The eBoho XL Tiny Aims to Be the Best Getaway. Electric, Too

Escape Traveler has been around on the market of tinies for years, first attaining international exposure with the very compact Vista, which earned the label of "the most beautiful tiny in the world" from a prestigious publication. Since then, the company's range has grown to include more models and then, electric versions of these models, which received the "e" prefix to the established name.

We talked about Escape Traveler's Boho tiny a while back. The Boho is the most compact unit they have, but it's actually offered in two sizes: the Go we covered and a larger layout that goes by Boho XL. The eBoho is the Boho designed as "all-electric," while the eBoho XL is actually one of the most popular models from last year.

An eBoho XL tiny is not an off-grid tiny home, despite the description that might make you assume that. But it can be rendered off-grid with a bit more investment and effort, offering the perfect, compact, perfectly transportable home on wheels for the occasional or even permanent adventurer.

Tiny living and mobile homes have been riding the proverbial wave for some years now, so it comes as no surprise that their number is growing proportionately with the increased number of options. The tiny house market, for one, is booming right now, allowing anyone with even the slightest interest in this lifestyle to find something that would suit them, their needs and budget with just a bit of research.

Granted, tiny houses are still operating at the fringe of legality in many countries, which makes the idea of them being sound alternatives to traditional housing solutions come across as an exaggeration. But for everything else, like a rental unit, an ADU (additional dwelling unit), a guest house, or a vacation home, they're a perfect fit.

The same goes for the eBoho XL, according to the builders themselves. This tiny is compact but still more spacious than its smaller sibling, the eBoho Go, highly mobile, and equipped to offer a comfortable stay even for a more extended timeframe. It's probably not good for long-term residency, but if you're committed 1,000% to the idea of downsizing, you could make it work like that, too. It'd entail some serious compromising, even more so than downsizing to a larger tiny.

The eBoho XL sits on a double-axle trailer and offers a useful length of 23 feet (7 meters) and a width of 8.5 feet (2.5 meters). By comparison, the eBoho Go is 16 feet (4.8 meters) long and gets a single-axle trailer. Whatever these two tiny houses lack in size, they make up for in comfort and airiness.

As the video tour below shows, the XL model features large picture windows to let in as much natural as possible, creating the impression of a less cramped layout. Every bit of that helps, too: most tiny houses will employ such design "gimmicks" to apparently create space out of thin air, but the smaller the unit, the more necessary they are. All Boho variants are single-level layouts, too, so yes, these tricks are more than welcome.

The eBoho XL offers a sleeping area, a living area that integrates the dining area slash office space, a kitchen area, and a bathroom, along with an impressive number of storage options, considering the small footprint. The living room features a couch that folds down flat, so it can sleep two additional people in extreme cases, but the home is designed for two people at the most.

The kitchen is more like a galley than a residential kitchen, but it still offers a large fridge and freezer, a two-burner induction cooktop with an extractor hood, and storage options. By contrast, the bathroom feels comparatively large with a flushing toilet, a one-piece full-size shower, a tiny sink, and even more storage.

Finishes are simple, almost rustic. Escape Traveler favors natural materials, treated for durability and impermeability but left unpainted, and this unit is a good example in this sense. You have wood throughout, from the walls and ceiling to the cabinetry, bio-degradable floors, and stone countertops.

All eBoho XL units are offered with privacy blinds and screens as standard, a Mitsubishi split system for heat and AC, and USB and power outlets. Customizations include adding a dishwasher in one of the kitchen cupboards or the possibility to put in a divider to the bedroom area for more privacy.

The unit shown below is now on sale, but pricing is not disclosed. For reference, the smaller eBoho Go starts at $37,500. "Simple is best" might be one of those cliches that holds true, but not the same goes for "the best things in life are free." These cost money.
