The Heritage edition packs a lot of luxury into a compact space—and it’s equipped to venture off-grid for a week and a half at a time.

The Heritage Edition luxury travel trailer by Bowlus is clad with riveted aluminum and is marked by a satin silver finish. Customers can also opt for a matte black finish or a satin grey one.

Bowlus just debuted a new aluminum-clad camper that touts many of the amenities of its luxury travel trailers with a lighter wight of 3,500 pounds, and a lower starting price of $159,000. The brand says it also packs a battery system with enough capacity to venture off-grid for up to a week and a half at a time. "You can be spontaneous and choose your own adventure," says Bowlus CEO Geneva Long. "You can stay at a hip camp one night, near a winery another night, and with friends on their property the next."

Clad in satin-silver aluminum, the Heritage edition pays tribute to the company’s original 1934 trailer designed by company founder Hawley Bowlus, who also helped build the Spirit of St. Louis aircraft that Charles Lindbergh piloted on the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight. That design lineage shows in the trailer’s riveted exterior and monocoque construction, which echoes the form of vintage planes and race cars.

The compact kitchen is sectioned from the dining-and-living area and features high-end appliances.
