LIGHTSHIP L1 Electric Travel Trailer Full Tour

[@Yanquetino]

Sweet! And very clever solutions to improve aerodynamics, range, and powering the RV when camping. I take it that you're thinking of getting an F-150 Lighting or a Rivian to tow it, Laycee! I just hope they eventually make a smaller EV version, about the size of a TAB 320 S, just big enough for two.

[@MissGoElectric]

I agree, Mark. Yes, it sounds like they will be making multiple sizes and this is the halo version. I'm excited to see how the brand grows and expands its lineup. I have a Rivian R1T Max Pack on order which will be the perfect vehicle to tow the L1 :) Here is a video with the exact specifications: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX2yZoiKnchrfbM Thanks for watching Mark!

[@danross7194]

What is the GVW and DVW? Is this a true 4 season? -10 degrees to 110 degrees? What are the tank sizes? So many questions.

[@MissGoElectric]

This is not a 4 season RV as stated by the CEO during the tour. This is a prototype. Highly detailed specifications will arrive next year before production begins.

[@keetelemetry]

Can't wait to see yours when you get it. Thanks for the video.

[@MissGoElectric]

Thanks for watching Karl! We will be making a lot of videos with it, that is for sure so stay tuned :)

[@gaeldesmontagnesnoires1711]

Any CONCERNS about the wheel covers??? I'd be worries to destroy those with irregular roads or deep pot holes

[@MissGoElectric]

We aren't particularly concerned with any elements of a prototype because we know there will be changes based on durability testing of the pre-production fleet. -Producer Tim

[@backyardflyer9914]

WOW! That thing looks amazing! Great video.

[@MissGoElectric]

Thank you for joining us! We hope you'll subscribe for a ton of fascinating projects we are currently editing.

[@mateharris]

The bags attached to the rails are not a replacement for overhead cabinets. That’s the trade off for the low profile while towing.

[@MissGoElectric]

Utilization of vertical space is the function of cabinets. The bags hold items and can be stowed up high, utilizing vertical space. The items allocated to the bags will differ from upper cabinets, but the result is stowage capability.

[@tonydeleon5029]

Do they have plans to replace the glass with ALON? I think this change will definitely lighten the weight as transparent aluminum is lighter than glass.

[@MissGoElectric]

We have only experienced this prototype and are not versed on materials finality for next year's production models. Thank you for watching and commenting. -Producer Tim

Indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@aussie2uGA]

Looks like a great AIRBNB experience.

[@MissGoElectric]

Absolutely!

[@thelostcove7463]

To all who buy this beautiful hunk, just consider the amount of prayer and good luck involved to drive up mountains or off-road, basically anywhere in blm, kind of what campers were solely intended to do. EIther way still a very cool design

[@MissGoElectric]

We look forward to taking it on some trips across North America. -Producer Tim

[@thelostcove7463]

​@@MissGoElectric I think a more compact off roading version would be beneficial to expand the market. I look forward to seeing the advancements made within this technology in the new age. It's refreshing to see such innovation.

[@kennyb123]

Man, this thing is amazing. Maybe I'll get it once I pay off my extended range Lightning in 2029. Lol

[@MissGoElectric]

It truly is! Hey, the Lightning is the perfect rig for it so I think it is in your destiny ;) Thanks for watching!

[@macrichardson7440]

I am really interested in this for its evolution This first model is a little to generic and cold looking interior and im past the age where i want to turn a sofa into a bed every night. I think once they make this larger and more "homey" inside it will appeal better. but LOVE the concept and the exterior. I am curious how it handles privacy......

[@MissGoElectric]

In this interview the electrochromic window feature was revealed. At the press of a button, all windows become opaque. Subscribe to our channel for more coverage of other electric RVs very soon. -Producer Tim

[@JD-kf2ki]

Such a breakthrough for the American design language.

[@MissGoElectric]

Yeah!

