Boreas Campers has been designing and building offroad camper trailers in Colorado since 2015. When founder and owner Matt Reichel left the construction industry to travel full time in an RV he learned first hand why it’s best to camp off the grid, and when he settled down he knew what features needed to be on a camper built for that purpose.
From the beginning, all Boreas Campers models have had a rugged chassis built with 3×2-inch tube steel that is laser cut and powder coated. The frame is specifically designed around independent, offroad suspension, compared to other manufacturers that have offroad suspension ‘upgrades’ on their standard chassis. Having this foundation ensures all units can tackle any terrain thrown at them. For the DIY builder, they sell 16 and 20-foot chassis for you to build your own camper on.
Boreas Campers has been a pioneer in the offroad camper space, starting with a move to composite panels in 2018. Removing wood from the construction of the camper means owners don’t need to worry about rotting, warping or mold from water intrusion. And the lightweight panels offer incredible insulation from both heat and cold.

Boreas Campers was also the first US manufacturer to install Cruisemaster suspension standard on all models. Cruisemaster has been building the best offroad trailer suspension for 40 years in Australia and they make the campers tow beautifully on and off the highway.
With three models to choose from, there are options for every setup. With the same heavy-duty chassis, independent suspension, and composite panel construction as the XT, the AT is a great way to access the backcountry on a budget. Pick and choose the features of the XT that you want, nothing more.
A full kitchen, water and propane, solar and battery, hot shower, awning, roof rack, full size spare tire, furnace and more makes the XT the turn-key option for getting off the grid. And at 2,200 lbs dry it’s easily pulled by most mid size SUVs and trucks.
Both the AT and XT boast industry-leading storage and options for carrying toys. Between the oversized toolbox, ample cabin and kitchen cabinets there is 40 sq ft of storage. Add the roof rack with two cross bars, the front hitch receiver that can carry up to three bikes or a 400 lb dirt bike, the optional luggage rack on top of the toolbox, the MOLLE board on the spare tire holder and the rear hitch receiver, and it’s tough to find a toy that won’t fit.
Sleeping for four, with ample headroom with the roof open and a slim size when closed, the EOS-12 can be outfitted with up to 1000w of solar and 1080ah of lithium batteries to make adventuring off-grid in comfort easier than ever. And the four season capabilities of this model makes the fun last year-round. Recently voted the best offroad camper by Outside Magazine, this unit has a 3,750 lb dry weight that makes it nimble enough to access hard-to-reach spots.
With a founder experienced in both construction and off-grid camping, a focus on innovation, and a simple but user-friendly layout and design, all models from Boreas Campers will make accessing and enjoying the great outdoors a breeze. Because in the end that’s what it’s all about.
