  We LOVE our G12!  We have found it extremely well designed and very well constructed. It has all the things we wanted, without all the fluff that we don’t.  My husband and I (and 2 dogs) primarily camp “off the grid” as a means to get away, reconnect with nature, explore, and travel.  The G12 has proven PERFECT for this.  We have owned one previous camper- a small pop up A-frame model that literally began falling apart within the first year of owning it.  The quality of construction of the Arkto has been refreshing.  Also, Aaron (the founder) has been extremely responsive to us with questions that we have had, and has gone the extra mile in making sure we know all the in’s and outs of the trailer.  I can’t recommend the Arkto G12 enough if you are looking for a tough off-grid camper that will get you outside.

  My family looked into a small, towable, camper for the simple reason of not wanting to sleep in a tent, or on the ground.  We spent two years looking and had some very negative interactions with other companies.  Arkto was the second company to make us feel like family.  We originally went with another company, but stumbled on Arkto (thanks Google), and they used superior products in their build.  Sheet metal vs plywood.  Not too mention Aaron is a rock star!  Always willing to give 110% to help out, or answer questions.  We are going on 1 year of ownership, with about a dozen trips under our belt, and fully endorse the Arkto camper!

  For those not sure if an ARKTO Camper is the right choice,here is our 1 year review. Like all the reviews, you will read the build quality , materials used, equipment supplied, overall design and handling is without compromise. For us the best part is how well the camper suits our lifestyle. Whether we are travelling down the highway or over landing the roughest backcountry trails we feel secure that our camper will be our safe haven for the night no matter what the weather. No need for any stress,this camper trailer will go where you want and back without fail. After a great nights sleep the cabin offers a comfortable space to get ready for the day. We especially like preparing meals in the outdoor kitchen. The ushape design,sink stovetop, drop shelf and freezer/ refrigerator with  lids opening from both sides made meal preparation easy and enjoyable. All of this and protected by the 270 * awning that deploys easily. I know all of you will enjoy the outdoor shower after your day’s activities. When overlanding you will be thankful for the overall size of the unit and the offroad handling that allows you to access areas that other campers could not. We are detail oriented people that expect quality in our purchases with uncompromising customer support. Rest assured the ARKTO team will take care of all your needs.

  Arkto makes a superior product at a great price!
However, the important thing for us, as elderly campers, was to have good guidance on operating the camper, and support on problems we might encounter; Arkto have been first rate and have made what we expected to be a good experience into a great one.
We are off shortly for a four month vacation in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada, with great confidence that the camper will function as we need.

  After 3 years of researching camper trailers, we recently purchased an Arkto Camper.  Customer service was excellent as Aaron and the team answered all our questions with professionalism. The trailer is very well built and everything works superbly. If you are in the market for a camper, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommendingan Arkto. It is simply top of the line.

  I was searching for a specific type of trailer to fill my needs for 3 years. I had looked at pretty much every trailer on the market when I came across the Arkto G12. The G12 ticked all the boxes for me!!! Not too big and not too small, perfect for 2-3 people or a small family. Room enough inside if the weather is terrible and the outdoor kitchen and overall design is perfect. Solidly built, no corners have been cut and all materials are top notch, this trailer is built to last for the long run! I’ve seen so many friends over the years buy campers and they just start falling apart in a very short time. The G12 is bomb proof and will definitely outlast my camping years! The set up is quick, the design is absolutely perfect, no detail has been missed! I could go on and on but I will leave it at saying you can buy this trailer with confidence and you won’t be disappointed!!

  Our family bought a Arkto G12 from the gentleman at Arkto Campers. We absolutely love the design and off-road capabilities. It will serve for our future camping trips to those remote lakes! Everything on this trailer is well thought out. When they say there is a lot of storage room, they ain’t lying.

Aaron and the team at Arkto has been so helpful in answering any and all of my questions I had for him throughout the process of buying our trailer.

It’s nice to support a Canadian company as well. The quality of this trailer is outstanding. We can’t wait to go on some future Arkto adventures. 👊

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where is the trailer manufactured?

The Arkto Campers G12 is fully designed and built in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

What sort of tow vehicle do I need?

We recommend customers to have a tow vehicle with a tow capacity of 5,000 lbs or greater.

Do you have any dealerships?

No. We only sell directly to the customer. We have found that this keeps the price more economical for the customer, as well as a more satisfying buying experience; since you get to deal directly with the people that have designed and built your trailer.

How do I view one of your trailers to help make a decision?

Option 1: we can schedule a video chat call, and we will take you on a one-on-one tour of a trailer here at our facility. You will be able to ask any questions you may have and you’ll be able to get a more detailed look at any items you are interested in, including the facility and how we build the trailers.
Option 2: we can see if there is a customer trailer in your area and arrange a visit to see their trailer in person.
Option 3: put your trust in us and buy a trailer sight unseen 😊

Do you sell to U.S. residents?

