Boreas Campers is offering its off-road chassis to small OEMs and DIY consumers as a standalone product.
Boreas Campers received many requests from consumers wanting its chassis to build their own campers, Boreas Camper Marketing Manager Maggie Reichel said. The company has the bandwidth now to provide them due to a recent expansion, she said.
The company moved from Denver to Pueblo 16 months ago and upgraded its building space from 11,000 to 17,000 square feet. Boreas Campers also increased its employee roster by 25%.
The rolling chassis includes a heavy-duty, powder-coated laser cut tube steel frame, Cruisemaster CRS2 independent suspension and DO35 articulating hitch; BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, Pro Comp wheels; front and rear 2-inch hitch receivers; tail and marker lights; a 7-pin trailer plug and a manufacturer’s certificate of origin.
“If folks see our camper, and they love the chassis or the heavy-duty, off-road components of our chassis, but they have a different camper idea in mind,” Reichel said, “then this is something that we can provide to them now.”
According to Reichel, the company was the first North American company to install the Australian Cruisemaster independent suspension, a suspension that has been rigorously tested in the Outback.
“That is a really top-of-the-line, off-road suspension and the chassis has been designed around that suspension instead of just throwing it on,” Reichel said. “So, for anyone that is looking to build a legitimate off-road camper, this is a really good fit.”
The frame is 16 feet long by 60 inches wide, made with 1/8-inch 4×2 and 3×2 laser-cut tube steel. The MSRP is $6,500, with add-ons such as a spare tire holder, fenders and running lights and a 30-gallon water tank available.
“We are excited to support DIY camper builders with this rugged frame, built for going off-road,” said Matt Reichel, owner of Boreas Campers. “The chassis is the foundation of any vehicle, so having a frame specifically designed for this top-of-the-line suspension system is a real advantage for the folks who want to build out their own perfect adventure basecamp.”
