Off Grid Trailers Overland Expedition: KVR (Kettle Valley Railway)

12 People. 7 Vehicles. 4 Trailers. 5 Days. 405 Miles. 1 Epic Adventure.
Off Grid Trailers teamed up with Overland Training Canada & 5 Star Media Group for an epic overlanding expedition through Southern British Columbia in Canada. Over 5 Days, in early June, we travelled the Kettle Valley Railway Trail taking in all that the overlanding lifestyle has to offer. The KVR is an iconic railroad and a unique trail with a really amazing history and culture.
As a company, Off Grid Trailers, is made up of a team of passionate individuals - passionate about the product and the adventures they can bring you on. That is why we decided to take a few days away from the office to really enjoy what the trailers and go on an adventure to unwind and to document.
The trip started in Castlegar, British Columbia, as we navigated up into the mountains then down to the Columbia Western Railway and through some impressive tunnels and backdrops. The first day ended at the Country Hideaway Campground just outside of Grand Forks, British Columbia where Mike and Wendy welcomed us with open arms.
Leaving the campground, the Off Grid Trailers then went west to Mile Zero of the Kettle Valley Railway in Midway, BC. We then went north along the KVR to Arlington Lake for another night in the Off Grid Trailers. There is no better way to relax then setting up camp next to a lake with a close group of friends.
Day 3 continued down the KVR through Kelowna stopping for a wine tasting just outside of town. Following the winery visit we jumped into some tight technical driving with steep hills, sharp rocks and more. We navigated our way to Chute Lake Resort. With a nice meal, beautiful lake for swimming and fishing we really got to experience the best of both worlds. Everyone relaxed and rested up for day 4 of the adventure.
Following the KVR to the Rock Island Park, stopping to see the sights and take in some attractions, the Off Grid Trailers made into Osprey Lake for another night of camping.
The final day the caravan went through Princeton, BC and up the North to the Coquihalla Highway where everyone parted ways to head home after the epic adventure.
It is important for us to get unplugged, disconnected and in our happy place out in the wilderness.
Escape Civilization. Wake up in the Wild.

*The filming of this trip was before the wildfires devastated British Columbia. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by the wildfires.
As a company we chose to cancel our second annual Whipsaw Trail trip due to the fires.

Nice promo video, but I'd sure love to see more of you actually USING the products and less of them parked on a road side or campground...Show me the usage of the Pando 2.0, expedition 2.0 etc. their features, their kitchens, their facilities etc.

[@OffGridTrailers]

We have videos like that planned for the upcoming year. Make sure to subscribe to be notified of our upcoming videos.

[@davidbarr2283]

I just bought a slightly used 2020 Expedition 2.0 and I am anxious for the camping to commence. Awesome video!!

[@OffGridTrailers]

Awesome! Enjoy!

[@kazzy8465]

Thank you for this video. Nice to see the trailers in my backyard! One of these trailers is our dream. Out of reach financially right now but hopefully in a few years we can get one to add to our adventures

[@OffGridTrailers]

The day will come soon enough!

[@hugues-alexandredery8596]

This is what dreams are made of! Great video, thanks for sharing!! I'll sure be looking at one of those trailer to compliment the Bronco

[@OffGridTrailers]

[@kevinpike3517]

Always good to see the Pando in the wild!

[@OffGridTrailers]

Thank you!

[@tburrows357]

Grew up in the kettle valley. And it’s still one of my favourite places to return for the Fall Fair. Seriously you should put a few of your trailers in at the Rock Creek Fall fair this year. It’s an amazing and the biggest little country fair in BC. Also in one of your shot you went right by my parents property 😅

[@OffGridTrailers]

Thanks for the reccomendation!

[@restlesssoulmates9291]

Great video! Makes me wish I still had our Expedition!

[@OffGridTrailers]

[@tobystowe8865]

That bridge looked beautiful to cross. How was that with pulling the trailer?

[@OffGridTrailers]

It was very narrow and a little intimidating, but totally worth it!

[@mohnster4000]

Wow looks so amazing 🤩

[@OffGridTrailers]

Thank you, it was!

[@dougsexsmith9137]

Awesome video...just watching everyone's vibe, I felt like disconnecting

[@OffGridTrailers]

Thank you for the positive feedback! Sometimes you just need to disconnect - right?

[@stitch3163]

As a Pando owner, I was happy to see the Pando being toted around. Thanks for the video. I look forward to trying the KVR when Canada opens back up.

[@OffGridTrailers]

Awesome! You will love it!

[@scottremington1031]

[@Principal9999]

[@jorgiepoorgie]

Great video with epic natural views. Would have liked to see any news upgrades on the trailers.

[@OffGridTrailers]

Thank you! We will have some more updated videos soon!

[@rudeboy1127]

Awesome videos, whoever is flying that drone did a great job, it takes b@!!$ to be that comfortable flying that close and that fast,… very curious as to what drones were used in the making of this video… doubt it was only one…

[@OffGridTrailers]

There were a few drones. The FPV drone shots are from custom-built drones, so we do not have all the specs on them.

[@jwest0913]

I only wish We could have come along! #Adventure

[@darrellrostek5578]

31 hours to go!

[@halkael2317]

Waiting impatiently for my Expo… 😎

[@OffGridTrailers]

It will come soon enough! Be patient :)

[@MrDeymann]

Is Mark still with the company? I had messaged him way back in 2006 getting info on the trailers. I think that was when Off Grid Trailers was just starting up. ???

[@OffGridTrailers]

Hey Dennis, Mark is no longer with Off Grid Trailers. Thank you, The OGT Team

[@kennethdgeitz4114]

A fantastic video with perfect content. We would like to plan a trip with other experienced overlanders and would like some more details surrounding the access to the bulldog tunnel and the trails. Can you advise if special provisions are required. Appreciate any guidance you can provide.

[@OffGridTrailers]

Feel free to reach out to Overland Training Canada, they would be your best resource.

[@kennethdgeitz4114]

@@OffGridTrailers thank you very much. Will do.

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

Can a 2 door jeep rubicon pull one of your trailers

[@OffGridTrailers]

That will depend on your tow capacity. The Switchback is 1300 lbs dry.

[@kingofbratz3626]

[@johnmckinley8447]

Intro is way way way too long.

[@OffGridTrailers]

Thank you for the feedback.
