    Recently, I had the opportunity to test out the RKS Motive trailer, and it was impressive, to say the least. Since I published my first video on this trailer, I've gotten tons of questions from you guys about it. So, today's video is a little Q&A about the RKS Motive. Join me to learn about its features, pros, cons, and more!

    $90K Wow, that is absolutely insane!
    I was thinking $30-35K on the high side.
    Man, put bigger tires on your $9K cargo trailer, put the axles under the springs, drop some windows and cabinets in and save $75K!

    Thanks for your review! Id like to see more real world specs for these units. Example: whats sf of usable roof are with max 800 amps solar? Pieces of information are available are on the internet but they contradict each other. Manufacturer site not that great. Should have more video! M22 model vs M19 etc.. agree with you in the large door needs a screens option. They say there is a lower bed that forms with the bench seats. Would be nice to see how that works.

    Its nice to see companies embracing durability and not being afraid of boxes and windows. Boxes allow for better use of space and taller interior height. I love that it is made with independence and durability in mind. I do not like the price. Yes I know - good or cheap. But the value proposition for me is that I intend to spend half the year living in one. WHile it would be nice to bring a motorcycle, the more important consideration is space for me - as I am not shaped like an oompa loompa. Like all haulers its design is for the "bro dozer lyfe" and is very spartan. great for a weekend of dirt biking or hunting, not so much for longer periods. So the price is a big factor because like almost all RVs it is 80% complete and will need extensive reworking to suit my needs. the other problem is - where the heck is it? vapor product? Maybe seeing one in person would change my mind. But cant do that...

    Great review, thanks. This ticks a lot of boxes, except weight for a 19ft. One unrelated question. What portable grill are you using. That's a great piece of camping kit!

    Although this trailer has the clearance and frame to handle dirt roads and get through some deeper washes, it wouldn't really qualify as an "off road" trailer that can crawl over ledges and large obstacles with an independent suspension. We don't need that capability. We're just looking for something that can get out that extra mile or so away from the roads where no one else is boondocking. The 5,000 lbs of CCC on this trailer is amazing. That means you can load it up with solar components, water, and supplies without worrying about frame/suspension overload problems. We can overlook the stiff suspension in exchange for that capability. For us, it is on the short list for our next full time trailer and should work well to house two people and two retriever dogs (space for us instead of toys). We're waiting to see how they improve the hot and cold weather performance through improved insulation.

    Regarding AC usage in the Joshua Tree desert in mid 90's temperatures, did the battery monitor % charge readout indicate that the standard configuration of 400AH batteries + 400W solar panels, was able to:
    A. Increase charge % - thus continue to operate even if long stretches of total cloudiness?
    B. Decrease charge % - thus would estimated to function for ____ hours before completely draining the batteries?
    C. Maintain charge % - thus with reasonable amounts of sun exposure, operate for long stretches?

    Is this a paid testimonial? Does seems genuine as you only recited features praising their value and quality. This is fine but this seems scripted and biased.

      Possibly. RKS website domain is up for sale. Company address listed as temporarily closed. Do with that information what you will. Also of note that one of the co-founders is spun up a cybersec company this year per her LinkedIn.
