S42: more space, same freedom

The Igloo Caravane S42 offers about 5 ft 8 in of interior height, a real living space and a sliding outdoor kitchen, while staying ultralight (about 885 lb).

Key takeaways

  • Stand up inside: about 5 ft 8 in of interior height to get changed, cook or simply live inside.
  • A real living space: benches that convert into a bed and a table to eat inside, even when it rains.
  • Sliding outdoor kitchen: quick access and a practical layout to cook outside without compromise.
  • Still light: about 885 lb, fully insulated, no wood, compatible with a wide range of vehicles.

From day one, Igloo Caravane set itself a simple mission: build ultralight, durable trailers with no compromise.

With the S42, officially launched at the end of October 2025, we’re taking that vision even further.

A model for those who want more… without the weight

The T42 has proven itself: simple, efficient, light. But we kept hearing the same thing:

“I’d like a bit more space… without ending up with a heavy, complicated trailer.”

That’s exactly where the S42 came from.

What changes with the S42

You can stand up

A real game changer.

  • About 5 ft 8 in of interior height
  • More comfortable to get changed, cook or simply live inside

A real interior living space

  • Benches that convert into a bed
  • A table to eat inside
  • More versatile, whatever the weather

Sliding outdoor kitchen

  • Quick access
  • Practical, optimized layout
  • Ideal for cooking outside without compromise

Still just as light

Despite its roomier format:

  • About 885 lb
  • Compatible with a wide range of vehicles

Still Igloo at heart

Even as we evolve, we haven’t changed what defines us:

  • Fully insulated (high-density polystyrene, approx. R-7)
  • 100% rot-proof (no wood)
  • Durable assembly (rivets + structural adhesive)
  • No seals to redo every year

In short: a trailer built to last, not to be repaired.

Who is the S42 for?

The S42 is perfect if you want:

  • To travel light, but with more comfort
  • An interior space you can use even when it rains
  • A durable trailer with no complicated maintenance

A new way to travel

The S42 isn’t just a new model. It’s a new way to enjoy camping: simpler, more comfortable and still without compromise.
