    The Ember E-Series Spark LE 12RK redefines the compact travel trailer experience with an ideal blend of durability, convenience, and off-road capability. Designed for explorers who need a lightweight, easy-to-tow companion, this model delivers exceptional features in a compact package. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple seeking adventure, or upgrading from tent camping, the 12RK ensures comfort without compromise.

    Built To Go Anywhere

    At just 15.75 feet (4.8 meters) long with a dry weight of 1,830 pounds (830 kilograms), the Spark LE 12RK is easily towable for small SUVs and trucks, making it an excellent choice for first-time RV owners. Its high-strength, low-alloy steel NXG chassis ensures structural integrity, while the Dexter Torflex torsion axle with self-adjusting electric brakes provides smooth, stable towing on any terrain. With 15-inch off-road tires and heavy-duty steel fenders that double as steps, this trailer is built to handle rugged paths and remote destinations.

    Constructed with seamless fiberglass and Azdel composite walls, roof, and flooring, the Spark LE 12RK is both lightweight and highly durable. A fully enclosed radiant barrier underbelly adds weather resistance, while an optional 12-volt tank heater enhances cold-weather performance. The front rock guard provides extra protection, ensuring this travel trailer is ready to leave paved roads behind.

    Adventure-Ready Comfort & Convenience

    The interior of the Spark LE 12RK maximizes space and functionality. Twin 28- by 84-inch (71- by 213-centimeter) teddy bear mattresses can be combined to create a California Queen-sized sleeping area measuring 56 by 84 in. (142 by 213 cm), ensuring a restful night’s sleep. A rainproof 12-volt Maxx-Air roof fan enhances ventilation, while LED lighting, USB-A and USB-C ports, and 12-volt power outlets keep you connected on the road. The carpet-free Congoleum DiamondFlor flooring ensures easy cleaning, making the space practical and comfortable.

    Outdoor Kitchen For On-the-Go Meals

    The rear kitchen of the Spark LE 12RK is packed with everything you need for cooking outdoors. A powder-coated steel countertop with built-in storage, a sink with a faucet, sprayer, outdoor shower functionality, and a griddle with LP quick-connect make meal preparation effortless. For added convenience, the optional 1.7-foot3 (48-liter) mini fridge keeps food and drinks cool.

    Go Off-Grid With Solar Power

    The optional Off-Grid Solar Package transforms the 12RK into the ultimate boondocking trailer for those who want to explore beyond traditional campgrounds. This package includes two 200-watt roof-mounted solar panels for a total of 400 watts, a 2000-watt pure sine wave inverter, and a Victron MPPT solar controller, allowing adventurers to stay powered up no matter where they roam.

    Built For The Journey

    The Spark LE 12RK offers extensive customization options, allowing travelers to tailor their trailer to their needs. Choose between two awning options: a 270-degree Batwing Awning or a 6.5-ft (2-m) manual awning with LED lighting for added shade and shelter. An optional Thule roof rack system provides extra storage for bikes, kayaks, or other outdoor gear. The frame-integrated rear 2-in. (5-cm) accessory receiver with a 250-lb (113-kg) capacity expands storage possibilities, making it easy to pack additional equipment.

    Climate control options include an optional British thermal unit furnace, an 8,000-BTU wall-mounted air conditioner, and a tankless on-demand water heater, ensuring year-round comfort. The dual 20-lb (9-kg) liquid propane tanks provide ample fuel for extended trips, while the manual rear stabilizers and Keyed-Alike locking system add convenience and security.

    Built For Every Explorer

    According to Ember founder and CEO Ashley Bontrager, the Spark LE 12RK was created to offer a lightweight, accessible trailer without sacrificing features or durability. "This micro trailer series expands Ember’s customer base to even more diverse camping styles, introducing our brand to a new audience," she says.

    Whether you’re a weekend camper or a seasoned adventurer, the Ember E-Series Spark LE 12RK is designed to take you wherever your journey leads. With rugged off-road capabilities, off-grid power options, and modern comfort features, this compact trailer proves that great things come in small packages.
