Trailer Hybrid Model EOS-12

Tracks Boreas Campers Introduces Off-Road Trailer Hybrid Model EOS-12

By Maggie Reichel, Marketing Director, Boreas Campers

In 2018, the company transitioned to building with composite and metal materials, removing all wood. This resulted in a lighter, more rigid, longer-lasting camper that will not rot or warp when exposed to moisture. Boreas Campers remains one of only a handful of teardrop manufacturers in North America that are not built with wood.

Boreas Campers is an off-road camper trailer manufacturer based in Denver, Colo. They have been building rugged, off-grid campers in America since 2015. Established while the owner, Matt Reichel, was living on the Boreas Pass in Breckenridge, Colo., these campers have always been tested in the playground of the Rocky Mountains.

Since the company was founded, all units have been built to be the toughest off-road camper trailer available. With powdercoated steel chassis, all-terrain tires, and independent suspension for maximum ground clearance, these units are meant to be taken off the beaten path. The Boreas XT is a ‘squaredrop’ model that is the company’s flagship: a fully turnkey backcountry basecamp. With social distancing at the forefront of people’s minds the last 18 months, the campers have provided scores of isolated, but comfortable, adventures for owners.

At 16 feet long, the unit includes a Queen-sized bed in the cabin, an oversized toolbox up front, and a fully outfitted galley kitchen. The cabin boasts ample storage, a forced air furnace, Maxxair fan, LED lights, and a charging station for 12V and USBs. The kitchen comes with stainless steel sink and countertops, a twoburner stove, and Truma C60 cooler. Other standard items include

In 2021, Boreas Campers became the first North American manufacturer to install Cruisemaster suspension standard on all units. Cruisemaster has been setting the standard for offroad towing performance in Australia for 40 years, and Boreas Campers is excited to partner with them to bring their expertise to the US. The XT comes with Cruisemaster’s CRS2 suspension and DO35 hitch, a drop-on 3.5-ton articulating all-terrain pin coupling.

While the XT is perfect for getting far off the grid, Boreas Campers saw the demand for a larger unit that would allow for standing up inside, a wet bath, and interior sleeping for more people. The EOS-12 is the answer. Coming to the market in early 2022, the four-season EOS-12 will keep the same rugged features Boreas Campers is known for, including the heavy-duty chassis, suspension and tires, but with a larger cabin and state of the art technology and outfitting.

The EOS-12 will come standard with Cruisemaster XT air suspension, which will auto-level with the use of the Garmin Fusion operating system. This will also track fresh and grey water tank capacity, battery levels and control the cabin temperature, speakers, and lights.

The cabin of the EOS-12 includes a permanent queen bed, a dinette area the table of which will fold to support the cushions that will create the double bed, and an optional fold-down bunk where a fifth person could sleep. The wet bath includes a cassette toilet and an instant hot water shower. The pop-top roof will raise the standing height to six feet six inches. A pass-through pantry will allow access to dry food from both inside and outside the cabin.

The outdoor kitchen of the EOS-12 will be a real treat in the backcountry. With a stainless-steel sink with hot and cold water, three-burner stove, a fold-down table, and C96 dual-zone Truma fridge/freezer, this camper has everything needed to make a gourmet meal off the grid. A 270-degree awning will cover the full length of the kitchen as well as the entry door at the rear of the unit.

The unit also includes 300 watts of solar from Zamp Obsidian ultra-thin glass panels, 200ahs of lithium batteries, a water filtration system, dual 20 lbs. propane tanks, 50 gallons of freshwater, 25 gallons of greywater, and heated tanks and lines to allow for all-season camping. The unit will have a dry weight of 3500 lbs. making it lighter than other off-road competitors.

The inspiration for the name EOS-12 came from the Greek goddess Eos, the mother of Boreas, and the length of the cabin, which is 12 feet long. Eos is the personification of the dawn and is usually represented as a woman rising from the sea in a chariot drawn by winged horses. Boreas also happens to be the Greek god of winter and the North Wind. Boreas Campers are excited to continue the theme of strong, mythical deities to inspire a new era of adventures.

Boreas Campers owner Matt Reichel says, “We are excited to debut the EOS-12 Hybrid and reach a new market including individuals and families who want to get off the beaten path for their adventures, but want the comfort of a vehicle that will allow them to stand up and utilize the indoor wet bath.”
