Bowlus is one of our favorite camping trailer manufacturers, pairing classic aluminum-bodied style with serious luxury craftsmanship. We’ve loved the company’s previous trailers, like the Terra Firma and the all-electric Volterra.
Perhaps the lone downside to those trailers is that they are quite pricey. But Bowlus has a solution there; the brand has just rolled out a far more affordable camping trailer option, the Rivet.
Here’s what you need to know about the Bowlus Rivet.

The Bowlus Rivet sleeps up to four
The Rivet is a 25-foot-3-inch-long trailer. It features a separate bedroom with a king bed and a “luxury ensuite bathroom” in addition to the living area and kitchen. It can sleep up to four passengers.
The Bowlus Rivet is lightweight
Bowlus kept the GVWR for the Rivet down to just 3,500 pounds. That broadens the range of tow vehicles, opening it up to many crossover options — even some EV ones, like the Tesla Model Y.
The Bowlus Rivet can operate by remote control
Bowlus gave the Rivet a new “AeroMove” self-propulsion system. The trailer can propel itself by remote control in parking settings, allowing it to navigate into tight spaces, spin 360 degrees and parallel park. Bowlus believes that should dramatically alleviate the stress of maneuvering the vehicle at low speeds.
