2021 TAXA Outdoors Mantis, Lightly Used, Indoor-Stored, Fully Spec'd + Optional Rooftop Tent

Why You'll Love This Camper

We bought this 2021 TAXA Outdoors Mantis new with big adventure plans. But life had other ideas - and this camper has hardly been used. It has been stored in a temperature-controlled garage since purchase.

Now it’s ready for someone else's wild journey. This is one of the most intelligently designed, rugged-yet-lightweight adventure trailers ever built - created by a former NASA architect to go where others can't.

This is fully loaded with factory upgrades and built for remote camping, flexible living, and low-hassle towing.
