ELKHART, Ind. – Encore RV announced the release of the RŎG 12RK-FB, which features an innovative new front-mounted bath module, according to a press release. Company leaders said when the module is stored, it resembles a front tongue-mounted storage box. In just seconds, however, it can quickly deploy into a spacious wet bath complete with a Thetford cassette toilet and shower.
Based on the company’s best-selling RŎG 12RK and RŎG 12BH platforms, the new FB model brings a fully integrated front bath module to the lightweight, garage-friendly RŎG lineup while maintaining the rugged construction and off-grid capability customers have come to expect from Encore RV, the release continued.
Like every RŎG Adventure Trailer, the RŎG 12RK-FB is built using Encore RV’s exclusive wood-free construction featuring an all-aluminum chassis and frame. Designed for durability and long-term ownership, the trailer combines lightweight towability with premium materials engineered to withstand years of adventure.
The all-aluminum bath module features a high-quality Rip Stop pop-up tent system with zip-down screened windows that provide ventilation and airflow throughout the enclosure. Strong magnetic door closures allow for quick and easy entry while helping simplify setup.
Owners will appreciate the comfort-focused features integrated into the bath module, including ducted heat supplied from the trailer’s 18,000 BTU LP furnace for chilly mornings and cooler camping conditions. An EVA foam mat provides a comfortable, non-slip surface over the powder-coated aluminum shower base.
The RŎG 12RK-FB is equipped with a 43-gallon onboard fresh water tank paired with an on-demand water heater, providing campers with an endless supply of hot water while off-grid. The propane tank and on-demand water heater are securely housed within the front module, maximizing convenience while protecting critical components during travel.
When collapsed for transport, the top of the bath module doubles as a functional cargo platform featuring a built-in railing system designed to secure gear during travel. The rack can even be configured to carry up to two bicycles, adding even more versatility for outdoor enthusiasts.
Despite the list of features, the RŎG 12RK-FB maintains a lightweight footprint with an unloaded vehicle weight of 2,800 pounds and a tongue weight of only 280 pounds. The trailer’s compact, low-profile design makes it easy to tow with many mid-size vehicles while also allowing it to fit inside a standard-size garage. This gives owners the ability to avoid expensive storage fees and makes spontaneous weekend adventures easier than ever.
“Customers have loved the compact versatility of our RŎG 12RK, and the new FB model takes that concept even further by adding a quickly deployable bath module without sacrificing the lightweight, garage-friendly design that made the trailer so popular,” said Encore RV Founder Rich Schnippel. “We wanted to create a true adventure trailer that gives owners the comfort and convenience of a large wet bath while still remaining rugged, simple and easy to use.”
The new RŎG 12RK-FB and 12BH-FB models made their public debut last weekend at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona. Company leaders call consumer response “overwhelmingly positive.” Encore RV reported multiple units sold during the event, along with additional customer orders placed for the new models.
