Unless otherwise indicated, the pictures are courtesy of Hélio VR (Lavaltrie, Quebec, Canada) Note that Helio O2 comes with Canadian (CSA Z240 RV) and US (NFPA 1192) certifications. The latter puts it in the towing range of family cars and crossovers. The modern aluminum-fiberglass design offers durability but also light weight. The well-thought layout and standard features promises functionality and comfort. Summarizing: The Canada-made Helio O2 teardrop travel trailer seems to be an interesting solution for memorable RV-journeys for two. Helio O2 Travel Trailer: Interior (View from the dinette)
Two side-windows and door allow for penetration of sunlight, but they are not match for visual effects that can only offer the panoramic rear window (not available in Helio’s Ox series). Dinette’s upholstery, windows’ curtains and interior LED lights add some softness and warmth into this small, but certainly comfortable interior. Doors and cabinets are covered with laminated aluminum. The floor is finished in attractive pattern of fiberglass. The ceiling is covered with soft automotive-style lining. Interior finish matches modernity with elegance. Located at the front on the driver-side, the bath is contained in a molded-fiberglass cabin, so it’s always available, offers privacy, while at the same time camper’s interior is fully protected from spills of water. It’s rather unusual feature in this class of travel trailers. And they could be right if not the bath with shower and toilet. It plays multiple roles – dinette, for 4, working or leisure place for reading, playing games etc… and finally at night it converts into a comfortable queen-size bed.Īt this moment, most readers will probably say - well, nothing new, quite typical layout for small travel trailers. Remaining part of the camper houses spacious, U-shaped dinette with round table. The cooktop takes almost all top surface, however thanks to the glass cover it can be also available for preparation of food. On the opposite wall there is another cabinet with 2-burner stainless-steel cooktop and built-in microwave.
#HELIO TRAILER PORTABLE#
Under the fridge there is a storage space with drawers and an extra space that can be used either as a storage or space for a portable A/C unit. Remaining part of the kitchenette is taking the central part of the trailer and includes built into the cabinetry 2-way (120Vac/LPG) 3.3 cu.
#HELIO TRAILER FREE#
Large part of the countertop is left free as the working space, while cabinets provide ample storage space. The kitchenette consists of front cabinets with stainless-steel sink and hot/cold water. Thanks to this arrangement it was possible to offer functional and comfortable interior (despite its relatively small footprint). With its queen-size sleeping place made from folding rear, U-shaped dinette, the model Helio O2 is designed for two people. Modern, light construction materials and electric brakes puts all Helio Ox models within the towing range of most family cars and SUVs (O2 dry weight is just 1.550 lbs, GVWR corresponding 2,000 lbs).
Stainless-steel 2-burner cooktop with glass cover The legitimate question however is – how well the underbelly’s fiberglass coating protects from rocks and any other mechanical damages? Such floor offers the best of two words: mechanical strength and good thermal insulation of plywood, but also rot and mold free operation thanks to fiberglass coating. In this case however it is fully wrapped in a thick coat of fiberglass, so practically also weather resistant. The floor is an exception, as designers decided to use traditional ¾” plywood. Helio O2 exterior is gel-coated protecting the surface from discoloration due to prolonged impact of weather elements while nice graphics ads always appreciated elegance.
#HELIO TRAILER WINDOWS#
As famous Murphy laws predict, “all sealed joints leak” and windows are certainly weak spots in overall watertight design. Keeping in mind specifics of Canadian climate (quite rainy), designers eliminated otherwise attractive rear panoramic window achieving this way better weather resistance.
Overlapping molded parts making the shell are glued with resins making it not only rot and mold free but also a watertight. The monocoque shell is a sandwich of insulation (expanded polypropylene) and fiberglass. The aluminum frame makes it not only corrosion free and by that long-lasting, but also light. All Helio travel trailers are made to last.
