The Kestrel
The Kestrel Camping Trailer
Meet the Kestrel — our lightest and most accessible camping trailer yet. The newest member of the Timberleaf family, the Kestrel is a minimalist’s dream: compact, affordable, and thoughtfully crafted for those who crave the essentials without the extras. Designed as a lighter alternative to our Pika teardrop, the Kestrel offers a simple yet comfortable basecamp, whether you’re headed out for a weekend escape or a cross-country tour. Unlike our Pika and Classic models, the Kestrel skips the rear galley, built-in power, and skylight to keep things simple — and ultra-light. At just 860 pounds, it can be towed by a wide range of vehicles with ease. Every Kestrel comes standard with two doors, two sliding windows, a roof vent, and a comfortable 6-inch mattress. For those looking to keep things pared down and practical without sacrificing craftsmanship, the Kestrel is ready to roll.EXTERIOR
Ultra Compact CAMPING TRAILER.
Familiar Timberleaf DNA, reimagined for simplicity.
The Kestrel inherits the best of our Classic and Pika models — from the overbuilt, fully welded and powder-coated 2-inch by 3-inch steel frame, to the enamel-baked aluminum siding and thoughtful cabin details. It’s everything you love about a Timberleaf trailer, distilled into a smaller, lighter, and more accessible package.
Weighing in at just 860 pounds and built on a 54-inch by 90-inch frame, the Kestrel is ideal for travelers who want the quality and comfort Timberleaf is known for, without the added weight or complexity. No galley. No built-in systems. Just a streamlined, comfortable space that goes where you go.
The Kestrel is available in all three of our proven suspension packages — Standard, All-Road, and Off-Road — making it a capable companion for everything from highway cruising to rugged backcountry trails. Whether you’re towing with a crossover, SUV, or something a little more built out, the Kestrel is ready for the ride.
CABIN
Wide Open Spaces.
Stripped down to the essentials — without sacrificing comfort.
A bold departure from the Classic and Pika, the Kestrel is our most minimalist trailer yet. By leaving out the galley, skylight, power system, fan, and rear-access hatch, we’ve created a more affordable entry point into Timberleaf’s craftsmanship — without compromising on what matters most: a comfortable, beautifully built place to rest.
The Kestrel’s cabin centers around the same double-size mattress found in the Pika, offering 54 inches of width and 75 inches of length — plenty of room for two to sleep soundly. But what truly sets the Kestrel apart is its thoughtful interior layout. Drawing inspiration from the Classic, we’ve maximized storage within the cabin without sacrificing the open, airy feel Timberleaf trailers are known for.
You’ll find ample space for your gear alongside room to stretch out, unwind, and relax — a rare combination in a trailer of this size. To keep things cozy after dark, the Kestrel comes equipped with three warm-white, battery-powered LED lights: two reading lamps at the head of the bed, and a dome light above the footwell.
Simple. Functional. Beautiful. The Kestrel is everything you need — and nothing you don’t.
