01 What Off Grid Trailers publishes for the Off Grid Trailers

Off Grid Trailers lists 4 Off Grid Trailers overland trailers in its Off Grid Trailers buying guide on offgridtrailers.com (no model year stated). Off Grid Trailers prints a dry weight for every one profiled here, and each has a page of its own. It prints a GVWR for every one too. Off Grid Trailers prints no cargo carrying capacity for any Off Grid Trailers floorplan, and this site does not compute one. (How the data is verified.)

Read from Off Grid Trailers’s Off Grid Trailers buying guide on offgridtrailers.com (no model year stated), 6 Nov 2026. “Not published” means the maker prints no figure; nothing is filled from another model, year or dealer.

03 Reading Off Grid Trailers’s figures

A maker’s published weight is for a base trailer; options and dealer-installed equipment add weight to any particular unit. The federal weight label inside the trailer carries its own unloaded weight, cargo carrying capacity and GVWR (49 CFR 567 and 571.120): read it on the unit itself before any towing decision.

05 Recalls

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting this line. The earliest was reported 7 Jun 2022 and the most recent 2 Mar 2023.

ReportedCampaignComponentWhat can go wrong
2 Mar 202323V139000EquipmentA gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
7 Jun 202222V400000EquipmentA gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.

This count covers every Off Grid Trailers campaign NHTSA lists.

06 Owner-reported problems

A sweep of NHTSA’s complete complaint file — every safety-defect complaint NHTSA has received since 1 January 1995, matched on NHTSA’s own model field under every name this site publishes for the line — found no complaint naming this line. Treat that as no report found, not as a clean record: owners file under whatever name they were sold, and a newer or lower-volume line simply has fewer owners to file.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.

Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.

What reviewers say

Independent reviews of this line, summarised in this site’s own words and linked to the original. Each says whether the reviewer actually towed or inspected the trailer. Reviews are opinions about the year and floorplan they looked at; every figure on this site still comes only from the maker’s own documents.

RV Travel (RVtravel.com) · 2022 Switchback R and Switchback S · by Tony Barthel, 2021-08-09

Not a hands-on test: written from the maker’s information and the reviewer’s own research.

Tony Barthel calls the 2022 Switchback a very capable rig for genuine adventurers, liking its trail-ready specs, the articulating Max Coupler hitch, a 270-degree batwing awning and the slide-out cutting board, and says he would absolutely tow one with a Jeep. He notes it has no sleeping quarters without a rooftop tent and offers no shelter from rain off-grid.

  • Specs built to follow a Jeep on the trail
  • Max Coupler hitch allows more articulation

Criticised

  • No sleeping quarters without a rooftop tent
  • Not for sheltered off-grid stays in rain
