In August 2023, LG Labs – South Korean tech giant’s marketing platform focused on delivering innovative products – released Bon Voyage at Wanderlust Korea in Seoul. The 20-square-meter, two-story open structure was conceived with diagonal corridors, ergonomic stairs, and built-in elements to study housing culture trends. Fast-forward five months and LG Labs has upgraded the first version of its Bon Voyage into a camping trailer.
Readied to bewilder the world at CES 2024, the LG trailer is designed to reflect the various voices of customers. It forms part of the company’s lineup of innovative and pioneering new products for Vegas.
LG is not an architecture firm, nor is it aligned with the idea of solving housing woes. But that’s not an image the electronics giant probably wants to go with into 2024. In 2023, thus, LG came out with not one but two mobile housing projects. After the Bon Voyage, LG Smart Cottage – a prefabricated, energy-efficient tiny house – was unveiled at the IFA in Berlin.
Developed with a concoction of natural materials, HVAC systems, and solar capabilities, LG Smart Cottage was made with low-carbon steel materials. This could ideally be the construction material of the new Bon Voyage. There is no information on this, but at least the image (above) depicts our hunch could have a substance.
There may not be clarity on the construction material of the upgraded Bon Voyage, but what is evident from the LG press brief is that it is a customized living space that can extend the home comfort out into the nature. For this, the trailer can be easily parked in your driveway or connected to a car for a trip out into the wilderness.

The camping trailer is 7 feet high, 6.5 feet wide, and measures over 12 feet in depth. The cozy living space, of this perfectly sized trailer, featuring a fully functional kitchen is optimized for utilization and mobility. LG trailer is packed with the company’s stunning appliances and high-end furniture including a bed. The kitchen in the rear hatch is provided with an electric stove, water purifier, and refrigerator.
LG has this knack of fashioning its intermittently unveiled tiny living units for the off-grid, embedding alternative sources of energy – primarily solar panels – and fresh and gray water resources. This reflects that the new LG compact dwelling could have energy-efficient features added to the plan when it rolls out. Before we make conclusions, let’s wait until the LG keynote at CES to have more insight on the Bon Voyage 2.0.
