The RV world has long catered to those with heavy-duty trucks and big tow capacities, leaving owners of smaller vehicles—like midsize pickups or SUVs—without many practical toy hauler options.

Most toy haulers on the market push the limits of gross vehicle weight (GVW), making them a challenge for anything less than a full-size truck.

Enter the Boulderback: a lightweight solution designed with function-first simplicity for those who want to bring their gear without breaking the bank—or their suspension.

Living: A Cozy Space with Big Purpose


Inside, the Boulderback keeps things simple but smart. The cargo area transforms into a living space with a fold-down dining bar that also serves as a bed.

Fold-Down Bar Bed: The dining bar converts into a full-size bed (not quite a queen, but close enough for cozy camping).


Hybrid Pop-Out Bed: A side pop-out with a zip-up privacy curtain lets you sleep closer to nature while keeping bugs at bay. It’s supported by a sturdy cable system rated for up to 950 lbs—so unless you’re planning an “atomic leg drop” from the top rope, it’s got you covered.

This layout prioritizes function and comfort, making the most of every inch, and the magnetic screen door on the ramp is an effective touch to creating an even bigger space while keeping bugs out!

Designed with couples or solo travelers in mind, with a sleeping capacity of 4, it also works for adventurous small families!

Kitchen: Compact Yet Practical


The Boulderback offers a quaint camp kitchenette with a dual high-output two-burner propane cooktop—because who needs three burners when two good ones get the job done? It also comes with plenty of freezing and cooling space with a 4.4-cubic-foot refrigerator and freezer

A full-size residential farmhouse sink and a small microwave round out the essentials for quick meals, though don’t expect much counter space—this is a minimalist setup where every inch counts.

Small but functional, with just enough features to handle simple cooking needs for the tasty late night-treats like popcorn!

Bath: Rinse-and-Go


Let’s be real, the Boulderback’s wet bath is tiny. For some, this might be a dealbreaker, especially if you’re taller or broader. It’s functional for a quick “cowboy shower,” but with limited holding tank capacity and no shower surround paneling, it’s not built for long off-grid showers—it’s more of a rinse-and-go setup.

Designed to take your toys on your next adventure, the Boulderback 14 offers the good, the bad, and the quirky!

Off-Road Ready (Sort of)

The Boulderback comes with a flipped axle and larger tires with better sidewall integrity, giving it some capability for light off-pavement adventures. It’s not a rock-crawling beast, but it can handle dirt or a creekside campsite with ease.

Add in the 100-watt solar package, and you’ve got enough juice to keep the battery tender humming, ensuring your lights and essentials stay powered.

Towing Made Easy

One of the Boulderback’s biggest selling points is its towability. At just 8 feet wide (with an 8’4” axle for stability), it’s designed for midsize pickups or SUVs with a tow capacity of 4,500 lbs or more.

Flatland campers might even get away with something as light as a Ford Maverick, though steeper terrains—like the Rocky Mountains—might call for a beefier vehicle. It’s all about matching your tow rig to your travel plans.

This camper isn’t for everyone, and that’s by design. It’s not a luxury fifth wheel or a full-time off-grid rig. Instead, it’s built for:

  • Adventure enthusiasts with midsize vehicles who need a lightweight toy hauler.
  • Weekend campers who prioritize function over frills.
  • People who love the outdoors and don’t mind a compact, no-nonsense setup.

If you’re hauling gear, hitting the trails, and looking for a basecamp that’s easy to tow and set up, the Boulderback could be your match. But if you’re dreaming of spacious kitchens, big bathrooms, or weeks off-grid, you might want to look elsewhere.

The Go Lite Boulderback 14 is a bold step into uncharted territory—a compact toy hauler for the forgotten folks of the RV world. It’s not flashy, it’s not perfect, but it’s purposeful. With its ramp door, dual sleeping options, and tow-friendly design, it’s a practical solution for those who want to bring their toys without upsizing their garage.
