Overview
Utah-based Addax Outdoors has released the V3.0 update of its Basecamp micro camper trailer. Originally launched at SEMA 2022 as a Jeep-branded overland trailer, the Basecamp V3 carries forward the same ultra-rugged, lightweight design that earned it a Trail-Rated endorsement from Jeep North America.
Construction and Durability
The Basecamp V3 is built on a 3/16-inch steel chassis with twin torsion axles and rides on 29-inch deep-lug tires. Despite its compact size—just under 10 feet in total length with a 6-foot body—the trailer is engineered to follow Jeep Trail-Rated 4x4s through technical terrain. Addax has kept the steel-on-steel construction intact while refining the trailer's layout and features.
Camping Features and Layout
The V3 update expands the slide-out kitchen to 7 feet with dedicated work space and an expandable sink basin. A slide-out 53-liter fridge is integrated into the front of the unit. The rooftop tent has been upgraded to a large Centori expandable hardshell that sleeps up to four people. Interior storage uses MOLLE panels throughout, and the two-part tailgate provides wide cargo access. An electrical panel now has a dedicated compartment for easier access.
Pricing and Availability
The Addax Basecamp V3 is available through dealerships with starting prices between approximately $18,000 and $19,000. The Jeep Branded Edition remains part of the 2026 lineup. Addax trailers and modular Gladiator camping shells are also offered directly through Mopar, Jeep's official parts division.
WOLFBOX Take: The Part Nobody Mentions Is Towing It
Everything that makes the Basecamp V3 great on the trail — the 3/16-inch steel chassis, the 29-inch tires, the hardshell rooftop tent — also makes it a handful behind you. A 10-foot trailer with a tent on top completely erases your rearview mirror, and following a Trail-Rated Jeep into technical terrain means reversing and repositioning it in exactly the tight, blind spots where that matters most. The trailer is the easy part; seeing it and placing it is the skill.
If you're speccing a rig around a trailer like this, plan for the view — not just the tow rating.
Tow and Camp Gear for a Trailer Build
- Tow without a blind tailgate. A WOLFBOX smart rearview mirror camera replaces the blocked glass mirror with a live feed from a rear camera mounted past the trailer, so you can actually see traffic behind your Basecamp on the highway and the two-track.
- Nail the hitch and the reverse. Backing a micro trailer into a tight campsite is where tempers flare. The 3-channel WOLFBOX G900TriPro (Bumper Version) adds a low, waterproof camera that helps you line up the coupler and see the ground as you maneuver.
- Keep the tow rig alive off-grid. A weekend of camp lights, a fridge and short trips is how a Jeep's battery ends up flat miles from a jump. A pocket WOLFBOX jump starter gets you moving again without waiting on another rig.
FAQ
What's new in the Addax Basecamp V3?
The V3 refresh expands the slide-out kitchen to 7 feet with an expandable sink, integrates a slide-out 53-liter fridge, upgrades to a large Centori hardshell rooftop tent that sleeps up to four, and adds MOLLE storage panels and a dedicated electrical compartment, all on the same rugged steel-on-steel chassis.
How much does the Addax Basecamp V3 cost and where can I get it?
Starting prices run roughly $18,000 to $19,000 through dealerships. The Jeep Branded Edition remains in the 2026 lineup, and Addax trailers and Gladiator camping shells are also offered through Mopar, Jeep's official parts division.
How do I see behind a camper trailer while towing?
A streaming mirror dash cam replaces your blocked glass mirror with a live feed from a rear camera mounted behind the trailer, restoring the rear view a camper or rooftop tent otherwise blocks.
How do I back a trailer into a tight campsite?
A dash cam with a low bumper or rear camera, such as the WOLFBOX G900TriPro Bumper Version, shows the coupler and the ground as you maneuver, making it easier to line up the hitch and reverse in tight spots.
