Explore LiV

How we build. How you'll live.

A closer look at the shell that makes a LiV a LiV — and the kind of life it's built to carry.

How it's built

Welded, not bolted.Composite, not wood.

Every LiV trailer is a single thermoplastic shell. Instead of screwing wood frames together and hoping the caulk holds, we heat-fuse our composite panels — roof, walls, and wheel wells become one continuous skin. Nothing to seam, nothing to seep, nothing to rot.

Heat-fused panels

Walls and roof are welded together at the molecular level — no seams, no fasteners, no failure points. The kind of waterproofing wood frames physically can't match.

No wood. Anywhere.

Wood-framed trailers rot when water finds the smallest gap. Ours is 100% thermoplastic composite — a decade in salt air or rain and the shell stays exactly as it left the factory.

Stronger than its parts

Welded joints are stronger than the surrounding composite — the shell carries loads competitors in our weight class won't even quote on. Built to be lived hard.

That’s why every LiV ships with a Lifetime No Wood Rot Warranty on the structure. The proof is the process.

Ten reasons it just works

All 10 benefits
01
Simple to hook and go on your journey

Hook up in under 30 seconds and you’re on your way.

02
Pulling is a dream on the highway

Glide to your favorite campsite — no white-knuckle, three-hour drives. Just an easy, stable tow the whole way there.

03
Set up at the campsite in minutes

Hook up at the campsite with no worries in less than 5 minutes — and get on with the part you came for.

04
Simple to clean — odors don’t stand a chance

Pet, cooking, and smoke odors can’t permeate into wood, because there isn’t any. Just wipe down the composite interior and the smells are gone.

05
Left a window open in the rain? No problem

No ruined wooden cabinets, floors, or walls. Just sponge the water off the 100% composite interior and carry on.

06
A roof that takes a hit

Clip a branch on the way out? There’s no rubber on a LiV roof to puncture. It’s 100% heavy-duty composite that holds up to 3,000 lbs.

07
Zero roof maintenance

No more climbing up every 90 days like your old camper demanded. Roof maintenance is eliminated — no re-sealing on a normal schedule is ever needed on a LiV RV.

08
So light you might forget it’s back there

No more worrying about straining your car, SUV, or truck pulling a heavy wood-built RV. LiV trailers are so super-lightweight, you might forget you’re towing one. Be careful out there.

09
Hailproof, dent-free

Remember your old trailer covered in hail dents? Not an issue with a LiV. Hail will not affect it.

10
Built to outlast you

Lifetime warranty against wood rot and mildew. 10-year limited box-structure warranty. Built for the next generation of your family.

Common questions

The questions we hear most.

Straight answers on weight, towing, durability, and price — the things that actually decide which trailer comes home with you.

How light is a LiV, and what can tow one?

Our ultralight 129 and 159 truck-bed campers start at just 995 lbs, and our lightest travel trailers — the 13-series — are about 1,870 lbs dry. That makes the 13-series light enough that you do not need a full-size truck or even a large SUV: crossovers, minivans, smaller SUVs, and even some cars and wagons can be rated to tow a trailer this light. Because a LiV is built from 100% thermoplastic composite instead of a heavy wood frame, every model is lighter than a comparable wood-framed trailer its size. Always match a trailer’s loaded weight (its GVWR) to your specific vehicle’s tow rating before towing.

Do LiV trailers rot, rust, or grow mildew?

No. There is not a single piece of structural wood in a LiV to rot or grow mildew — the walls, roof, and floor are 100% thermoplastic composite, a wood-free build method protected under U.S. Patent No. 12,545,170. The composite does not absorb water, and the exterior is bonded rather than stapled, so there is no row of fasteners for water to seep through. That is why every LiV carries a Lifetime Warranty against wood rot and wood mildew.

How strong and durable is a LiV? How long will it last?

A LiV is built around a patented double-welded unibody cage — a single rigid structure with no wood-screwed joints to work loose on rough roads — and a fiberglass-reinforced roof rated to hold 3,000 lbs. Every unit passes simulated 100,000-mile chassis and suspension testing and a Seal-Tec watertight check before it ships, and LiV is an RVIA-certified manufacturer re-inspected every six weeks. The structure is backed by a 10-Year Limited Warranty, on top of the lifetime no-rot warranty.

How much does a LiV cost? Are they affordable?

LiV pricing starts under $20,000 for the entry models, with most of the lineup in the $20,000s — competitive with or below comparable wood-framed travel trailers, while using more durable composite construction. Because a LiV is engineered not to rot, rust, or mildew, the long-term cost of ownership is lower too: no annual reseal schedule and no wood-rot repairs down the road. Build any model on our site for current pricing.

What warranty comes with a LiV?

Every LiV includes a Lifetime Warranty on wood rot and wood mildew, a 10-Year Limited Warranty on the frame structure, and a 1-Year Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty, plus a 36-month warranty on the advanced bonded sealing system. These terms reflect the wood-free, double-welded construction — we can warranty wood rot for life because there is no wood in the build to rot.

What makes a LiV different from a regular travel trailer?

Most travel trailers are framed in wood, floored in particle board, and held together with staples and wood screws that back out and let water in over time. A LiV is welded, not stapled; composite, not wood; and bonded, not screwed — a single thermoplastic shell with no wood to rot, fewer seams to leak, and less weight to tow. It is a patented build method engineered to still be on the road long after a staple-built wood box has failed.
