What Awol Outdoors does

Awol Outdoors, Inc. (d/b/a Camp365) is a Bloomington, Minnesota-based manufacturer of low-volume, patented fold-out cabin campers founded by CEO Kevin McGregor and co-founder Shawn McGregor. The company designs and produces towable and truck-bed campers featuring a proprietary fold-out cabin architecture protected by six US utility patents and four design patents. Core technology includes the Aqualon dual-layer synthetic air-gap insulation system, an aluminum/steel exoskeleton, a patented lift-assist mechanism enabling single-person setup in under 10 minutes, a patented adjustable wheelbase (contracting to ~4 feet for narrow trails/garage storage), and a patented all-terrain leveling system. The product portfolio spans towable models (Base Model from $25,995, Base X from $27,995, N Model 'North Package' from $31,495, M Model 'Mountain Package' from $33,495, GoSun Solar bundle), the T-Model truck bed cabin (from $25,000, deliveries began March 2025), and the OPS365 Mobile Emergency Response unit for humanitarian and medical applications. Manufacturing is conducted across three plants, with fabrication and final assembly in Albia, Iowa, alongside the original Eden Prairie, Minnesota facility.

The business model is one-time hardware sales of physical camper units ($25,000–$33,495 ASP) plus modular accessory add-ons (solar packages, off-road wheel kits, toy racks, marine flooring, water systems, hot water showers, toilets, cooktops). Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer sales via the company website (camp365.com) and factory showrooms in Eden Prairie, MN and Albia, IA, an authorized dealer network in the US and Canada (Riverwood RV, Wisconsin RV World), event-driven sales at RV shows, and a strategic EV Universe partnership targeting electric pickup truck owners. Customer segments include outdoor enthusiast families (primary), EV/hybrid vehicle owners (primary, driven by T-Model), off-road adventure seekers, and emergency response/humanitarian organizations (OPS365). Revenue is highly distributed across long-tail individual consumers, with no disclosed enterprise contracts or recurring revenue streams. The company was bootstrapped through its founding phase with cumulative disclosed funding of approximately $2.03M across four rounds from 2017 to 2023, with no identified institutional venture capital or private equity investment.

Core offering

Awol Outdoors (d/b/a Camp365) designs, manufactures, and sells patented fold-out cabin campers in towable and truck-bed configurations, with prices ranging from $25,000 to $33,495 and a custom OPS365 Mobile Emergency Response variant. All units use an aluminum/steel exoskeleton, Aqualon dual-layer air gap insulation, and proprietary lift assist technology to compress for towing and unfold in under 10 minutes into a 700 cu. ft. all-season cabin. The company sells direct via factory showrooms and its website, through authorized US/Canadian dealers, and at RV events.

Product overview

Awol Outdoors (d/b/a Camp365) manufactures the world's first fold-out cabin campers under the Camp365 brand, available in two primary product lines: Towable models (Base, Base X, N/M North/Mountain Packages, and GoSun Solar Package) and Truck Bed models (T-Model), plus the OPS365 Mobile Emergency Response variant. All models share the same patented folding cabin architecture — an aluminum/steel exoskeleton with Aqualon dual-layer air gap insulation that compresses to a narrow, aerodynamic profile for towing/transport and unfolds in minutes via proprietary lift assist technology into a spacious all-season cabin with up to 700 cu. ft. of living space, standing room, and modular amenities (beds, kitchen, bathroom, heating/cooling, solar power). The portfolio ranges from entry-level $25,995 towables to the $33,495 Mountain Package and the truck-specific T-Model at $25,000. The OPS365 extends the platform into mobile medical/humanitarian applications.

Direct peers

• Bowlus Road Chief: Bowlus produces high-end, ultra-lightweight aluminum travel trailers (Endless Highways, Volterra) with EV-towing-friendly aerodynamics and off-grid power systems. It is the closest direct premium peer to Camp365, sharing an EV-friendly, all-season, design-led positioning at a higher price band.
• Airstream Basecamp: Airstream's Basecamp is a compact, lightweight aluminum travel trailer aimed at adventure buyers who want a premium, durable rig that can be towed by smaller vehicles and EVs. It is a direct aspirational peer to Camp365's all-season, lightweight positioning at a similar price point.
• Happier Camper: Happier Camper builds the HC1 and Adaptiv modular travel trailers using a lightweight fiberglass shell and configurable cube system. It directly competes with Camp365 on garage-storable, lightweight, family-friendly towable campers in a comparable $20K-$30K price range.
• GFC (Go Fast Campers): GFC builds lightweight truck-bed campers and rooftop tents engineered for overlanding and EV truck compatibility (e.g., Cybertruck). It is the most direct peer to Camp365's T-Model, competing head-to-head for half-ton and EV-pickup owners who want garage-storable adventure camping.
• InTech RV: InTech RV manufactures lightweight all-aluminum travel trailers (Aria, Luna, Flyer) targeting adventure and off-road buyers. Like Camp365, the brand emphasizes all-season durability, modular interiors, and towability by smaller vehicles, including crossovers and EVs.
• Taxa Outdoors: Taxa Outdoors designs and manufactures lightweight, adventure-focused pop-up and hard-shell camping trailers (Cricket, TigerMoth, Woolly Bear) for compact SUVs and EVs.

Broad incumbents

• Forest River (BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY): Forest River is one of the largest US RV conglomerates (R-Pod, Rockwood, Flagstaff) with thousands of dealers and broad product coverage including compact and lightweight travel trailers. It is a broad incumbent peer that competes with Camp365 on price and distribution breadth, though its products are typically heavier and less design-led.
• Winnebago Industries: Winnebago is a major incumbent RV manufacturer (Micro Minnie, Revel, Travato) with national dealer scale and broad product lines. While its core products are larger RVs, its compact and off-grid sub-lines compete with Camp365 for the lightweight-adventure buyer, and it has dramatically more capital and distribution.
