Honda’s Base Station Aims To Make Adventure Modern And More Accessible

On Jan. 14, 2026, Honda unveiled the Base Station Prototype, an entirely new towable travel trailer designed for electric vehicles and compact crossovers like the Honda CR-V and Prologue.
Honda says it built the trailer to `democratize camping` and `disrupt the towable RV class`, targeting a younger outdoor-lifestyle market of 50 million people.
Featuring modular removable windows on the Base Station, the prototype includes a pop-top offering seven feet of headroom, sleeping capacity for a family of four, and an expandable lithium-ion battery with solar panels.
Honda has not set a sale date and says pricing is undecided, aiming for $20,000 to $40,000, with sales through Honda dealerships if produced.
If produced, the Base Station could broaden camping access for EV and compact-crossover owners, while Honda manufacturing capabilities could reshape the small towable trailer market.
