The Easiest Towing Experience & Our 12 Favorite Tow Vehicles
If you are going to explore the national parks and amazing off-grid locations, you need an RV that is easy to tow and drive. Like you, we understand why towing or driving extremely large vehicles could seem scary and overwhelming. After all, you want to spend your leisure time exploring, not worrying. While this is absolutely the case with monstrous RVs and other towables like Airstreams, it is simply not true with a Bowlus. Towing a Bowlus is truly a breeze. Our owners think so too. Read their testimonials for their first-hand experience.
Here are the reasons why the Bowlus is the easiest full-sized travel trailer to tow:
- Aerodynamics & Shape: The Bowlus has a truly aerodynamic shape meaning superb handling in crosswinds & when traversing mountains.
- Center of Gravity: The Bowlus has a low center of gravity which is important for general handling such as quick lane changes & driving in high winds.
- Lightweight: The Bowlus is so incredibly lightweight (up to 3,000 lbs lighter than comparable length travel trailers). It means that you can tow with almost any vehicle and that you’ll be able to accelerate & stop quickly as needed.
- Width: With the Bowlus you have a clear path of vision down both sides, making lane changes or pull-ins a breeze. The Bowlus tracks directly behind your vehicle, so you don’t need extension mirrors, and there is no worry of not getting through narrow passages.
- Sustainability Friendly: Large behemoth RVs cannot be towed by electric vehicles and they make your gas mileage or range dismal. This is not the case with a Bowlus. In fact, our owners report getting over 30 mpg while towing with their Bowlus and up to 235 miles per charge with a Tesla X.
- Backing Up: Big RV’s can be stressful to back up and can leave you feeling embarrassed in front of the whole campsite. The Bowlus so easy to back up, getting into that perfect spot. It’s just that easy.
