Boreas Campers EOS12

[Spencer for Hire]

Did you happen to ask whether it will be side entry? Switching to interior kitchen across the back, with a door on curb side would make this very interesting to me. I don’t like the current rear entry or, really, the outdoor kitchen, pass-through cabinet, add‘l bench section- basically that whole corner of the current layout.

Here is what he said when I asked for pictures:

"I do not have photos yet, as we are just starting the prototype.

Trailer will still be around 3,700lb, but will start at $69,990. We will have an inside kitchen option now, which will take the place of the drivers side seating. The inside kitchen option will be $6,500. We have switched from Garmin to an ECOflow electrical system, which has been much better and easier for us and the end customer."

Just out of curiosity why don't you like the rear entry door?

I corresponded with him. You were right it's just a prototype. He should change his comments to "will be offering" instead of "now offering".

Sorry, will be offering. We are taking deposits though and are about 60 days out on delivery, so technically we are offering it. The design is hardly changing at all. Just going from pop up to hard sided with the option of the inside kitchen, which would take away the driver's side dinette seating.

Thank You. Please post some pictures when the product is complete. Also, are you folks building out the hard shell yourselves or is some or all of the shell being sub-contacted out?

Thanks. Are those walls something like Total Composted? What will be the R Value when you are complete?

I believe they are a composite FRP type panel. Not sure the R value but they are quite think. Top of the line for sure.

Thank You, Do you know what other campers/trailers use it?

Pause Reboot, Xplore X195, Kingdom Camping, Arkto and many others use some type of composite (FRP) panels. My Trail Marker use honeycomb frp only 3/4 inch thick. Very light but minimal insulation. Boreas and others go 1.5 to 3" thick. Much better insulation but heavier.

Not a custom size, but taller than the last EOS door, so do not have to duck anymore (at least I don't---LOL).

The walls are FRP skins with XPS foam in the middle. 1.8 inches thick. Around an R-7-8 value.
