The Mantis also comes equipped with a powerful BTU standard AC and heater, so you can still adventure during the off-season.

Build and reserve your Mantis to get paired with a dealer near you.

Meet Mantis.

Built for the journey and the destination, Mantis is crafted for a life outdoors with room for four (or more). Discover the freedom of off-grid living and immerse yourself in the natural elements beneath the pop-up roof.

If you’re looking for the creature comforts of a NASA-inspired travel trailer for camping, the Mantis has everything you need, including a full galley kitchen, 8,000 BTU A/C, heater, enhanced shower, and even redesigned cushions with double the thickness that allow you to transfer from bed to lounge to café mode.

Mantis may dream big, but it’s still small enough to fit in a garage and tow with a six-cylinder engine. Upgrade to Overland Edition for an axle-less suspension to take Mantis with you on the trail.

Mantis Features

Lightweight & Garageable

Ready to hit the road whenever adventure calls, TAXA habitats offer unmatched towing ease. With hassle-free storage, the Mantis effortlessly fits into standard garages. Mantis is spacious, yet remarkably lightweight.

Sleeping Space for 4+ Adults

Embark on family-sized adventures with Mantis, where memories are best shared together. This camper comfortably sleeps four adults. Convert the full-sized bed into cafe or lounge mode and drop the bunk bed system into a couch.

Full Galley Kitchen, AC & Heater

Smart storage pairs with durable baltic birch-wood cabinetry and high pressure laminate countertop. The galley kitchen includes a sink, two burner stove, an open shelving system, storage tower, a cooler platform, and a 16 gallon trash can. For increased comfort, Mantis comes standard with an 8,000 BTU AC, furnace and hot water system.

Customize with Flexible Space

No matter your camping style, Mantis is the ultimate basecamp that customizes to your preference. The new front Flex Space features space for work, play, shower, restroom and extra storage.

Enhanced Shower

Clean up with ease in our enhanced shower designed for adventurers up to 6'6" tall. The flexible hose reaches the entrance, allowing you to leave the mud, snow, or sand from the day's excursions at the door. When you’re finished, click the shower base back up to travel position and free up the Flex Space for something else.

Intuitive Storage Systems

Multi-use thinking led to the design of our storage system with pack-and-go milk crates (or Sidio crates) that stash in the storage tower, kitchen or under-bed space. Smart backsplash storage completes the kitchen and anchor points all through the Mantis provide opportunity to hang or bungee goods in place.
