designed to allow up to 90-degrees of left and right rotation (on level ground). It will also accept up to a 10% bend (as you’d experience pulling into a steeper driveway). What it won’t accept is 20-30% bend while at the same time rotating left or right at an equal or more sever angle. The G12 anticipates this need by using a Max Coupler tri-axis off-road coupler. The Max Coupler has a tri-axis design that allows virtually unrestricted movement in three axis simultaneously without any binding. Once you get to your campsite, you increase the usable living space by deploying the awning. This is a batwing design that covers a 270-degree spread. It’s tied into place and will resist most winds. This awning covers the outside kitchen, prep table, pantry and fridge/freezer. Each section of this complete kitchen slides out from behind hard, lockable doors. A wall mounted porch light is positioned to throw ample light onto this work area. A 37-gallon freshwater tank means you can stay out longer—but you don’t have to do without hot water. A Truma system supplies propane heat and on- demand hot water to an outside shower complete with a privacy enclosure—this fabric shower room flattens, rolls up and stores on the outside of the trailer. A portable toilet can be accessed from inside and also removed from the outside.
hardcore wilderness customer. (Mind you, they all watch TV on their phones anyway.)
The design of the G-12 allows for up to 4 sleeping spaces and a compact utilitarian layout. Because of the stresses placed on a unit like this (towing and environmental) it is interesting to note that there is no wood in this construction—inside or out. Aluminum, Fiberglass, power-coated steel, and plastics built on that galvanized frame make this unit impervious to water absorption and allow minimal flexing.
What I didn’t see much of is frilly décor accents and electronics. I think Arkto is aiming at a more
