The bumper gives you a clear visual and physical reference for the rear of your Bowlus. The camera gives you precise awareness of everything behind you. Together, they replace the old two person routine of stopping, getting out, checking, and repeating. You make small, accurate adjustments from the driver’s seat instead.
When you want to go further, the Maneuvering Package and AeroMove complete the experience. Arrive with confidence, unhitch with ease, and place your Bowlus exactly where you want it, even in campsites and storage spaces where a tow vehicle cannot give you the right angle.
Solo travelers, owners who arrive after dark, anyone who camps at tight or unimproved sites, and owners who want the most refined arrival experience available on any luxury travel trailer.

Hi, I’m Geneva Long, CEO of Bowlus, and today I want to highlight one of the most quietly transformative features of the latest Bowlus trailers, the Maneuvering Package. This package was designed for one moment every trailer owner knows well, the arrival, the tight campsite, the narrow driveway, the awkward charging stop, the moment where stress can creep in and confidence can disappear. The Maneuvering Package eliminates that moment.
At its core, the package brings together two elements that work seamlessly as one system, a purpose-built rear bumper and an integrated backup camera. Simple on paper, completely different in real life. Let’s start with the bumper. Unlike traditional RV bumpers that feel bulky or bolted on as an afterthought to house that stinky slinky, the Bowlus bumper was designed as part of the trailer. It follows that aerodynamic lines of the aluminum shell and integrates cleanly into the rear profile without disrupting performance or aesthetics. This bumper gives you clear, consistent reference point when backing up. You know exactly where the rear of your Bowlus is at all times.
Now, pair that bumper with the backup camera, and the camera provides a clear, wide view directly behind the trailer. From the driver’s seat, you can see obstacles, curbs, posts, picnic tables, or people moving through a campsite. You can see how close you are and make small, precise adjustments instead of stopping repeatedly to get out and check. This is especially valuable when you’re traveling solo or arriving in the dark. The Maneuvering Package turns what was once a two-person job into a confident one-person experience, and this reflects a bigger philosophy at Bowlus.
Every feature is designed around independence and ease of use. You should feel just as confident arriving at a luxury campground as you do pulling into a remote off-grid site. Maneuvering should never be the hardest part of the journey. And if you want to take maneuvering even further, this package pairs beautifully with Bowlus AeroMove. AeroMove allows you to move your Bowlus with precision once you’re unhitched. This is especially helpful in extremely tight campsites, storage spaces, or locations where a tow vehicle simply cannot give you the angle you need.
Instead of relying on the momentum or repeated adjustments, you can position your trailer exactly where you want it, inch by inch. When combined with the rear bumper and the backup camera, AeroMove completes the maneuvering experience. You arrive with confidence, unhitch with ease, and place your Bowlus perfectly. When you step back and look at the full picture, the Maneuvering Package is not just about backing up, it is about removing friction at this exact moment that you arrive, and that is the Bowlus approach to engineering.
