Rugged camper for bold explorers
There’s a world out there begging for discovery. For the fearless adventurer looking to push beyond city limits, the LittleGiant CrashPad stands ready—solid as steel, streamlined for speed, and fiercely independent wherever the road leads.
The All-in-One Adventure Companion
When night falls miles from home, finding a quick and comfortable retreat shouldn’t be a gamble. That’s why the LittleGiant CrashPad isn’t just another piece of gear—it’s a complete camping trailer system that merges cargo utility with rapid setup. Built to handle unexpected turns and offbeat paths, this trailer-camper combination offers the agility of a standard pickup bed and the protection of a hard shell cover, sheltering precious cargo while taking on rugged terrain.
Quick Setup, Big Rewards
Open the hatch, lift the hard shell tonneau cover, and attach the CrashPad tent with heavy-duty Velcro—no extra tools or complicated steps required. In minutes, there’s a dedicated sleeping deck suspended above a basement for stashing gear. By the time the sun’s setting, the LittleGiant CrashPad is ready for an evening of rest in the great outdoors.
Engineered for the Bold
This trailer is about more than just convenience. With a tough galvanized steel frame, independent torsion axle suspension, and a generous 1,500-pound payload capacity, the LittleGiant CrashPad dares you to load it up. Its polypropylene HexCap™ Hard Shell Tonneau Cover is ultra-light and weatherproof, keeping the interior cool in the heat and dry when the weather turns sour. Lockable latches (locks not included) add security, so valuable equipment stays safe whether parked at a crowded festival or left off-grid for the day.
Weatherproof & Durable
From the 185-denier polyester cordura tent fabric—coated for a 2,000mm waterproof rating—to the rigid composite lid, this setup holds firm against wind and rain. The cover’s domed shape provides extra headroom, staying comfortable when you’re ready to rest. No matter the forecast, the LittleGiant CrashPad refuses to let the elements ruin the journey.
Smart Design, Inside and Out
Two-Tier Interior
Inside, the CrashPad design offers a basement level for storing bulky gear and an upper deck for stretching out at night. By day, the deck can be folded and stowed, freeing up space to load bikes, tools, or luggage. Modular steel beams snap into the trailer’s sidewalls to support the deck—rated up to 400 pounds—ensuring both sleeping and storage configurations are rock solid.
Transformable Tailgate
A few thoughtful additions to the end gate make all the difference. Hinges, support cables, and an upholstered foam pad create a comfortable bench for resting, swapping out boots, or supervising the campsite. If the day’s schedule calls for a work surface, reposition the tailgate as a side table. The result? A 54-by-24-inch stable platform for gear, maps, or a quick activity station.
Built to Roam
Weighing in at just 590 pounds (empty), the LittleGiant CrashPad is nimble enough for practically any vehicle—be it a full-size SUV or a compact crossover with a taste for adventure. Thirteen-inch tires and a 15-inch ground clearance handle rough roads, dirt trails, or that stretch of rocky desert cutting off the next horizon.
Hitch & Go
The standard 2-inch A-frame coupler keeps towing stable and straightforward. With its swivel jack and stabilizer jacks, shifting from tow-mode to camp-mode is effortless, whether at a lakeside retreat or halfway up a narrow mountain pass.
