1. Trail-Assure BG-500
First on our list is the Trail-Assure BG-500. This asymmetric electronic stability control provides a greater degree of safety in the event of a road incident. So, what makes this different from your average weight distribution hitch? When it comes to MDC USA trailers, these rigs are made for ultimate overlanding and come equipped to do so.
The standard hitch that comes on these off-road campers gives you the ability to have more sway up and down, as well as left and right, giving you more flexibility when going over rugged terrain….and we do mean rugged. Because of this flexibility, your standard weight distribution hitch will decrease the amount of articulation in the hitch. The electronic solution, like the Trail-Assure, eliminates this issue entirely. You don’t have the added weight up front, and you get to keep your increased articulation.
2. Lithium (LiFePO4) battery system as standard
The way MDC designed your power storage makes these components not only easy to get to, but also convenient to manage. Located right under the bottom bunk of the MDC XT17HRT Family you’ll have a Pure sing inverter, 200 AH Lithium Ion Battery, DC-DC Charger, and the BM Pro Battery Plus system.
3. Aluminum body Frame and composite floor (no timber rot)
The aluminum body of the MDC campers ensures your investment is protected for years to come. Inside the frame, MDC USA has ensured tidy and organized electrical wiring that’s routed throughout the framework, with added protection from grommets and corrugated conduits to shield cables from wear and tear. Plus, these campers are designed 4-season ready to handle frigid temperatures and those hot summer days. One truly unique offering from MDC is the fact that their entire build is in house. This means they can provide detailed blueprints with each camper, giving owners a clear and valuable insight into the structure and systems within their overland caravan.
4. Triple seal external hatches – reduces dust ingress
Keep your gear safe no matter where the journey takes you! Whether you’re exploring the outback or navigating around national parks, the triple seals add an extra layer of protection around your external hatches.
5. Signature External kitchen
And number 5 on our list is the external kitchen. Really y’all, who doesn’t love cooking outside? MDC USA’s signature outdoor pull-out kitchen has everything you need to whip up your favorite camping meals. Equipped with a three-burner stove, sink, spice/storage rack, and extra prep space, the chef of your family will love this space!
6. Electric cassette awnings with full annex rooms
The MDC XT17HRT Family model offers a versatile outdoor space with its cassette awning and annex room. The all-weather add on allows you to enjoy a comfortable and sheltered outdoor environment, perfect for meals, relaxation, or accommodating extra guests overnight. With the addition of the cassette awning, you gain extra shade and weather protection, enhancing comfort in all seasons. Plus, the XT17HRT Family includes a convenient outdoor shower tent, so you can freshen up without stepping indoors, making this camper ideal for extended outdoor adventures.
7. MDC uses quality appliances from trusted brands such as Truma, Thetford, Dometic, Furrion etc.
All MDC off-road campers come standard with the most trusted brands. From the Truma system that provides instant hot water to the Thetford cassette toilet, they have made it easy to stay comfortable while off the grid. Additionally, MDC uses products from Dometic and Furrion to ensure your appliances last for years to come.
8. DO35 Hitch
While it’s hard to narrow down the top standard features on the MDC USA Campers, the DO35 hitch has to be in the top 3! This hitch allows your rig to easily travel with your tow vehicle over rugged terrain without fear of it not fully moving with you.
9. Cassette Toilet
The Thetford Cassette Toilet brings absolute convenience to any adventure, offering easy portability wherever your journey takes you. Its compact, efficient design allows for waste disposal without needing to move the entire rig. To do so, simply detach the cassette tank from its holding station, roll it to the dumping area, empty, and you’re set!
10. Recovery Hooks
Oh yeah, you can be that friend! The one that saves your crew member that gets stuck on the trail. The MDC XT17HRT Family comes equipped with two recovery hooks on the rear of the camper!
