What is the "70° Year-Round" travel concept?

Based on mapping by climatologist Brian Brettschneider, these routes are designed to keep travelers in spring-like 70° weather every day of the year. It is a philosophy of "slow magic"—following the seasons to experience the full rhythm of the North American landscape without the stress of extreme temperatures.

What are the three primary routes for a 70° adventure?

There are three main itineraries designed to capture perfect weather: The Coastal Route: A 12-month, 7,500-mile counter-clockwise loop covering the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The Interior Route: A 7,000-mile journey from deep South Texas to the Canadian border through the Rockies and Plains. The Grand US/Canada Loop: An ambitious route crossing into the Arctic edge of Canada and Alaska, prioritizing non-interstate highways.

What does the monthly itinerary look like for the Coastal Route?

Jan–March: Start in Tampa, FL, moving north through Jacksonville to the North Carolina border. April–May: Travel through the cherry blossoms of Philadelphia to Boston. June: A "big push" (2,400 miles) west through Detroit and Montana to stay ahead of the heat. July–August: Enjoy Pacific breezes in Seattle and head south down the Oregon Coast. Sept–Oct: Move through Idaho and the Utah desert into Albuquerque, NM. Nov–Dec: Transition to Phoenix and end the year in San Diego/Los Angeles.

Can you outline the "Grand US/Canada & Alaska" loop?

This is the most ambitious 70° trip, covering desert beauty and boreal wilderness: Jan–March: Southwest desert travel from San Diego to Wichita Falls, TX. April–May: Sweep through the Blue Ridge Parkway into the Midwest (Wisconsin/Minnesota). June: The "Wild Month"—a 3,400-mile journey north to Winnipeg, Edmonton, and the Top of the World Highway to Fairbanks, AK. July–August: Turn south through Anchorage, the Yukon Territory, and back into the US via Glacier National Park. Sept–Oct: Meander through Wyoming and Utah, eventually pushing east to Little Rock, AR. Nov–Dec: Complete the loop through the Deep South into Daytona Beach, FL.

Why is a Bowlus uniquely suited for these year-long journeys?

A year-long trip requires a vehicle that offers total independence and effortless handling: Off-Grid Independence: With advanced lithium power, solar charging, and high-capacity water storage, you can boondock in places like the Tetons for a week with zero hookups. Towing Ease: These routes involve winding mountain passes and long prairie stretches. The lightweight, balanced monocoque design of the Bowlus ensures zero sway and easy tracking. Standard Parking Width: At 80 inches wide, the Bowlus can navigate the scenic backroads and small-town farmers' markets that define these routes without the need for extension mirrors.

Does the Bowlus provide enough comfort for 12 months of continuous travel?

The Bowlus is designed for "living beautifully," not just camping. For a year-round journey, features like the spa-like bathroom, chef's galley, heated floors for chilly mountain mornings, and a signature king bed ensure that the trailer remains a grounding, luxurious sanctuary regardless of the landscape outside.

How do I prepare for the "big push" segments of these routes?

Some months, like June, require traveling over 3,000 miles to stay in the 70° weather window. Because the Bowlus is the most aerodynamic and efficient travel trailer in the world, these long-distance legs are much less taxing on your tow vehicle's fuel or battery range compared to traditional, boxy RVs.
