In a world awash with camper trailers, how do you distinguish yourself? How do you ensure it competes with campers that are made to endure a rough terrain, meant to survive a bear attack and on top of that can turn into a swashbuckling rig if an apocalypse transpires? California-based RV startup Exodus must have had these thought in mind before designing the Capax trailer. And with good reason, because in a market where camper trailer companies are touting capabilities like self-driving (in the near future), boasting bear spray defense system, and luring camping enthusiasts with futuristic designs, it is a challenge to produce something that’s actually pragmatic and caters to today’s needs.
Exodus’s Capax trailer exactly does this. It not only leverages on current technology and smart engineering but also enhances your base camp experience, courtesy of a smart home-like touchscreen automation system, instant electric setup and breakdown, auto-leveling, and satellite connectivity. These innovations ensure that setting up camp is as effortless as possible.
Hard-walled pop-up campers have gained a lot of popularity in recent times, and the Capax trailer is at the forefront of this trend. It combines the protection of a solid structure with the convenience of a trailer that can be stored in a standard garage. When compacted, the Capax trims down to 6 feet height, thus fitting through typical 7-8 feet garage doors, unlike many hard-walled trailers that must be stored outside. Switching from storage to camping mode is simple with an electrically actuated lift system controlled via a smartphone app and touchscreen, eliminating the need for manual setup.
Another standout feature of the trailer is its exterior. Exodus engineers have used TransCore panels for the exterior finishing and accoutered dual-pane windows to maintain airflow inside. The trailer’s axle-less air suspension system offers up to 19.5 inches of ground clearance, allowing it to handle a variety of terrains. The Capax offers high levels of automation with touchscreen and smartphone controls for leveling, air conditioning, and lighting. Additionally, it has smart locks for all doors and compartments, hence being staunch on their claim of smart RV.

The Capax features two kitchens: It has almost become a trend in RVs to include dual kitchens, so this doesn’t come as a surprise. The outdoor kitchen includes a triple-burner stove, sink, and extendable worktop, while the indoor kitchen has a dual-burner gas stove/sink combo, microwave, and fridge. The supply and spice cabinets can be accessed from both inside and outside, with a drop-down hatch serving as extra workspace. An innovative indoor/outdoor beverage bar is also included, featuring a cooler box integrated into the sofa that can be accessed from inside and outside.
Unlike a compact teardrop trailer that sleeps two people, the Capax houses an entire family. Designed to offer maximum functionality, it features a rear dining lounge sofa that converts into a king bed, and the space at the opposite end includes two bunk beds, with the lower bunk expanding for more space. This setup can accommodate a family of five.
During the day, the bunk room can be converted into an office. The trailer has connectivity via a satellite communications package and onboard Wi-Fi booster, powered by lithium batteries and a 3,000W inverter. On top of that, solar panels provide additional power.

The Capax also squeezes a bathroom with a large shower floor, offers ample legroom for the toilet, and features a standing room in front of the sink. If you are not impressed with that, the rear of the trailer houses a workshop space with a tool storage cabinet, fold-down worktop, long storage drawers, a compressor hook-up, and a tall cabinet for storing oversized gear.
Other features include an electric-retractable TV in the dining lounge, a sound system, a central vacuum system, a spare tire cover that doubles as a camp table, a dust suppression system, and a surveillance and backup camera system.
It is to be noted that many of these features are included in the premium package, which would cost you a whopping $160,000. In case you are tight on budget, the company is selling the basic model for $120,000 but it will not have the high-end features.
