Ember Recreational Vehicles introduced the E-Series Spark LE 12RK, the latest addition to its lineup of travel trailers. Designed for RVers who crave adventure with the ease of towing and setup, the 12RK redefines what a compact travel trailer can offer, the company said in a release.
At just 15 feet, 9 inches in length, the E-Series Spark LE 12RK is designed for those seeking a lightweight trailer that doesn’t skimp on features or quality and is backed by a 2-year limited warranty.
With a dry weight of 1,830 pounds and a hitch weight of 205 pounds, it is towable by a wide range of vehicles, including small SUVs and trucks. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for first-time RV owners, people looking to ditch the tent and get off the ground, solo travelers and couples ready to embark on adventures without worrying about size or weight restrictions.
“With the Spark LE, we created a tiny trailer that is lightweight and accessible without sacrificing the features and durability Ember RV is known for,” said Ashley Bontrager, Ember’s founder and CEO. “This micro trailer series expands Ember’s customer base to even more diverse camping styles, introducing our brand to a new audience.”
Built on a high-strength, low-alloy HSLA Steel NXG Chassis, the Spark LE 12RK features a Dexter TORFLEX torsion axle with self-adjusting electric brakes and 15-inch off-road tires, ensuring smooth towing and superior handling over any terrain. Its seamless fiberglass construction with Azdel composite exterior walls, floor and roof makes the trailer durable, lightweight and ready to handle the elements.
The heavy-duty steel fenders double as a convenient step, providing easier access to the fully walkable roof. The standard 26-gallon freshwater tank can be paired with an optional tankless “On-Demand” water heater for added convenience and comfort. Already standard with a fully enclosed radiant barrier underbelly, customers can take it a step further with weatherproofing features like optional 18K-Btu furnace and optional 12-volt tank heater, ensuring the trailer is prepared for colder-weather camping.
The trailer’s compact rear kitchen packs a punch with the necessary amenities. The powder-coated steel countertop and storage are paired with a sink equipped with a faucet, sprayer and outdoor shower functionality. A griddle with LP quick-connect allows for versatile cooking options. For those who opt to add the refrigerator option, the 1.7-cubic-foot mini fridge makes the kitchen area even more convenient.
Inside, the 12RK offers a cozy yet functional living space that prioritizes comfort and practicality. Rest comfortably on its dual 28-inch-by-84-inch teddy bear mattresses, which can be used separately or combined into a spacious California queen-size bed (56 inches by 84 inches). Above, a rainproof 12-volt Maxx-Air roof fan ensures proper ventilation, keeping the interior fresh and comfortable. To enhance your experience, the interior is carpet-free, making it easy to clean when the mattresses are removed. Other interior amenities include energy-efficient LED lighting, USB-AC ports and 12-volt power outlets that ensure you stay connected on the road, along with well-designed cubbies to store personal belongings.
For adventurers who want to unplug, the optional Off-Grid Solar Package elevates the Spark LE 12RK into a true off-grid companion. The package includes two 200-watt roof-mounted solar panels (400 watts total), a 2000-watt pure sine wave inverter and a Victron MPPT solar controller. Combined with the SPARK LE’s off-road tires and water capacity, this optional off-grid solar package allows campers to explore even the most remote destinations while enjoying some comforts of home.
Ember RV said it understands that every traveler’s needs are different, so the Spark LE 12RK is highly customizable. Available options include an 18K-Btu furnace and 8K-Btu wall-mounted air conditioner for temperature control, tankless “On-Demand” water heater, a 270-degree Batwing Awning or 6.5-foot manual awning with LED light for additional shade and shelter, and a roof rack system designed to carry kayaks, bikes or other outdoor gear.
The E-Series Spark LE 12RK is Ember RV’s answer to the growing demand for compact, versatile travel trailers that cater to today’s adventurers. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned camper, the Spark LE combines off-grid capability with modern comforts in a compact, easily towable package.
