There is a lot of equipment rolling around out there in the outdoor industry, but every once in a while one comes along that shines brighter than the rest. As outdoor recreation evolves with each generation the equipment used also needs to evolve. The SylvanSport ‘Go’ camping and travel trailer provides that evolution for the outdoor players of today. It’s the result of outdoor gear heads, engineers and thinkers from the RV industry teaming up.

I first heard about the ‘Go’ at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City a few years back. It’s been called a “backpack on wheels”. My husband and I have hit the point with our family (3 small children) that backpacking isn’t a common occurence for us. Tent camping with a side dish of rock climbing, biking or boating is however. So we’ve hung up our ultra light gear and want to pursue something a little more comfy for our evolving family!

My favorite bits of the ‘Go’:

• Being only 800 lbs. it can easily be hauled by small vehicles (cars and minivans)
• It doesn’t just haul quads and motorbikes. It also doubles as a hauler for tree branches, grass clippings and anything else that needs hauling.
• Up above it carries bikes, boats and etc. with its equipment rack that’s compatible with Thule, Yakima and other brands.
• The trailer’s tent is constructed by Kelty. They’re not making this thing of cheap stuff.

I found this picture very comical. Check out the SylvanSport parked next to this old school trailer at the gas pump. My we’ve come a long way.
