LEO - The flagship of 4x4 trailers!

Desert Wolf LEO with fridge storage nose coneThe Desert Wolf Leo is one of the largest camping trailers available. The basic trailer consists of a heavy duty off-road chassis, with a large load bin. The load bin has 4 doors that open to the sides to enable easy access to the load bin, as well as a large rear-opening door. The load bin and all accessories are manufactured from grade 304 (non-magnetic) stainless steel. The 2.1m load bin can be used as a single large containers for applications such as hunting, but are often separated into different bins through dividers. This provides neat packing and utility spaces.

The suspension and chassis is strong and durable and will take you anywhere. The axle width and wheels are matched to that of your tow vehicle to ensure that the trailer will follow you wherever you go.

To this strong base you can add any feature you may need. All load containers and accessories are manufactured from grade 304  non-magnetic stainless steel and are not painted.

The Desert Wolf LEO can be fitted with a wide range of accessories. Some of the accessories include:

Nose Cones:

Top-Loading nose cone storage box, with optional insulation as cooler box. This option is often used with the in-between box to render more storage; or

Nose cone Fridge storage box with 2 side doors. On the Leo the fridge is installed in the main bin and this nose cone adds additional storage. This nose cone can be fitted with an optional nose cone roof rack, very handy for carrying wood, charcoal and other bulky items.

Fridges / Freezers:

We recommend National Luna stainless steel fridges. These top-quality fridges complement the quality of our trailers and withstand the conditions associated with travelling in a trailer very well. Three options are available for your Leo:

Fridge mounting, brackets and bearing rails, wiring and cable tracks will be required for mounting the fridge.

Electrical Systems:

Water tanks:

The Leo chassis can accommodate 2 large grade 304 (non-magnetic) stainless steel tanks. Note that when only one tanks is installed it is preferable to install the rear tank to assist with weight distribution.

Kitchen, kitchen drawers and pantry:

The pantry consists of stainless steel shelves, with optional 4-way lockable plastic containers to ensure optimal use of space. An aluminium kettle is included with the pantry. The oak kitchen, with kitchen utensils, cutlery and crockery for 6 people, a work surface and a gas stove, is fitted in the rear door. One or two large drawers can also be installed to improve access to the bottom of the load container. The drawers pull out towards the rear of the trailer and are accessible from the kitchen.
