Founder and CEO, Geneva Long, walks through what off grid camping actually means, the difference between off grid and off road, and why most RVs cannot truly do it. The Bowlus is engineered as the gold standard for off grid camping, with the power, water, and connectivity systems built in to stay comfortable for weeks at a time.
What you will see in this video
- What off grid camping (also known as boondocking or dispersed camping) actually means: no electricity, water, or sewer hookups, no campground reservations
- Where to find off grid campsites: state parks, national parks, national forests, and Bureau of Land Management land, plus options like Harvest Hosts and Hipcamp
- Why traditional campgrounds frustrate Bowlus owners: overcrowded, poorly maintained, and tough to book during peak season
- The critical difference between off grid and off road: off road is about where your trailer can go (gravel roads, rugged terrain), off grid is about how long you can stay comfortably once you arrive
- Why most "off grid" RV marketing falls apart in practice, since the air conditioner only works if you run a noisy generator
- How the Bowlus is engineered for true off grid living: large lithium iron phosphate batteries, the Bowlus power management system, AeroSolar charging, and highly efficient appliances designed to run from the battery for extended periods
The Bowlus advantage off grid
Every Bowlus is designed to be fully self sufficient. You can camp off grid for multiple weeks with no need to plug in. The trailer is light and aerodynamic enough to access remote sites that bulky RVs cannot reach, with high ground clearance and an aircraft grade aluminum shell built for gravel roads to Alaska or Newfoundland. And you keep all the luxury: heated floors, a separate bedroom with a king bed, a real bathroom with hot water, and satellite ready connectivity for working remotely from anywhere.
A note on off road vs off grid
Some RV brands advertise "off road" packages, but those are not useful if the trailer cannot operate without hookups. The Bowlus is not built for extreme off road or bouldering (very few RVs are), but it is built for the real world conditions of dispersed camping: rough gravel, remote access, and extended self sufficient stays.
Off grid camping is about going further, staying longer, and experiencing the world on your own terms. With a Bowlus, it is not just possible. It is effortless.
