Recently, Escapod released a new addition to its lineup: the TOPO2 Nomad. This new trim level gives customers a new option that focuses on essentials and allows them to customize their camper to fit their needs! The Escapod TOPO2 is poised to revolutionize the way we experience the great outdoors with both its trim levels. In this article, you’ll learn what this new trim level offers, what features are similar, and what makes the TOPO2 Nomad different.
Nomad vs. Voyager: Similarities
Let’s start with the same things on both trim levels. You’ll see that the body construction, suspension system, some features in the cabin and galley, and the Manufacturer’s warranty are the same on the TOPO2 Voyager and the TOPO2 Nomad.
What materials are the TOPO2 Voyager and TOPO2 Nomad made of?
Both trim levels of the TOPO2 come with a fiberglass single-piece monocoque body. This use of fiberglass infusion allows Escapod to add a PET core, giving the body its strength and insulation. This body also includes an integrated tongue box, adding additional storage to each trim level.
Many other off-road trailers on the market deploy fiberglass as a shell over a preexisting structure, adding unnecessary weight to the trailer. The TOPO2 stands out with its unique construction, using an infusion process to form a seamless, monocoque one-piece body infused with a PET core. This strengthens the body, negating the need for additional support structure.
This method results in a strong and resilient body, giving the TOPO2 the name of one of the lightest teardrop trailers. Both trim levels are 1650 lbs (Nomad) and 1920 lbs (Voyager) dry.
What frame/suspension does each of the trim levels come with?
All TOPO2s come equipped with an in-house-designed suspension, the Freeride Suspension. This Suspension heralds a new era in off-road travel. Crafted with rugged terrains in mind, this system bestows unparalleled performance and comfort, transforming even the most challenging trails into smooth rides. Whether conquering rocky mountain passes or navigating uneven forest tracks, the suspension’s capacity to absorb bumps and vibrations provides minimal impact while towing.
The system’s versatility shines through, accommodating various preferences and needs. Whether overlanding or cruising on highways, the Freeride Suspension System optimizes stability and weight distribution, guaranteeing a smooth travel experience.
The TOPO2’s Freeride Suspension System amplifies your off-road capabilities, raising ground clearance to 23” to conquer remote and rugged domains. From national parks to tranquil rivers and secluded mountain peaks, the TOPO2’s suspension system delivers unfaltering traction and stability on treacherous roads.
What standards are included in the cabin and galley of both TOPO2 trim levels?
While the cabins of each trim level have some differences, they also have many similarities. The biggest key things that have remained the same are the 2.5’ by 5’ operational Stargazer window, the standard MaxxAir fan, a 6” queen-sized memory foam mattress, warm interior lighting, an angled headboard with additional storage, and nightstands with wireless charging points.
Moving on to the galley, the carry-overs for both models are the beautiful stainless steel countertop, modular shelving, built-in table, built-in cutting board, white/red lighting, and space for a cooler/fridge.
Do both trim levels come with a warranty?
All TOPO2s come with Escapod’s 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, unlike any in the industry. Escapod has an in-house Service and Warranty team that works with customers nationwide to ensure they can maintain their trailers and enjoy them for years.
Nomad vs. Voyager: The Differences
But what makes the TOPO2 Nomad different? The TOPO2 Nomad trim level offers something a little different. The biggest differences are in the cabin, galley, mechanicals, and price. This trailer focuses on the essentials, leaving space for customers to pack it full of camping gear they have invested in over the years.
What are the differences between the TOPO2 Voyager and TOPO2 Nomad cabins?
The cabin of the TOPO2 Nomad has a few features that are notably different
from the TOPO2 Voyager. Since the mechanical systems (water, water heater, and cabin heat) have been removed from this build, the cabinetry has moved further back, giving the cabin more open space. The storage solutions in the cabin have been changed for a simpler storage solution with shelves with bungees that allow the owner’s preferred packing bins to be stored in the cabin.
The mudroom is still present in the Nomad trim level, but because of the additional space, we opted to leave the coat closet open with coats and add an additional spot for cup holders and a recessed spot for keys or glasses.
This set-up gives more space in the cabin, making it feel more expansive. It also has more storage, allowing you to bring more of the gear you already use in your current camping setup.
What are the key differences between the TOPO2 Nomad and TOPO2 Voyager galley?
The TOPO2 Nomad galley carries the same theme of space. Behind the built-in cutting board, you’ll find a huge space for additional storage. In addition, you’ll find space for your food storage solution, water solution, camp stove of choice, and all your favorite kitchen wear that help you take gourmet to every campsite.
The food storage space is large enough to accommodate a 75L YETI cooler or a 63 QT ARB Fridge freezer, both of which can be purchased from Escapod if you don’t yet have a solution for your camp setup. It houses a locking drawer slide that can hold up to 500 lbs, which your cooler can be strapped down to for a secure
ride to every location.
The galley has a huge utensil drawer that is larger than the TOPO2 Voyager drawer. It has enough room to house a full set of utensils, an organizer, dishwashing rags, and any larger cooking utensils you like to bring along, as well as a stove like the GSI Pinnacle.
Underneath the utensil drawer, there is an open space for your water solution, which you can bring along on all your adventures. This is the perfect space for jerry cans. If you don’t already have a solution, Escapod offers the Dometic Water GO system, which fits three 11-liter jugs perfectly.
The thoughtful design of the TOPO2 Nomad galley allows customers to really lean into the gear they already know and love to use. This gives comfort in feeling comfortable in the gear you’re using but allows you to elevate your experience by everything already being packed up and ready to hit the road with you at a moment’s notice.
What mechanical systems are different between the two TOPO2 trim levels?
The mechanicals for all TOPO2s are nested in the trailer’s interior, allowing for off-season camping. The TOPO2 Nomad has fewer mechanical features to consider. The TOPO2 Nomad has a 100 amp LiP04 battery powering up the Nomad, along with a shore power port to recharge your battery via hookups you encounter or a generator that might already have on hand.
Customers also have the option to add a 140W solar panel by LightLeaf Solar if they’d like to set up the TOPO2 Voyager’s regenerative power system.
What’s the price difference between the two trim levels?
The price tag is one of the most notable differences between the TOPO2 Voyager and Nomad. Because Escapod was able to focus more directly on the essentials. The standard Nomad pricing reflects this by being listed at $33,990.
This trailer is at a lower price point, which means it will be able to be used for generations to come.
In addition to the lower starting price point for the TOPO2 Nomad, Escapod 
Trailers offers financing for all of their trailer models. They have preferred lenders that Escapod will do the leg work to help their customers be matched with the best option. They’ve made it as easy as submitting a pre-approval on their website, working directly with their team to secure the best option, and assisting until you get your trailer!
The TOPO2 Nomad offers campers a more customized and spacious experience, allowing them to bring their existing camping gear and choose their preferred equipment. It retains the foundational features that make Escapod’s TOPO2 series stand out, such as the fiberglass monocoque body, Freeride Suspension System, and impact-resistant design.
With its focus on customization and flexibility, the TOPO2 Nomad is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate packing what they already have and tailoring their camping experience to their specific needs. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just starting your adventure, the TOPO2 Nomad provides the essentials for your next memorable outdoor journey.
