    Boreas Campers EOS12

    EOS-12 Cold Limit? EOS-12 owners, what is the clodest temps you have used your rig? Did you use the kitchen water? Did you have water in your toilet reservoir? I'm going to be heading out into lows in the 25*F to 30*F. I know I have the tank heaters on the water and grey tanks. I'm concerned...

    Kimberley Kampers USA

    Congrats! You chose wisely. I had recommended the Karavan with bunk beds in your other thread. Of course I tried to hook you up with the used one under $60k. Lol! Enjoy! Sent from my SM-S926U using Tapatalk

    Talk to me about insulated canvas

    I have a Boreas EOS-12. Slightly less canvas height all the way around then the Arktos I believe. If I had the option for insulated canvas I would. It's not a necessity but will be better in both hot and cold conditions.

    New Patriot Campers ST5 Super Tourer

    I like this a lot. It is a slightly smaller version of my Boreas EOS-12 with some refinements I'd like to have. If only I had $115K. :-)

    Our EOS 11.5

    The fire pit is a Howl Campfire. It is the nuclear option of propane fire pit. Not cheap in any way but in my opinion the most complete propane fire solution available. Unlike most propane fire pits, it actually radiates heat around it instead of just sending all the heat straight up in a big...

    Our EOS 11.5

    That's awesome you have the prototype. I have the 2022 demo unit. Honestly I think the clamshell roof might be better and solve the one main issue I have had. The pop-top roof on mine has enough movement on rough road and trail that I have broken 4 roof latches. The movement just stresses the...

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    Good to know they can't handle much weight unless vertical. I always try to setup with the suspension on the bumps and only enough air in one side to level. If I need a lot of air to level I will throw my wedge ramp in to minimize. This is mostly because the air bag pressure does fluctuate if...

    Trying to figure out which trailer to buy - Family of 4

    Are you willing to consider a used high end trailer that it sounds like you would probably not be willing to pay for new? There is a 2014 Kimberley Karavan on here for sale right now. Under $60k and brand new it would cost you $100k+ at today's prices. New it was probably $80k+. Unused bunk bed...

    Howl Campfire

    I have not had any of the other higher output (60,000 BTU) propane fires to compare burn rate. I was pretty happy with getting 13+ hours out of a 20lb tank running both the A-Flame on a visible but low setting and the Barcoals. That will cover several of my normal trips when it is cold out. It...

    Howl Campfire

    I 100% understand what you are saying. I felt the same way initially and moved on looking at all the other options and trying to figure out a good way to solve their main shortcoming, getting heat out to you without having to stand over it. I thought about fabricating various heat deflectors but...

    Howl Campfire

    If you have the vertical room where you are packing it, it is designed to nest with a 20lb propane tank and strap together. It acts as a kickstand and more stable support for the tank. Then it has additional strap loop built in the strap it down. I throw the Howl in my trailer and strap the...

    Howl Campfire

    They have specifically said they chose not to do folding legs for durability but the market may convince them to change their mind. I will say the fixed leg design is a rock solid unit. I'm not worried about bumping it around or bouncing it down the trail. They have videos of them baja jumping...

    Howl Campfire

    This seems like the right location for this topic but if not let me know. I thought people might be interested in a really cool propane campfire option I decided to pull the trigger on. First, yes, it is very expensive at first glance. I am not affiliated with Howl in anyway. I just simply made...

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    Storage wise it isn't small but I just carry it in the trailer. It's clean. No residual ash or fire rock dust. I carry the propane tank in the back of the truck strapped down. I could also use the trailers propane tanks but then I would have to keep taking the trailer regulator on/off. It's no...

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    The D035 bolts to a flat plate between the tongue frame rails. Seems like adding a bolted down block spacer would work fine to raise coupler height since I can only get so much additional tire lift. Limiting factor on raising it up on a solid block is at extreme pitch angles, when will the hitch...

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    We took a trip to the Kofa Wildlife Refuge this past weekend with our EOS-12. Towed the rig into an awesome campsite on a 4/10 onX rated trail. Past our campsite probably would have gotten a bit too tight and twisty for our full length rig (Ram 2500 Power Wagon and EOS-12) but the section we...

    Boreas Campers EOS12

    FRP bolts would definitely work and probably the best option if you really need to hold some significant weight. Only drawback is putting a hole all the way through the wall.
