For those who camp beyond fair-weather weekends and into the extremes of winter or the isolation of rugged trails, the Imperial Outdoors OB 120 camper trailer offers a serious answer. Purpose-built for four-season exploration, this squaredrop trailer merges cold-climate expertise with off-road readiness in a compact design that packs comfort, utility, and resilience into every inch. Drawing from its roots in sub-zero ice shelter construction, Imperial Outdoors has created a camper that does not just survive harsh conditions but is made to thrive in them all.
The trailer measures 16.8 feet in length and is built on a rugged powder-coated steel perimeter frame. It rides on an independent Cruisemaster suspension with an articulating hitch, offering smooth towing even across uneven and rocky ground. A generous 16.5 inches of ground clearance and 245 by 75 R16 all-terrain tires equip it for demanding trails and remote campsites.

Built with serious cold-weather performance in mind, the OB 120 off-road camper features nearly three-inch-thick composite insulated walls rated to perform in temperatures as low as negative forty degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. A Truma Combi system provides both interior heat and hot water, while a heated 114-liter freshwater tank ensures plumbing stays functional even in sub-freezing environments. Inside, the cabin offers a minimalist but efficient layout. A full-size mattress folds into a day lounge, making the most of the available space. Cabin height reaches 47.5 inches, suitable for seated comfort. Storage comes via overhead compartments, mesh pockets, and built-in shelving. A skylight lets in natural light, creating an open and airy feel despite the compact size.
A rear slide-out galley handles cooking needs with a dual-burner stove and sink, while a 75-liter dual-zone fridge and freezer mounted on a front slide-out adds refrigerated storage. Electrical needs are met with a standard 102 amp-hour lithium battery, expandable with up to 400 watts of rooftop solar panels for extended off-grid use. Optional features further increase the trailer’s adaptability. A domestic rooftop air conditioning unit offers summer cooling, while a unique 360-degree awning system, made by combining two 180-degree awnings, can be enclosed with wall panels to form a yurt-style wraparound shelter. This allows for a larger covered space during longer stops or inclement weather.
Additional utility is built into the exterior with integrated T-track mounting rails, a full-size rooftop rack, a lockable front cargo box, and holders for recovery boards, tools, and outdoor gear. Weighing approximately 2,460 pounds dry, the OB 120 offers a payload capacity of 1,740 pounds, allowing for generous packing without exceeding safe towing limits. Pricing begins in the low to mid forty-thousand-dollar range for the base model. A fully outfitted configuration, including dual batteries totaling 204 amp-hours, rooftop solar, awnings, AC, roof rack, front box, and exterior mounts, reaches about fifty-three thousand nine hundred dollars. Buyers can also add a rooftop tent to sleep up to four or a separate shower tent for increased comfort on longer journeys.
