On this episode of RV Small Talk, we’re excited to sit down with Vaughan, the owner of MDC to explore what sets their off-road trailers apart from the rest. Vaughan’s insights highlight MDC’s dedication to building trailers that can confidently take you where you want to go—and get you back safely.
Every Summer is HOT, but certain locations are unbearable annually. For many, Parts of the South, like the Gulf Coast, West Texas, Arizona, etc. are un-campable during the summer months due to oppressive and dangerous heat. While much of the rest of the nation is using their summer vacations to get outdoors, campers in these places are hiding in the shade and air conditioning. We’re no strangers to camping in the heat, and we’ve learned tricks that allow us to stay cool while camping in the Summer.
If you haven’t heard of MDC USA off-road trailers yet, you’re about to! MDC has been building the ultimate off-road travel trailers for more than 15 years in Australia, and recently, they’ve expanded their products to the U.S. Princess Craft RV is proud to carry the MDC brand! In this episode of RV Small Talk, we’re catching up with Vaughan, owner of MDC, to pick his brain on the product and how it came about.

From an Aliner, to a Casita, and now moving into an inTech Magnolia, Felicia and Tim were gracious enough to chat with us at Princess Craft RV about their RV journey over the years! Traveling with two big dogs, Felicia and Tim had great adventures in their Casita, including cross-country trips to their property in Idaho. When they knew it was time to make a change, inTech was already on their minds. But why inTech? They wanted something unique that also fit their lifestyle. Plus, the Magnolia offered them plenty of space, allowing them to work on the road with their two big dogs!
We’re no strangers to camping small…or minimal! In fact, Princess Craft RV specializes in the unique, smaller campers that are completely out of the norm in the industry. When it comes to packing up these tiny trailers, a different level of thought that comes in to play. What are the essentials? The nice-to-haves? And everything in between? When it comes to downsizing, we have become experts in knowing what to bring and what to leave behind.
Having a backup camera on your RV is an essential part of having a hassle-free camping adventure. Between navigating tight campsites and backing up into spaces, a rear camera can be an absolute lifesaver! It’ll significantly reduce your blind spots, helping to prevent accidents and avoid obstacles, all while protecting your investment. The additional reassurance of a backup camera will enhance overall confidence when towing your camper. This makes for a smoother ride and a way more enjoyable journey.
Finding lightweight campers under 3500 pounds with a bathroom doesn’t mean you have to compromise on comfort or amenities. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a small family, or anything in between, there are plenty of options available that offer the perfect blend of mobility and convenience.
Texas, being a rather large expanse of land, has so many diverse environments to explore. That should make it perfect for Texas Overlanding, but so much of the land is privately owned and so many of the roads are paved that it would help significantly to get the help of an overlanding friend. That’s why we have Chris Devereaux!
