Bowlus Road Chief Endless Highways Performance Edition Can Last Two Weeks Off Grid

We’ve covered a few of Bowlus’ expanding line of hand-made travel trailers over the past couple of years. The Endless Highways appeared last year, building on the Road Chief, the first Bowlus to come down the pike in the decades.

The company is a reboot of a travel-trailer company founded by W.H. Bowlus in the 1930s. The original Road Chief was manufactured in the years before WWII, and it is this spirit the minds behind the company reboot desire to tap into as they market their particular vision of the romance of highway travel.

The Endless Highways followed, a Streamline riff on that romance, and a literate paean to the considerable romance of late 1960s ideals concerning the peripatetic lifestyle, and/or the metaphors it engenders—Endless Highway is, after all, a song by Bob Dylan and The Band. And the Endless Highways Wave followed that, tossing a nautical motif or two into the mix for good measure.

It can’t be doubted that effecting an escape from a virus, or anything else, would be a comfortable proposition in a Bowlus creation. To boost the trailer’s potential, the company’s newest addition to the series can sustain solo travel for up to two weeks. It’s called the Endless Highways Performance Edition.

The performance is mainly in the improved battery power. The edition comes outfitted with an 8 kWh pack; its electrical capacity is 600 Ah/7680Wh, enough to power a full complement of electrical items for fourteen days, twice the capacity of the original Endless Highways. And if you’re driving an electric car or hybrid, the trailer’s battery can—with a full charge—give it up to 16 miles of range if things get difficult.

The Performance Edition adds a 20% price premium to the Endless Highways. It is priced from $225K.
