Know your real range
Measure fuel use on a loaded trip. Plan stops from that mileage and keep a return reserve; towing range varies.

Setting up your trailer for road trips
Weigh your loaded Badger V1 and check tow vehicle limits. Plan fuel stops using measured towing mileage, with a reserve for detours.
Scout rough approaches and keep a safe exit. Settle into a permitted campsite with a kitchen and king-sized bed.
Pack for the miles. Plan for the detour.
Weigh the whole rig
Start with 2,000 lb dry and a 1,500 lb payload. Check towing, hitch and tongue-weight limits, brakes and lights; secure cargo low.
Scout the last few miles
Seventeen-inch clearance helps on rough roads. Scout obstacles, use a spotter when needed and keep a safe turnaround.
Keep a way out
Pack rated recovery gear and offline maps. The optional All Terrain Package adds recovery and fuel-carrying equipment; confirm fitment.
Make every stop camp
Pre-chill food, fill water and charge the battery. At camp, level up and check clearance before opening the tent and awning.

Road trip trailer FAQs
How many miles can I travel with the Badger V1?
There is no fixed trailer range. Your tow vehicle's usable fuel and measured mileage while towing set driving range; food, water and battery use determine time at camp. Plan refuel stops and keep a reserve for detours and the return trip.
How much will towing change my fuel mileage?
It varies with your tow vehicle, loaded weight, terrain, speed and weather. Measure mileage on a representative loaded trip before planning a remote stretch; do not budget from an unloaded vehicle's advertised figure.
How far off-road can the trailer go?
It has 17 inches of clearance, torsion-axle suspension and 29-inch tires, but no universal trail grade or distance guarantee. Your complete tow setup, road conditions, legal access and recovery plan determine what is appropriate.
Do I need the All Terrain Package for every road trip?
No. Match equipment to the route. Its articulating hitch, spare, fuel-carrying hardware and compressor are useful for more remote or uneven approaches; ask your dealer to confirm what your trip and tow vehicle require.
What should I do when I arrive at a secluded campsite?
Confirm camping is allowed, choose stable ground, level the trailer and check overhead clearance. Secure the awning for conditions, keep the exit clear and open the rooftop tent's king-sized bed only after travel gear is unloaded safely.
