Chalet Tekena Curv Trailer

The Tekena Curv is the latest in the line of Chalet Trailers. Based on the legendary design of the Chalet popup trailer, the Curv is an ultra-light camp trailer weighing in at only 1830 lbs with only 215 lbs hitch weight.

The light weight design of the Chalet line of campers and trailers has made it a favorite for people wanting to tow a trailer behind a car, small pickup, minivan or SUV. The low-profile aerodynamic design of the Tekena Curv keeps the trailer from acting like a sail when being pulled on windy highways. This design also makes it more efficient to pull a Tekena Curv than almost any other brand of trailer. Even with the low-profile design the Curv still gives 6’6” of headroom.

The Chalet Curv isn’t short on features though. Anyone that has struggled to fit in a compact bathroom will appreciate the Swivel toilet design allowing for more foot room while using the toilet. The Curv also has the distinction of being the lightest travel trailer with a dry bathroom (i.e the toilet is not in the shower).

This unit is fully self contained with a 6 gallon Black water tank, a 30 gallon Grey water tank and a 29 gallon Fresh water tank. The galley area includes an acrylic sink and faucet with a 12v water pump. A 55 amp converter and battery charger keeps the batteries charged when camping in a campground with hookups and feeds standard power receptacles. There is a 2 burner cook stove in the galley along with a 3.0 cu.ft. 3-way fridge.

The Curv comes standard with a 12,000 btu furnace to keep you warm and a optional 11,500 BTU air conditioner with a heat pump. You can also opt for a gas/electric DSI water heater. Other nice upgrades include an outside shower and outdoor grill as well as a dual propane tank setup for longer trips.

In short, this compact camp trailer has one of the most efficient designs available both in adding features into a very limited space and keeping the weight down to allow it to be towed by most vehicles including many cars. While a little cramped for large families it is the perfect design for couples wanting to take all the conveniences of home with them.
