Bowlus: First RV Manufacturer to go All-Electric

The Bowlus stands out as the premier electric recreational vehicle, thanks to its striking aerodynamic design and patented monocoque structure. Engineered by Geneva Long and her team, the Bowlus brand offers a lightweight design, with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 pounds depending on the model. This is approximately half the weight of traditional and concept trailers, allowing the Bowlus to be effortlessly towed by a wide variety of electric vehicles for a truly eco-friendly luxury camping experience.

A decade ago, founder Geneva Long foresaw the transition to fully electric RVs as she reinvented the classic riveted aluminum travel trailer, aiming to create a more rejuvenating and less demanding luxury land travel experience that fully immerses users in their surroundings.

The innovative Bowlus Power Management System boasts a capacity of up to 17 kWh (depending on the model) and, when combined with Bowlus Aersolar Solar technology, enables travelers to enjoy self-sufficiency without relying on fossil fuels or campgrounds. This advancement eliminates the last remaining barriers for luxury adventurers. Bowlus has consistently led the industry with groundbreaking features, including the first lithium-powered RV capable of off-grid air conditioning in 2016—a feature still considered conceptual by many competitors.

“Our move to fully electric is important because it sets a precedent,” said Geneva Long, founder and CEO of Bowlus. “Where most RV brands use old technology involving propane and gas or traditional batteries, we are making new ground, just like we always have. Picture yourself enjoying nature without the noise of a generator – it’s a fully immersive experience to be all-electric.”

Established in 1934, Bowlus has a rich history of industry firsts, including the world’s inaugural aluminum-riveted travel trailer. Their distinctive patented design encompasses over-the-air updates, cutting-edge communication systems, indulgent spa-like ensuite amenities, and luxurious bedroom and dining spaces. The brand remains committed to innovation in pursuit of elevating the luxury traveler’s experience.

Bowlus recently unveiled their most accessible offering, the Heritage edition, with a starting price of $159,000, further solidifying their position as a leader in the electric RV market.
