Okay, this one is a little different! PJ is touring the KZ e17 Hatch, which tells right up front that a key feature on the trailer is the rear opening "hatch" that opens up the inside to the great outdoors outside! Join PJ as she looks at the details on this neat option from KZ!

From the KZ Website:

"Every once in a while, a new concept revolutionizes the RV industry. The new Escape “HATCH” by KZ is just that type of notion. The idea is simple, take an affordable ultralightweight camper and add a large rear door that opens vertically. It immediately provides easilyaccessible King Kong storage, unparalleled fresh air, tons of natural light, and a second overhead covering (under the rear door). So, for the first time, imagine a roughly 20foot, 3,000pound camper that actually has the ability to be easily loaded and allows one to store everything from kayaks and bicycles to coolers and lawn chairs. In fact, you can take virtually whatever you want!

The most versatile & innovative trailer on the market offers Open Air Camping: Roll the screen wall down, open the rear hatch, and enjoy the great outdoors!

Load Virtually ANYthing: Kayaks, bicycles, paddleboards, hunting gear, camping supplies, hiking gear, ... you name it!

Camp Off/Grid: Option our Off/Grid package and get 100W roofmounted solar panel, 1,000W inverter w/dedicated 110V outlets, solar controller, portable Bluetooth audio player and flashlight, tonguemounted bike rack, griddle, solar on the side (for additional solar power), aluminum wheels with mud tires, extra ground clearance, electronicallycontrolled heated holding tanks, and doubleentry step.

Industry 1st Dinette/Bed System: Transform our rear dinette into a huge sleeping surface or Udinette."
