2026 BONTRAGER OUTDOORS 10HD

The 2026 Bontrager Outdoors Compact 10HD (formerly known under the Bushwhacker brand) is the quintessential "adventure pod." It is designed for travelers who want to skip the tent but keep a small enough footprint to be towed by almost any SUV, crossover, or small truck.

## Interior Comfort
Despite its compact size, the 10HD is packed with climate control and tech usually reserved for larger trailers:
Sleeping: Features two deluxe 4-inch quilted mattresses that provide a comfortable floor-level sleeping area for two people.
Climate Control: Unlike many teardrops that only have a fan, the 10HD comes standard with a wall-mounted 13,500 BTU A/C and a heavy-duty Truma Combi furnace.
Storage: Oversized interior cabinets equipped with heavy-duty netting to keep your gear from shifting during bumpy off-road transit.
Extras: Includes a 12V 3-speed roof vent and a dedicated spot for the included portable toilet.
## Exterior Rear Kitchen
The back of the 10HD opens up to reveal a fully functional "galley" style kitchenette:
Cooking: A 2-burner gas cooktop and an integrated sink with a 12V water pump.
Cooling: Includes a 30 Qt. premium double-wall cooler (often upgradable to a 12V fridge in higher trim packages).
Convenience: A propane quick-connect port allows you to easily attach additional grills or fire pits.
## Rugged "HD" Construction
The "HD" stands for Heavy Duty, and the build quality reflects that:
Chassis: Norco stamped, huck-bolted steel mainframe with a 2,200 lb Torsion-Flex independent suspension.
Body: Welded aluminum frame with Azdel composite-backed fiberglass sidewalls—meaning it is highly resistant to rot, mold, and delamination.
Off-Road Ready: High-clearance design with oversized all-terrain radial tires and alloy aluminum sport wheels.
Protection: Features heavy-gauge, powder-coated aluminum fenders and diamond plate running boards.
## Standard 2026 Tech
Solar Prep: "Easy-plug" solar port for quick connection to portable panels.
Power: 30-AMP converter with multiple USB and 110V outlets located both inside and at the rear kitchen.
Roof Rack: A multi-purpose gear rack is standard, perfect for kayaks, mountain bikes, or a rooftop tent if you need to double the sleeping capacity
