ARCADIA, Calif., Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — RKS Off-Road, a California-based company, today announced it will start customer deliveries of its Purpose Trailer in Q1 2021. RKS Off-Road is singularly focused on revolutionizing the recreational vehicle industry with levels of product quality and durability never seen before in the market.
“Everything we do at RKS is designed and engineered to provide customized solutions for the most demanding and discerning of adventurers,” said Elisabeth Gritsch, Co-Founder of RKS Off-Road. “We spent years in the RV rental business and were constantly disappointed with the low levels of quality in both materials and craftsmanship. Launching RKS has allowed us to challenge the status quo.”
The Purpose Trailer delivers an unexpectedly high level of specification. The full outdoor kitchen includes 20k BTU dual burner portable stove, stainless steel professional-style sink, slide out tray for either a cooler or fridge/freezer and built-in storage.

Depending on shower frequency, duration and consumption of drinking water, users would have enough water for between two and six weeks (based on consumption of between 1.5 and 4.9 gallons per day per person).
