Let’s talk about all-electric towing. An EV is now a reasonable choice as a tow vehicle only if you have an ultra-lightweight and aerodynamic travel trailer which exists only with a Bowlus. We decided to test the comparative range, with the help of Eric of ButterEV, a 2020 Tesla X Long Range Plus (100 kWh…
There’s an interesting trend emerging across the RV industry – a growing number of manufacturers aren’t even making their own RV major components let alone their own RVs anymore. They buy cheap parts from third parties, many of which are sourced outside of North America, and simply are assembled in American factories and in some…
New RVers often think the only thing they need to be concerned about when it comes to a camper’s electrical system is whether it’s 30-amps or 50-amps. But the system powering your RV is more complicated than the number of prongs on your power cable (three for 30-amps, four for 50-amps). In fact, the quality…
At Bowlus, we believe that what’s inside the walls of an RV matters. Even though they’re hidden from view, the quality of the materials used to build your RV can really impact your camping experience. Here’s how. First, let’s talk about the frame because after all, it’s the foundation upon which everything else is built.…
We couldn’t decide which Bowlus we wanted. I know, rough decision, right? Anyway, we decided on a Santa Barbara weekend with a Bowlus visit, and all we can say is WOW! The team at Bowlus knows how to give you a sales experience that isn’t like any RV dealer. I can say this with certainty…
Our stunning Bowlus Volterra arrived today after an easy and, we must say, incredibly pleasurable sales experience – so rare these days. We’re new to camping, and the Bowlus rep was incredibly helpful in guiding us through a decision-making process that was right for us. We loved how they could answer all of our questions,…
What an amazing time I had purchasing my Bowlus Volterra directly from Bowlus. First of all, connecting with an RV salesperson who knows their stuff is so rare, and it is such a pleasure to have a conversation with someone who totally understands your needs. Then, the Zoom appointment was beyond fantastic. I was counting…
Heavier is not always better. This is particularly true when it comes to the number of axles on your RV. Don’t be fooled – many die-hards will tell you that having two or three axles makes the RV safer, but that’s simply not the case. Single-axle RVs are just as safe and easier to tow,…
If you walk through a campground or an RV dealer’s lot, there’s one thing you’ll quickly notice: all the RVs look pretty much the same. Sure, some brands have a little design flourish or swoosh of color here and there, but whether it’s a travel trailer, fifth wheel, or even a motorhome, most RVs look…
If you’ve never towed a travel trailer and the thought of doing so makes you nervous, you’re not alone. It’s a perfectly natural response. But here’s some good news. Ninety percent of our owners had no towing experience prior to purchasing a Bowlus, and they quickly discovered that heading out into the wilderness or a…