Yes! We can sell directly to both Canadian and American residents. The purchasing process is virtually identical. Whether you choose to pick up your trailer or have it shipped to you, we will have all the border crossing and importation documentation prepared for you.

As a U.S. resident, do I pay taxes when I buy a trailer in Canada?

Not any Canadian taxes. The only taxes you will pay is your state tax (if there is one), which you will be responsible to pay at the DMV when you go to register/tag your new trailer. There are no duty or Canadian taxes applicable to you.

Is there any wood in the construction of the trailer?

No. There is no wood in the trailer construction. The interior cabinet doors, however, have a core material made from a marine grade MDF. While technically wood, they are effectively waterproof. After thorough water related testing, we determined that this material would resist any water/moisture related damage.

What is included in the base model?

Have a look at the spec sheet in our brochure, or on the spec section of our site. All of the components and specifications listed are what comes standard with our trailer. Only the items on the optional upgrade list come with an extra cost.

How is the trailer body constructed?

There are multiple steps in constructing the walls of the trailer. First, they are all put together with a structural sealant adhesive. Then, in strategic areas, aluminum brackets are riveted through the aluminum tubes in the walls with Huck structural rivets. After all the adhesive has cured, our custom aluminum ‘exo-skeleton’ is installed and bonded to the walls with a sealant adhesive and riveted in place with waterproof rivets. The combination of all these steps makes for an extremely robust trailer body.

What are the benefits of the insulated canvas upgrade?

The insulated canvas has 4 functional benefits. Insulation from cold weather, insulation from warm weather (reduced green house effect), sound deadening, and a blackout blind effect. All 4 of these benefits make for a more well rounded camping experience.

Will the trailer fit in an 8-foot-tall garage?

Yes. If the approach to your garage door is relatively level. Since the exterior height of the trailer is 7’ 10”, it should just squeeze in.

I’m ready to buy a trailer, what are the next steps?

• Your first step is to contact us by phone or email. Ideally by phone, so that we can have a conversation about your needs and discuss the build schedule.
We will then send you a purchase agreement and a build sheet which will outline our optional upgrades. You can check off the options that you’d like to have on your trailer, and the form will populate your final build price. Then submit these signed forms back to us.
Then you’ll send in your $1,000 Canadian deposit, to officially hold your position in the build queue.
4 weeks prior to the start of the construction of your trailer, we will confirm all of your optional upgrades and your exterior color selection. At this time, a 50% downpayment will become due.
During the build process, we will firm up the shipping or pick up schedule.
Once the trailer is completed, the balance of your invoice will become due.
If you are picking up your trailer from our facility, you will have the benefit of participating in a 4-hour long one-on-one orientation, to learn about your new trailer.

Are the trailers certified under some sort of safety designation?

Our trailers are fully certified with Transport Canada and DOT (USA).
The trailers are also certified to CSA Z-240 (Canada) and NFPA 1192 (USA) standards. This means that all the electrical, plumbing, and gas components in the trailer are listed/certified items.

How does warranty work if you don’t have dealerships?

•If a customer has a warranty claim, the first step is to contact us, so that we can understand what is going on, and see if there is a quick fix, a setting that needs changing, or possibly a simple part swap. Alternatively, if we determine that the warranty claim is due to an issue with a third-party component (i.e. stove or fridge), then we will facilitate communication between you and the manufacturer of that component. If the repair requires some labour, we can also coordinate with your local RV service center to do the work, and then we just pay them directly for doing the work (after approval of course). This is very similarly to how warranty work is done with traditional RV’s.

I’ve never owned a trailer before. How hard is it to master all of the systems and components of the G12?

• Pretty straight forward. The most difficult aspect of the G12 is the putting away of the 270-degree awning. Outside of that, we taken considerable time to make things as easy to use as possible. Also, one of the benefits of picking up your trailer from our facility, is that we offer a 4-hour long orientation on the operation of your trailer. If you choose to ship your trailer, we can even arrange a video chat orientation. Outside of that, there is also a great pool of existing customers that are always happy to help new owners.

Do I have to pick up my completed trailer, or can you ship it to me?

Customers are welcome to pickup or have their trailer shipped. We use a third-party transport company who specialize in travel trailer hauling, should you wish to have your trailer shipped. Many customers who do choose to pick up their trailer, make a little vacation out of it, and visit our beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains.

What does the shipping process look like and what does it cost?

We work with a trusted transport company that specializes in moving travel trailers across North America. The trailers are loaded onto a 53ft flat deck trailer, and driven to your location, wherever that may be. The shipping process is almost entirely hands off for the customer, outside of giving us a delivery time window and location. We handle all the necessary paperwork and coordinate directly with the transport dispatch team, on your behalf. Due to the amount of space needed by the truck driver to maneuver, it is recommended that deliveries are done in a commercial parking lot, like a Home Depot or Walmart. Shipping costs are calculated by the mile, so, the further away you are from Edmonton, the most it costs.
