Hi all,

This is of interest. It is the 2nd such towable I've seen. The Pebble and now the Lightship.

All electric? Wonder what that means when it comes to a Trailer
I gather it means "No propane" Electric stove/oven/range/water heater/cabin heat.
Not a good boondocker that's for sure.


Home was where I park it. but alas the.

80 kwh battery would meet my boondocking needs--particularly if there are solar panel, too.

I know it’s early in the development, but I wonder what experience the designers have in how people will use a travel trailer. Off grid for 7 days is nice, but what’s the capacity of on board water, capacity for onboard grey or black water, how do you heat of cool the thing. With all that glass, cooling it anywhere other than in Canada might be an issue. No real mention of where you can store your stuff

How does the electric motors on the L1 sync with the tow vehicle, gas or EV?

I think it also means it has it’s own drive wheels to help the tow vehicle tow. Said it had a 300 mile range. Not sure how that works, but there are people smarter than me. (Can’t believe I just admitted that…)

I didn't see any means for privacy. No window shades.

It's also going back to the old Hi/Lo Trailer, with the top section dropping down over the lower section.
