I love to quality of the construction, the bathroom is very clever, the kitchen for someone like myself that loves to cook is lacking. The induction stove is fine but there is no oven just a microwave. For me that would be unacceptable. There is no awning for outside shade while camping. This vehicle is for traveling to the outdoors, so where are the features to enjoy the outdoors? Fantastic quality, but you need to work on some features. You claim because of the efficiency you could be off grid for two weeks but you only have 20 gallons of fresh water. With that refrigerator you would run out of food. I don't see a way to haul camping chairs or the BBQ you say you could hood up to the outside propane optional equipment. The furniture does look comfortable, great for early morning and night but again how is this designed to enjoy the outdoors you hauled it to?
We did not demo it in this video, but the Bowlus features an optional awning that attaches to a rail on either side of the trailer. We agree - this is an important feature for being able to enjoy the outdoors.
For those who are used to long off grid camping trips, your tow vehicles are always utilized for additional water, misc storage and non-refrigerated food stuff. Just be mindful of your gear and stay within the weight limits of your tow vehicle. Also, items like folding chairs, hiking/biking/ski gear, grill, etc can be easily secured inside while on the road. My son's Rivian has a Gear Tunnel and my SUV has plenty of extra space, no problem. I don't see how anything other than your need for an oven as being an issue with off grid camping in a Bowlus. Perhaps a solar oven? I've never used one so if anyone else with experience could help you out there it would be nice. I use a cast iron Dutch oven and the campfire for biscuits, cornbread, bread and other "baked" recipes. I know that the Bowlus is super well-made luxury++ compared to camping to a solar AirStream that's been modified for longer off-grid camping trips.
Not a bad little unit. I would like to see a back up camera option and perhaps a security camera mount offered from the factory at this price. It would also be great for some type of outdoor kitchen option so you don't have to cook inside the camper if you are cooking fish or seafood. It already has the propane just need cooking surface and perhaps a water connection to enjoy outside cooking and entertaining.
Thanks for the kind words. We find auto-leveling jacks to be one of the common points of failure on RVs, so we go with hand-crank stabilizers instead. Because the Bowlus is so lightweight and easy to maneuver - with a hitch weight under 200 lbs and an adjustable jockey wheel - getting the Bowlus level is super easy.

Gorgeous

Great video and very informative. Just wondering if the jacks are auto-level for setting it up. The future of small TT's for sure.

Very informative! I love how it does not weight that much. It’s great for an EV.
Could have shown more of the bathroom and have Geneva voiceover instead.
Many more photos available here: bowlus.com/terra-firma
Beautiful.
Thank you!
The inside tour starts at 12:45!
A masterpiece! Do other models like the Rivet have the air system in the toilet cabin?
I really enjoyed this video. She has a very pleasant voice. Nice job on the narration.
What happens when you have a fire and you can't get out the only door are there any Escape hatches you didn't specify
We build all Bowlus travel trailers to RVIA Standards & Regulations. The Bowlus has an emergency exit hatch in the shower.
220k hellna nice looking though
Wow
WOW! That is one ugly exterior, but I like the interior
