Not familiar with those trails but do have a family of four and a bóreas EOS. We don’t take it on true rock crawling style routes, not sure that we could. We do camp off grid about half the time, and this trailer lets us not worry too much about forest service roads/fire roads as we are...

I don’t think so, I have side windows as well from them and the latching mechanism is totally different and seems much more fool proof. The skylight didn’t seem to me an equivalent quality compared to their other offerings. I agree regarding skylights. In general, the less holes in the roof the...

Last few weeks was a little rough on this camper. We had 65+ mph winds and the roof hatch from tern overland was not up to the task. Have been having issues with the struts for awhile now and they were repeatedly popping on and off. Unfortunately the hatch was perpendicular to the wind and I...

ha! good point. I do not like the empty battery spot either

thanks for this, super helpful. Sounds like the geny would have to run for more than an hour or two.

Couple quick overnights into the Nevada desert. Spec in the middle of the first pic is our campers.

Upped the power bank to 300 Ah in total. Hoping that should be enough with the solar for our 3-7 day trips. Otherwise can’t decide on a 4th battery or just giving in and buying a small generator. Anyone have an idea of how quickly a 2000w generator will recharge 300 Ah of batteries? I’m...

Finished the windscreen. didn’t come out quite as I expected but calling it good for now.

Newest project is building a cover and windscreen for the stove. Ours didn’t come with #1 like the final model dead initially didn’t think it would be a big deal but can barely boil water in the wind currently. Almost done just have to add the hinges and a strap to keep it all from rattling on...

I think for your purposes it’s not necessary although it would be nice. Our standard canvas in a Boreas is fine for shoulder season. The truma heater is whisper quiet though which is probably more important in my mind than the insulation because if you have canvas that heater is turning on...

Ha we haven’t run into the rain issue yet here camping in Nevada and California either but will keep that mod in mind!

Love the dresser idea. Yeah that extra cushion area doesn’t seem to get used much with us either. I’m interested to hear how you like it. I don’t hate the clamshell. the person farthest from the door can’t sit up fully in bed but hasn’t been that big of a deal. Which fire pit is that? Been...

Our EOS 11.5 We’ve owned our Boreas for about a year now, and I found this site invaluable when we were trailer shopping over about 4 years. I’m starting this blog mostly for my own entertainment but will post it here to put a little more content about the camper here. I call ours the 11.5...

That’s pretty similar to what we have in my unit. We have a second leg to turn the table into a bed if necessary but rarely use it. Love having the additional space to get to and from the bed easily
