MDC USA Launches New XT12HR Off-Grid Extreme Edition Overlanding Trailer
Adventurous travelers looking for a rig that can keep up with their wandering ways now have a new option to consider. MDC USA, which is an offshoot of a well-established Australian overlanding travel trailer brand, has introduced a new towable designed for remote camping. The rugged RV has everything you could ask for in a mobile base camp, including an impressive power system for extended boondocking.

Dubbed the XT12HR Off-Grid Extreme Edition, the trailer measures 18′ 2″ end-to-end and has a GVWR of 6,147 lbs. That may seem a bit on the heavy side for a relatively small trailer, but this model is built to take on rough terrain and demanding conditions. To that end, the rig is built on a galvanized steel chassis and rides on an X-TRACK independent coil spring suspension. It also comes with aluminum alloy wheels, Goodrich off-road tires, a Cruisemaster hitch, and an electromagnetic braking system.
Other exterior features include an outdoor kitchen with a three-burner stove, integrated shelving, a sink with hot and cold running water, and a slide designed for an optional refrigerator. Dual 21-gallon freshwater tanks and a 10-gallon gray tank serve as the trailer’s reservoirs. A 12V electric awning provides shade from the sun and shelter from rain, while a drop-down servery table adds convenience during and after meal prep. A hot/cold external shower with a wall-mounted shower tent is also a nice addition, as are the large external cargo bays.

Inside, the XT12HR features another kitchen with a three-burner stove and sink, a wet bath, and oak countertops and benches. A cozy dinette—complete with a removable table—makes a great place to gather for meals or other activities, while a built-in wardrobe offers closet space to store your clothes and gear. A residential-style, pillow-top queen bed comfortably sleeps two.
Of course, any RV labeled as “off-grid extreme” has to have an electrical system to back up those claims. The XT12HR delivers in this area by shipping with a Renogy power system that includes a 400Ah lithium house battery, a 3000W pure sine-wave inverter, and 350W of solar panels as standard equipment. The solar can be expanded to 950W by including more rooftop and portable solar panels.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, the XT12HR Off-Grid Extreme Edition is built for four-season camping. The unit comes with a 13,000 BTU roof-mounted Truma Aventa Eco air conditioner and an 11,500 BTU propane Truma VarioHeat furnace. Heated holding tanks, insulated water lines, self-heating batteries, and dual-pane windows also help to keep the travel trailer comfortable and functioning in a wide array of weather conditions.
“The XT12HR Off-Grid Extreme Edition reflects MDC’s commitment to creating innovative, high-quality travel trailers designed to exceed expectations,” says MDC Founder and President Vaughan Hindley in a press release announcing the towable. “We understand the needs of modern adventurers, and this model delivers unmatched off-grid capabilities, comfort, and reliability in a compact, stylish design. It’s a game-changer for couples who want to explore without limits.”
