I think this idea has potential. I like it.

I assure you that I can live a lot longer than a month "off-grid" in my 1987 Hymer 660S.

Can it hold a month's worth of fresh water, poop and grey water?

If not it looks like they've got a hell of a walk to the nearest service point.

Isn't it just a glorified caravan?

could be a good idea but lets hope it doesnt catch on . dont want too many out there in the wilds .

It's a travel trailer no different from many of the 5th wheels I have seen. Airstream do an aluminium bodied travel trailer that looks a hell of a lot prettier and could fit the same quantity of solar on it etc..

Not sure what is so special about this one. i honestly don't like being negative about people trying like this but when your main selling points are marketing terms like vision and wrapping it in flat panel alluminium... Sorry I honestly don't see what is so special about this.

Go onto youtube and do a search for "travel trailer conversions". Loads of people doing this in the U.S. And yes Travel trailers are pretty much the U.S. equivalent of a caravan.

No dimensions, no weight information, no engine, no good. Presumably it'll be towed by an eco-friendly, lightweight, truck that runs off unicorn farts and batteries?

Only 600 watts of solar not going to get many washloads in that full size machine in a UK winter.

you need about 7.5L per kilo of laundry it soon adds up + elec of 2.5kw to do a normal wash

This is probably what towed it there ,

Did you see the airstreams at the NEC?

Nothing special at all and an eye watering £99,000 and £101,000k eeeek

Looks like a glorified portacabin....

It has all the beauty of a recycled shipping container on wheels

 

[TerryL]

Ah yes. Modern Art

Going to need more that the family run about to tow that.
It also states it will just about go anywhere off road........As long as there's no steep hills or big bumps. Looks to be about 8" of ground clearance at the rear end which with the length would ground out going off a kerb.

Yes you need quite a bit more clearance
