Why Choose Bontrager Outdoors from Bella Vista RV?
1. True Off-Road Capability Many manufacturers slap "off-road tires" on a standard trailer and call it rugged. Bontrager is different. They build their units on a Norco Stamped Steel Frame that is huck-bolted to allow for flex without breaking. Combined with the Dexter Torsion-Flex Axles, these trailers have the ground clearance and suspension travel to actually handle the rocks and ruts of Northern Ontario.
2. Composite Construction (No Wood Rot) Bontrager Outdoors utilizes Azdel composite panels in their sidewalls. This advanced material is impervious to water, 50% lighter than wood, and provides superior insulation. This means you never have to worry about the dreaded "delamination" or wood rot that plagues traditional RVs after a few years of wet weather.
3. Small Footprint, Big Comfort Despite their compact size, these trailers are packed with "big RV" amenities. From 12-volt refrigerators and Bluetooth sound systems to powerful A/C units and furnaces, you get the comfort of a hotel room in a package that can follow your Jeep down a narrow trail.
4. The Bella Vista "Overland" Prep We don't just sell these units; we prep them for the bush. Our technicians in Oro-Medonte verify that all seals are water-tight, the suspension is torqued to spec, and the 12-volt systems are charging correctly. We can also help you upgrade your battery setup to Lithium-Ion for extended off-grid stays.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bontrager
Is Bontrager Outdoors the same as Bushwhacker? Bontrager Outdoors is the manufacturer behind the trailers you may have known as "Bushwhacker." The "Compact" and "Radical" lines are the evolution of those designs, featuring updated branding, improved components, and refined interiors.
Do I need a brake controller? Yes. Even though these trailers are lightweight, we highly recommend (and often require) a brake controller. The electric brakes on the trailer provide essential stopping power on steep grades and loose gravel, keeping your tow vehicle under control.
Can I mount a roof-top tent? On the Radical models equipped with the heavy-duty roof rack system: Yes. The racks are rated to support the dynamic weight of a tent and the static weight of occupants (always check specific weight ratings in the owner's manual). This is a popular way to add sleeping space for kids or guests.
