Shopping Australian-engineered off-road trailers in the US, you'll quickly come across two names: Black Series and MDC. Both bring outback-tested engineering stateside — here's a fair framework for comparing them.
What they have in common
Both brands trace their engineering to Australia, where trailers are built for genuinely harsh off-road conditions, and both offer off-grid travel trailers with real bathrooms, solar power, and rugged suspension designed to leave the pavement.
How they differ
- How you buy: Black Series sells direct, so the full lineup and pricing are transparent online. MDC is sold primarily through a dealer network — that means in-person walkthroughs, but pricing that can vary by dealer.
- Lineup focus: Black Series focuses on hard-sided off-road travel trailers and toy haulers (the HQ and TH series). MDC's range spans pop-up campers through hard-sided trailers.
What to evaluate on any off-road trailer
- Chassis & suspension: look for galvanized steel and independent off-road suspension.
- Off-grid power: solar wattage, battery capacity, and inverter size. Black Series models like the HQ15 ship with a 2000W inverter and solar; the flagship HQ21 carries 800W of solar.
- Water capacity: the HQ19 carries 64 gallons for extended trips.
- Bathroom: confirm a full wet bath — standard across the Black Series range.
- Price transparency & warranty: know the out-the-door price and what after-sale support looks like.
The bottom line
Both are credible off-road choices. If you value transparent direct pricing, a focused hard-sided off-road lineup, and full off-grid systems as standard, Black Series is built for you. Compare specs across the full lineup, or talk to our team at (833) 822-6737.
