The Australian camping trailer market is on the rise, to the extent that a locally developed model is now making its way across the seas to be sold in the United States. The Iconn E4 XK, taking this ambitious leap, is no ordinary camping trailer. It embodies Lifestyle Campers’ iconic Aussie legacy and delivers a compelling combination of compact form factor and spacious layout, which is enough to accommodate up to five members of a family or a group of friends on an overland adventure.
Iconn E4 XK distinguishes itself from other trailers on two accounts. Its layout adaptability to user requirements, and an external kitchen with access to the gourmet-level kitchen inside, which spans almost the entire side of the camper. The industry-defining kitchen makes this a wholesome facility on wheels you would want to cook and live in as a family.

Before we proceed into the details, the images you’ll see and the features we will list are from the model touring the Australian wilderness. The variant of the Iconn E4 XK that makes it through to the U.S. via Lifestyle Campers’ American distributor XGrid Campers, may vary from the company with the American norms. However, that is, the camping trailer will continue to have a spacious kitchen and a sleeping facility for up to five people, along with its off-grid and off-roading abilities.
Dubbed the “ultimate Hypercamper for adventurers who refuse to compromise,” the Iconn E4 XK features a galvanized steel chassis, a Cruisemaster ATX Stage 3 airbag suspension system, along with 33-in off-road tires. Along with being apt to take on all types of terrains, Lifestyle has ensured that its trailer is off-grid ready with a 350W rooftop solar system, 300Ah lithium battery, and a 3,000W inverter taking care of the power needs and an onboard 240L fresh water tank catering to the water needs of the fancy kitchen and a functional bathroom.
The Iconn E4 XK kitchen comprises four large compartments that occupy the entire single side wall of the trailer. The two main compartments directly in front of the entrance door contain the induction cooktop and the sink alongside a wooden cutting board. Overhead storage fills the space above the countertop, while the adjacent 40-L EvaKool drawer fridge offers additional workspace on top. There is additional storage space both under and above the long counter, which accommodates the electrical system and also makes room for the washing machine. Interestingly, an additional 175L fridge and freezer combo resides just inside the entrance so it’s accessible from the outside as well.
Like the utilitarian kitchen, the bathroom is not as spacious, but it does have room for a toilet and a shower. What really makes the Iconn E4 XK stand out is the sleeping layout. In addition to the main queen bed up front, which is accompanied by a nightstand and reading lamp, Lifestyle allows users to complete the layout to their choice of sleeper. Opposite the kitchen, the users can choose a dinette/lounge cum bed layout for three, or a dinette with bunk bed layout, if four people are onboard. When a facility for five is required, one can choose the triple bunk bed layout. It is also provided in a compact 22.6-foot layout starting at AU$87,950. In America, the Iconn E4 XK is expected to start at about $77,000 mark.
