The great American road trip conjures images of Kerouac barreling down the highway without a care in the world.
Or perhaps a vision of yourself heading west just to see what's out there.
But we can tell you what's out there: long stretches of open road without creature comforts like clean bathrooms, dining tables and fully stocked bars.
A better way to travel: the Coast Model 1, a towable luxury trailer that's described as "outdoorsy living for indoorsy people." And that's an intriguing promise.
The Nashville company is making trailers with a few different interior and exterior options, so you can customize things to your liking. Place your order, and take delivery in 12 weeks or less.
The Model 1 sports a well-designed 131-square-foot interior. It sleep four people, with a bed and a dining banquette that converts into another bed. There's a bathroom, a closet, and a kitchenette with a Smeg fridge, a two-burner stove and a microwave.
Everything is designed with convenience in mind, including integrated smart home features that let you control lighting and electronics via remote.
Central air keeps you comfortable year round. But because the trailer itself is built with a fully composite shell and insulated body made from 100% recyclable materials, it stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, keeping your cabin operating at peak efficiency. Solar power and lithium battery banks let you stay connected, even while off the grid.
If you're going to travel by car, you might as well do so connected to a comfortable apartment.
