    It's a nice (but pretty small) trailer, and at this price, the target buyer is who, exactly? At $137K for the base, why would a buyer be concerned about towing with a smaller vehicle? For the same money or less, you could buy a very capable full-size pickup or SUV and a larger and better-equipped Airstream.

    This was not a review! Did she say that the company wanted to get people out of the city and off the grid? I guess charging 200K for a camper pulled along by a Bentley speaks to their target audience. Not something for the conscious minded working stiff. Whose dumb idea was it to start doing covert informercials any?

    These are beautiful looking trailers, but that price point is ridiculous! It’s as much as an actual house! I think if you’re appealing to the wealthy, they’d probably spend their money on a Prevost RV, not a small trailer. Where do the super wealthy go camping?

    Right, target audience is definitely the wealthy, but consider what people spend on a V8 tow vehicle for a $80+k airstream. The base edition isn’t nearly as bad at around $150k. A family can safely tow this with their existing minivan, 2300lbs and a low center of gravity. How many used airstreams are there on the market and how many of these Bowlus RCs? Zilch. Long term value. Our 1934 still rolls beautifully. No glue, real wood. Google what the last old one sold for.

You can spend 53k on an Oliver Travel Trailer which is a real off the grid trailer. It's just a retro toy to say I have one. Yea, if you have 200k to spend, your not going to be camping in this thing, but instead get a suite with a hot top. This thing is joke.

    You can buy a hell of a nice motor home for that price. Don't know who would be interested in buying this overpriced trailer. Only making 50. Good luck getting it repaired. That rear end looks super fragile. I can picture an owner backing that pointy end into something. It would probably just be a collectors item. Hang onto it for 50 years if you live that long.

    Nice but very overpriced, especially for something that let’s face it is copying the original Airstream. Some great features but I’d get an Airstream over this any day. To me Airstream interiors are far nicer they’re also far more aerodynamic. The flat end of the Bowlus is towed into the wind which is as unaerodynamic and un-fuel efficient as it possibly could be, what’s with that?!… Especially for what you’re paying you get two bunks at the narrow end like a small boat…really?!..
