The Bowlus Road Chief trailers pioneered portable camping culture, as they have been around since 1934. The all-aluminum travelers, have been upstaged in recent years by enormous RVs and luxury campers, but now they are back to reclaim their fame. The Bowlus Road Chief is re-entering the market as a $100,000 luxury trailer.
The futuristic style is made to promote a feeling of a boundless future and aerodynamic travel. Even the windows are curved to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. In addition, everything from the propane tank to the air-conditioning unit is tucked away inside its strong shell. Though it looks minimal, the design of this trailer packs a punch -- along with all of your belongings. Bikes and kayaks even have a place within the interior of the capsule-like camper.
