Nestbox Turns Your Car into a Camper
While we’re all for #vanlife and the idea of living in a van down by the river, in the forest or wherever the hell else you want, having a separate, bespoke vehicle that’s only used…
Bowlus Road Chief Endless Highways Camper
A brief history lesson: Back in 1934, the Bowlus Chief Chief made its debut and not long thereafter introduced luxury living on the go. It is, as they say now, the original silver bullet. 85 years on, that hasn’t changed much, but the trailer needs a tune-up. And a tune it has received.
The Bowlus Road Chief Endless Highways Camper charts a cathartic return with modern upgrades in tow. This Endless Highway model features a 26-foot exterior that almost looks unchanged. It sports the same aluminum shell, the original care of aircraft engineer Hawley Bowlus.
Come inside and you’ll find an interior finished with wood walls and ceilings. It’s got a master bedroom as well, complete with a king-size bed. There’s an en suite teak and chrome bathroom, a four-person dining space, and a kitchen. There’s even a sofa and armchair that you can convert into twin beds.
For extra comfort, the camper trailer also comes with heated floors, a cellular booster, and even a private network. Continuous hot water is available, which could be a godsend especially if you’re traveling to high-temperature locations. Charging stations are also available just in case you need to re-juice your selfie shooters. It’s all powered by lithium-ion phosphate systems. That means you can stay off the grid for days at a time and not have to worry about losing power or the means to survive and brave the backcountry.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t come cheap. The Endless Highways starts at $185,000, with financing available for as low as $942 a month. Hit the link below to find out more.

Timberleaf Pika Teardrop Camper
Colorado-based Timberleaf is already a familiar name for the outdoorsy crowd. They’ve been consistently making stylish and reliable trailers with modern amenities and uncompromising quality. Its latest, the Pika Teardrop, is another excellent entry in that lineup.
This awesome-looking camper combines comfort and compact design into one neat package. It’s 36% smaller than Timberleaf’s original model. That sounds like a downside at first, but is actually a good thing. That’s because most passenger vehicles can tow it.
At just 1,000 pounds, the Pika Teardrop is one of the most lightweight campers around. It’s built with aluminum sides, a clear-anodized top, and a robust yet still lightweight 54-inch x 96-inch frame.
You can choose between three editions: Classic, All-Road, or Off-Road, each with their own individual strengths — the Classic fares well in any highway adventure, the All-Road in more adventurous terrain, and the Off-Road for “whatever adventure awaits,” says Timberleaf.
You also get a bunch of options, including a double-size mattress, interior cargo storage with stretch netting, a huge skylight (perfect for stargazing), and LED lighting.
A smaller camper isn’t necessarily a good thing, especially for those seeking more space when out and about, but the Teardrop makes do with what it’s got, trimming the bulk and weight but still being able to offer utmost comfort for two people venturing out to the great outdoors. There’s even an integrated kitchen area with a dual countertop design, four USB ports, a GFI outlet, a 12V socket, and a refrigerator.
Pika pricing starts at $11,750. In addition to the three variants, Timberleaf offers a bunch of optional items, like solar panels, roof racks, and awnings.
