“The brand-new Stratus is the culmination of engineering, sales and production efforts, and I’m so proud of our team for making it happen,” said Aram Koltookian, president. “Stratus is resonating with younger RVers, who want lighter, greener products.”

There’s an element of playfulness and fun. Customers love all the clever storage opportunities: the cabinet end compartment, the hollow table, the bench and the corner seat, the headboard, the stow-and-go dinette storage bins … There’s even a doggie dish cubby and a handy wall-mount bottle opener that doubles as a doggie tie down.”

The Stratus SR261VRK is stacked with practical standard features, like mixed light and dark woodwork, a flip-up entry step, queen bed, walk-in pantry, deep stainless-steel under-mount sink with pull-down sprayer, drop-in cooktop with glass cover that extends counter space, and seamless solid surface countertops.

7Taxa Cricket

TAXA Outdoors manufactures mobile human habitats purposefully designed to inspire a journey toward nature. These habitats remind us that we are part of nature, not separate. Thus, the creation of Cricket.

The Cricket is an ultra-light-weight trailer designed for adventure at a moment’s notice. Assisted by our laser cut aluminum skeleton, Cricket weighs a mere 1,732 pounds. You won’t need a pickup to tow it, many four-cylinder tow vehicles will do just fine.

With a 21st century minimalist, quirky design, Cricket’s ample interior features may come as a surprise. In each Cricket there is enough underbed storage and sleeping space (a boat inspired berth below and suspended kids berths above) for a family. Additionally, Cricket features a kitchen, LED lighting, exterior shower, windows framing a panoramic view, and a pop-up roof for optimized ventilation. After your trip, Cricket fits perfectly into your garage awaiting its next adventure.
