New 2025 NoBo 20.3 Owners

[Drizzit]

Want to say hello and possibly make a contact or two with other 20.3 owners. (Chattanooga, TN area)

My wife and I owned a 2006 TravelStar Hybrid for a few years and love the RV life. We sold the that camper a few years ago and have been looking for a replacement for some time now. We finally decided on the No Boundaries 20.3 and purchased a 2025 this week.

This will be my first time using any type of newer equipment that comes on these campers and am curious if there are any NoBo owner here that would be willing to share some advice.

Thanks

Hi and Welcome to FRF.
If you do a search in the Ibex/NoBo sub-forum, you'll find tons of NoBo owners and probably others that own your model number.

Welcome to the club. I have a 20.3. So far so good. 1 warranty issue done so far but other then that it has been pretty solid so far.

We've had our 20.3 about 2 yrs now. Message me if you have any specific questions and maybe I can point you in the right direction. My advice would be to try everything in your driveway before you venture too far. There are a couple of must-do mods that you'll want to address. 20.3 with beast suspension tows nicely but your gas mileage will be abysmal.

We are looking at purchasing a 2024 20.3eo - what are the must-do mods you’d recommend?

I would say to add additional hinges to the murphy bed. It only has 2 which isn't good. You can get a centering drill bit so the holes are perfect. I've seen a few people add a pop up outlet on the counter top but we haven't had the need yet. We swapped the bed too. The one it comes with is no good. Other then that it's been pretty solid. We're just weekenders so we have tried to keep it stock. But we have the normal one so I don't know what yours doesn't have.

1. Replace all the USB outlets with better units off Amazon, they are cheap and make a big difference in charging.
2. Replace the bathroom faucet with one that moves the spigot further out so you can wash your hands
3. Consider switching to LiFePo4 batteries so you have more reserve power for that hungry 12v fridge. I also moved ours inside.
4. Add a rear view camera. If you're handy, you can pick up and install one for a little over 100 bucks. Makes driving safer and much less stressful.
5. Add a freshwater drain valve in place of that plastic cap. Many use a Pex washing machine brass valve.
6. Weight distribution hitch is a MUST. We use an e2 1000lb round bar unit, reasonably priced and works well. The fanatics will offer you several other brands I suppose they are also good.
7. Added another inverter outlet and can run the microwave off the battery bank.
8. Changed all the locks so a single key works for the entire trailer. Not hard to do and E Trailer had all the parts.

Did several things not for the faint of heart, like hard wiring a Progressive EMS to protect the trailer electrics. Many opt for a plug-in like the power watchdog, which I understand is also a good unit. Did some further wiring upgrades including an electrical repair of the furnace (note, if it's under warranty and you can spare the time being without the trailer, better to take to a trusted dealer)

eo's are a slightly different beast. We've not experienced any issues with murphy bed other than adding a foam topper. Avoided the popup electrical outlet as they are gimmicky when you can add a very short appliance extension cord to provide power to the counter.

We have 2 seasons use and probably 8-10k miles of towing experience.
