If they own the plant, why is the same trailer available on alibaba? That’s a bit confusing.

Looks like indoor and outdoor. There’s a video up on YouTube with a bit more info. I actually saw this thing on alibaba a little while ago when I was looking and moved on since I wasn’t interested in an import. Still not.

ROA said on FB their new stealth announcement would be a US made trailer. If it’s this one, then they are probably pulling the old “assembled in US” trick with what is clearly an already alibaba trailer.

Oh man, that would be pretty awesome! I think it’s just about done. Suppose I could head up to Utica and meet halfway but am in Mexico right now.

Alibaba trailer

Looks like the Tribe is yet another Chinese import. Found it on alibaba. ROA said the new hard sided pop up they would announce on FB was US made. Must be different than this one then.

I already don’t like the bed or seating layout, but must admit, the rest is intriguing.

Guess the Tribe EX500 is the stealth product launch that ROA teased about on FB. There are a few videos up on utube, and a product page on ROA but nothing on Tribe’s page yet. Quite the stealthy launch. I guess the trailer industry is getting to be like the arms industry and secrecy is the...

Yes, one of the areas under the bed can be reached inside and out. The other under the bench is inside only.

Have a good drive up and enjoy some time in the ADK if it’s not too crazy cold by then.

I was a bit concerned about storage accessibility in the eos too, but the under seat storage areas are quite large and easily accessible from inside and out. We plan to add a number of stowage nets on the walls for little things, but I quite like the storage as is since it doesn’t take up room...

Will any of you guys really pull something that big up anything more than a fairly well maintained forest road? I know I sure wouldn’t have the guts. Even if I didn’t mind wrecking $100K plus worth of trailer, id find it terrifying and more stressful than it’s worth. I certainly wouldn’t ever...

Will do. I was able to spend some time in an EOS at expo East which confirmed a lot of my assessments of its functionality and design. Also confirmed that we really like a permanent bed as a basic requirement. After dealing with the foldable bed in a rental sprinter we swore we’d never do...

I actually have a ‘23 year model EOS-12 that is ready for pick-up. Should be heading out to Pueblo soon to pick it up. I am an avid mountain and gravel biker too, and mainly want a trailer that can get us away from commercial and park campgrounds. We had a Boreas XT first because the EOS...

300 range will turn into 100 when towing, and 80 towing over mountains in the cold with full load of passengers and gear. Basically useless as a tow vehicle. Going to be a while before those of us who tow can use an EV.

You can go with 275/55R20’s without mods. Lots of people on the various forums can attest. LR even includes a 275/55/20 tire in the recommended winter tire list in the iguide. The GY Adventures get a lot of flak for being weak walled, but they are road biased AT’s and actually handle very...

Might help a bit, but only so much that can do to overcome the limitations of a trailer built primarily for pavement. I wouldn’t expect miracles.

The new video is up mentioning the move to Battleborn and Victron, nixing the Renogy stuff. Seems like a good move, if not a potentially expensive one. Personally, I have no problem with digital and electronic controls when most of the failures I’ve experienced with boats, cars and trailers...

Wow, this is amazing and sad to see. As comparison with a reputable builder, the deposit I put in on two trailers that I have bought in the last few years were less than 10% each with full payment due one month before completion as verified by photos and vin they shared. This is with a...
