Arkto Campers is set to change the landscape of outdoor exploration with the introduction of its newest product, the C10 Overland Trailer. Launched on March 18, 2025, in Edmonton, Alberta, this compact and lightweight camper promises to enhance accessibility to backcountry adventures without sacrificing comfort or rugged capabilities.
Positioned as a smaller alternative to its popular G12 model, the C10 is tailored for adventurers who drive smaller SUVs, including models like Jeep. "By reducing the weight and size of our flagship G12, we’ve created a trailer that’s not only easier to tow but also opens up the world of off-grid adventures to a wider range of vehicles," stated Aaron Nerenberg, Principal at Arkto Campers.
With a height of just 7 feet 4 inches, the C10 fits comfortably in most garages, appealing to urban adventurers and weekend campers alike. Despite its compact nature, it can accommodate up to three people, delivering a perfect blend of spaciousness and efficiency.
Some standout features that separate the C10 from the G12 include a reduction in curb weight by 900 pounds, resulting in a total weight of 2,750 lbs. This means the C10 can be towed by vehicles with a minimum capacity of 3,500 lbs. Furthermore, at two feet shorter and 13 inches narrower than its predecessor, it offers improved maneuverability on tight trails without compromising on interior comforts.
The C10 is equipped for adventure, featuring all-terrain capabilities thanks to its independent suspension and all-terrain tires. Additionally, its galvanized steel chassis ensures job durability in rough conditions. "Yet the C10 retains all the off-road capability and comfort our customers love, making it perfect for those who want the G12 experience without needing a larger tow vehicle," Nerenberg added.
Storage is another priority for the C10, ensuring ample room for all essential gear while keeping the interior spacious enough for standing room. Arkto's signature outdoor kitchen remains a highlight, boasting a 10 cubic-foot pantry, dual-burner stove, sink with hot and cold water, and even a mounted bar-style fridge/freezer with a 113-liter capacity.
The camper caters to adventure enthusiasts seeking convenience. "This is about empowering more people to explore farther and more easily, and we believe the C10 will be a game-changer for many adventurers," Nerenberg said, emphasizing the trailer's potential impact on outdoor exploration.
The C10's capabilities extend to its power systems as well, offering an impressive solar setup with up to 600 watts and 640 amp hours of lithium batteries. This allows adventurers the freedom to journey deeper into the wild for longer periods, making it an enticing option for those looking to disconnect and explore.
Scheduled for release in July 2025, the C10 will have a starting price of $64,000 CAD. Pre-orders are currently available through Arkto Campers' website or by direct inquiry at (780) 722-3822.

As the landscape of outdoor camping solutions continues to evolve, Arkto Campers is poised to lead the way. The introduction of the C10 is not just a product launch; it signifies a push towards making rugged adventures accessible to a broader audience, fostering a culture of exploration among diverse vehicle owners. The promise of combining practicality with adventure readiness could redefine how enthusiasts approach their outdoor journeys.
