While Tentrax could be listed under Tent Trailers, we've kept it in the Overland Category since it's primarily an off-road trailer that happens to have a tent attached.
These lightweight, small trailers are great for one or two people, but are a little small for family use. The stock capacity of 35 cubic feet is hindered by the tent & bed, but there still is space for some gear. This is a great solution for those that pack light and are always on the go.
