fairly ordinary parked on a driveway, there's an impressive amount going on inside. The VIRE show that when it comes to camper design, sometimes the best way to create more space is to stop making things so streamlined.
