Isn’t beating a trailer to death an expected level of use for an overland trailer? With other builders offering lifetime chassis warranties, no way would I touch one of these.

If the mpg is actually as good as the ratings, I’ll probably dump my Defender and get an LC in ‘25 once initial market demand burns off. It’s pretty much all about the mpg for me. The oil companies are taking too much out of my pocket every time I take a long trip with the camper.

What kind of warranty?

Many of the subsidies for extractive energy industries are not available to other industries, and they are more than substantial. There’s a reason Europeans pay 2-3 times what we pay for gas and heating oil. We just pay for it differently and don’t realize it...

I’ve attached several of the net pockets to the walls in the EOS and before that in our XT. I’m sure Adam can give advice on max load, but I’ve never had any issues with the net pockets coming loose with their standard wood screws. The walls are plenty strong enough for that kind of light...

Well that certainly cleared things up.

May want to use some punctuation if your intent is to communicate with the group. I have no idea what you’re saying.

Still interested in seeing how this turns out. OP seems to have gone quiet.

There’s nothing unique about huge markups in trailers vs any other imported product. It’s all a matter of scale, warranty requirements, and risk. For a small scale business like trailers, and in particular a niche market like off-road trailers, an importing business has to make enough margin...

This is one entertaining peanut gallery. I’m sure they haven’t thought about sway at all. And people back into trees all the time with their 100K trailers. Must happen every day. I guess it’s fun to poke holes in every new thing that comes along.

We are a bunch of curmudgeons aren’t we.

It’s obviously not made to go anywhere off pavement, but if they can actually deliver these things for $110K - $125K as advertised, that’s pretty amazing. A lot of wattage and technology for that price. Now if they make one that could take beating. The thing is far too civilized for my taste...

Get yourself one of these and siphon it from the bucket directly into the grey water drain. AQUANEAT Aquarium Siphon, Fish Tank Siphon, Aquarium Vacuum, Aquarium Water Changer, Gravel Cleaner for Fish Tank (Large) https://a.co/d/iXk56bP

We camped at cape lookout for five days and just ran a hose into a trench in the sand. It’s just sink water with biodegradable detergent and we put all food scraps in the trash so not a problem. Otherwise, we’d put it in a bucket and use hand squeeze siphon pump and hose to drain right into...

I’ll probably be the first buyer for the Boreas EOS cover. Should be ready soon.

Here’s the rain gutter. Just need to attach some Velcro tape to the trailer frame so the gutter lays across the gap with the awning. Vispronet 20.0 ft Tent Gutter for Vispronet Pop Up Tents (20.0ft Side) https://a.co/d/gdf5ilv

I have a couple of acopower 120 portables that came with their own controllers and feed them through the Zamp plug. Easy peasy.

We got our EOS with the Laveo toilet, and are very happy with it. I don’t know if the wrappon is available now, but they generally are not usable in a wet bath. We still have our portable wrappon from our xt days, and it is an amazing little unit. The Laveo is great though because it allows...

That doesn’t look too bad. I was thinking the class b covers look pretty similar. Still, might bite the bullet and get a custom fit from CalMark since I plan to use it for a while and want a nice tight fit.

I also found a great solution for the rain that gets between the awning and the trailer. Velcro rain gutter material made just for this. Putting some Velcro tape on the metal frame alongside the awning and then just lay the material so it overlaps the awning. Dry kitchen and entryway now.
