Introduction
Club Campers, in partnership with Forest River, proudly introduces the Pause series to India—a groundbreaking range of travel trailers built to thrive in the country’s diverse and rugged landscapes. With a legacy of engineering excellence from Forest River and the innovation of Pause as its sub-brand, these trailers are tailored for Indian adventurers who demand both resilience and comfort. Let’s explore how these robust vehicles redefine off-road caravanning in India.
India’s natural beauty is matched only by its challenging terrains. From the jagged trails of the Himalayas to the vast sands of the Thar Desert, the country is a haven for adventure seekers. However, such diverse landscapes demand more than just ordinary travel trailers—they require vehicles built to endure the harshest conditions while delivering comfort and reliability. Enter the Pause series of travel trailers.
With rugged construction, innovative suspension systems, and advanced off-grid capabilities, the Pause series is specifically designed for the adventurer who refuses to compromise. Kanwal’s initiative to bring these trailers to India marks the dawn of a new era in off-road caravanning. Let’s dive into what makes these travel trailers a game-changer for India’s wild trails.
Unmatched Off-Road Capabilities
At the core of the Pause series’ design is its ability to navigate the most demanding terrains with ease. Every element of its construction is tailored for rugged environments.
- MORryde Huck-Riveted Frame
The Huck-riveted aluminium frame is a cornerstone of the Pause series’ off-road mastery. This construction method, borrowed from aviation technology, provides unparalleled strength and flexibility. Unlike welded frames, Huck-riveted joints can withstand continuous vibrations and impacts, making them ideal for India’s rocky trails and uneven roads. This robust frame ensures the trailer remains stable and intact, no matter how demanding the journey. - Independent Air Ride Suspension
The independent air ride suspension with Bilstein shocks is designed for superior off-road performance. With up to 12 inches of wheel travel, this system absorbs shocks and minimizes vibrations, providing a smooth ride over rough trails, river crossings, or desert dunes. Whether you’re navigating the steep inclines of Spiti or the mud-laden paths of Meghalaya, the suspension ensures optimal stability and comfort. - Adjustable Ground Clearance
One of the standout features of the Pause series is its adjustable ground clearance. Using the Garmin O.N.E. tablet, travellers can easily raise or lower the trailer to suit the terrain. With 25 inches of ground clearance at its peak, the Pause series can tackle large rocks, uneven paths, and deep ruts without any damage to its undercarriage. Lowering the height for stability during camp setup is equally effortless, making it a versatile companion for all adventures.
Energy Independence for the Wild
The Pause series isn’t just built to reach remote locations—it’s built to thrive there. Its cutting-edge energy systems ensure complete self-sufficiency, even in the most isolated areas.
- Victron Solar System
Energy independence is at the heart of the Pause series. The Victron Solar System includes 600 watts of roof-mounted solar panels, two 270Ah lithium batteries, and a 3,000W inverter, offering reliable power for extended off-grid adventures. This system is perfect for India’s remote locations, where external power sources are scarce or non-existent. - Upgraded Solar Options for Maximum Freedom
For adventurers planning multi-week trips, the Pause series offers upgrades that boost solar capacity to 1,500 watts and battery storage to 1,080Ah. These enhancements allow travellers to run appliances, charge devices, and power air conditioning without interruption, even in the remotest corners of Ladakh or the Sundarbans. - Integrated Off-Board Air System
The Pause series goes beyond just providing energy. Its integrated off-board air system is a boon for off-roaders. Whether inflating tires, using air tools, or inflating rafts for water crossings, this feature ensures you’re equipped for any situation. The convenience of having a portable air system on demand enhances the Pause’s utility for serious adventurers.
Durability for India’s Diverse Terrains
Indian roads and trails can be unforgiving, but the Pause series is built to handle them all, thanks to its durable design and thoughtful engineering.
- Polyurea-Coated Exterior and Puncture-Proof Underbelly
The trailers feature a polyurea-coated front wall and puncture-resistant underbelly, offering maximum protection from rocks, debris, and harsh weather conditions. This rugged exterior ensures the trailers remain unscathed during off-road adventures, whether you’re navigating through dense forests or arid deserts. - Composite Construction for Longevity
Unlike traditional RVs, the Pause series uses Transcore composite walls, floors, and roofs, eliminating the need for wood. This innovation not only reduces weight but also enhances resistance to rot, pests, and water damage. For Indian adventurers, this means a trailer that stays in peak condition, no matter the climate or terrain. - High-Performance Tires and Bumpers
With automotive-grade bumpers, dual spare tires, and high-performance all-terrain tires, the Pause series is prepared for the unexpected. Whether it’s crossing sharp rocks or avoiding deep potholes, these features ensure that the trailers remain resilient and ready for the next leg of the journey.
Interior Comfort in the Wilderness
While the Pause series shines in off-road performance, it also excels in offering luxurious interiors that make even the wildest locations feel like home.
- Thoughtful Interior Design
The interiors are equipped with aluminum cabinets, solid surface countertops, and foldable queen beds, blending functionality with elegance. Dual-pane acrylic windows provide excellent insulation and panoramic views, allowing you to enjoy India’s natural beauty without compromising comfort. - Climate Control for All Seasons
India’s climates range from scorching heat to freezing cold, but the Pause series ensures year-round comfort with Truma heating and cooling systems. Fully insulated walls and floors further enhance its suitability for extreme weather conditions, whether it’s the snow-laden passes of Himachal or the humid jungles of Kerala. - Outdoor Kitchens for Al Fresco Dining
For those who love cooking amidst nature, the Pause series features deluxe outdoor kitchens. With grills, prep tables, and collapsible sinks, these kitchens make outdoor meals a delightful experience, turning every campsite into a culinary haven.

Kanwal’s foresight in bringing the Pause series to India ensures that adventurers have a reliable and luxurious way to explore the nation’s untamed beauty.
