Living Vehicle RV, the perfect Cybertruck trailer

[israndy]

Just got back from Electrify Expo 2023 SF where I saw the Light Ship, but the real winner there (according to my wife) was the Living Vehicle LT:

I hope you misplaced the decimal point

Its very Niche.

You are the person who just happens to go where no EV Chargers within 100 miles. Or the type who isn't willing to compromise?

And willing to cart a heavy RV which incidentally you haven't compromised on design.

I’ve been through the Living LV before, chatted with the couple who are the owners, and followed them since.

Inwant to say they make on the order of 12-20 units per year, and seem sell them all.

But that trailer will not be getting pulled by a BEV anytime soon. At least not far or safely.

One dollar more and it would be a deal breaker. I think I’ll take that pot of $$ and pay for superchargers and the occasional really nice hotel.

Pricey. I'm 70k into a 35' toy hauler with 7 sleeping spots, 1200w solar, 400ah battery bank and 5500w generator.....and room for dirt bikes - all at 1/10th the price. Range with CT will suck but I can charge it when I get there.

I just wonder what problem this solves that a harbor freight solar kit with a few panel expansions doesn't. Throw those in the bed and set them up on top of a normal trailer when you arrive. With your mobile connector plugged into the 240VAC out you can get decent recharge, especially if you're planning to be there a few days.

Having a huge in trailer battery in addition to the CT battery just seems redundant.

Airstream has the perfect idea to compliment our BEV trailer dreams - a concept trailer at this point but it won’t be $599,000, and essentially range impact neutral (their claim). Plus stainless and aluminum is not a bad look!

it’s not redundant so much as inapplicable

no time soon would the CT be a remotely reasonable choice for a trailer like this

these are 12-15K lbs unladen (not a reasonable or safe fit for the CT towing capacity, nor it’s IRS), and shaped like a loaf of bread (which drag together the the weight/rolling resistance will obliterate CT range)

after 150 miles to a remote location for a multi-day camp, the CT battery wouldn’t be redundant, it would be why you’re not getting back

For that price, how many Powerwalls could you buy and install on a camping trailer?

Sounds like an awesome trailer. Is it custom made, or is it a make/model that is currently in existence?

Keystone Carbon 35 with aftermarket Victron Solar/Battery, Inverter, etc system. Third toy hauler I've had over past 25 years...this one's pretty solid.

9800 lbs unloaded and 3200 payload puts me at 13k...1k under Tri motor max weight. Granted aero of a barn (or loaf of bread as stated above) - but im good if I can get 200+ miles range out of a 500mi CT (lots of camping here in CO isn't that far). Just in case, keeping my GMC 2500 until im sure and if needed, long term I'll just use it for towing.