[@ByrdRecords]

Do the windows have insulated panels that can be installed? Im concerned about all that glass during the winter

[@MissGoElectric]

The CEO referred to this as a three season RV. We doubt the production version will offer insulated panels. -Producer Tim

[@johncrockford5762]

Beautiful. I’m looking forward to seeing the shorter, lighter, single axle model L2.

[@MissGoElectric]

We love variety.

[@grahamwatson6570]

The British army tried powered trailers but found they would push the towing vehicle on its side when turning on slippery ground ,, just saying

[@MissGoElectric]

Underlying technology has evolved. The failure of one engineering team does not indicate physical impossibility. -Producer Tim

[@grahamwatson6570]

@@MissGoElectric yea we've learnt about this modern technology being so brilliant 🔥

[@leomajor88]

It has a really low center of gravity because of batter placement, plus in camping mode it’s even lower. It’ll be more difficult for it to tip over.

[@grahamwatson6570]

@@leomajor88 nothing to do with that. The British army found that if the tow vehicle loses traction while turning but the trailer maintained traction it would push the tow vehicle over , it was with 101 forward controls and Sankey trailers I think

[@leomajor88]

@@grahamwatson6570 okay, and what I said had nothing to do with the British army lol. I was talking about physics.

[@oui.monsieur]

Have about a small all in one washer and dyer? Different color options for the sofa etc? A option to do a wall mount tv? Partner up with tesla and include the starlink for those that preorder maybe? Visuals on the 6person layout? Thanks in advance

[@MissGoElectric]

Good questions with answers tba by Lightship.

[@paulcummings55]

I am not by nature a camper or RV'er- but this is NICE! Good luck to them, and good luck with your future purchase;-)

We are quite interested in the L1 for the solar+battery backup capabilities it can add to our home.

[@VictorCaoCA]

I'd really love to see options to mount bikes

[@MissGoElectric]

Perhaps there will be. In the description to this video you will find links to a follow up video which we have filmed. We will keep that up next time we report on this. We really like bikes, too! ebikes.missgoelectric.com -Producer Tim

Live in the UK 🇬🇧 so this would be a tad big for our roads. But would be great fop the states.

[@MissGoElectric]

Sounds like they will be making smaller models in the future so hopefully you will have the option in the coming years to get one!

[@kiutpi]

Can you make a smaller 1500 lb trailer?

[@MissGoElectric]

Why not ditch the truck and drive the L1?

[@MissGoElectric]

It doesn't have a steering wheel 🤓

[@courcheval]

An electric RV without steering wheel. Clearance is dangerously low, dont expect to drive on mountain trails like seen on the video simulations.

[@MissGoElectric]

This is a trailer. It must be towed. -Producer Tim

[@richardwallace4483]

Obviously not designed for the UK roads where something around a third of the size would be more appropriate.

[@MissGoElectric]

This is for the American market. Other brands are producing smaller alternatives. -Producer Tim

[@johnguz76]

No entertainment system?

[@MissGoElectric]

When the product is final, we will understand more about specific features and options. -Producer Tim

[@justneedaccess01]

Not going to work as designed unless you want to be too close to nature's flying bugs the door needs to be configured differently, as well as the rear awning and windows.

[@MissGoElectric]

This prototype holds great promise and we look forward to seeing the production version later this year. -Producer Tim

[@Nphen]

How long until Rich Rebuilds buys a 1990's pop-up camper and puts some salvaged batteries and an electric motor in it? 😂 Lightship might even be worth it for non-EV trucks. Diesel isn't free, and towing a camper sucks down a lot more fuel. Folks already pay $80k for a nice travel trailer and over $100k for a diesel motorcoach. Lightship has the utility of being a power station at home unlike those other RV, which at best are a backyard bunkhouse you power from your home, and at worst, leak through the A/C hole in the roof!

[@MissGoElectric]

We will definitely be using ours as a source of home energy. How awesome would it be to capture 7-10kWh per day from the sun and have backup power whenever the grid goes down? We love the value proposition and the portability. Most folks install those systems into their homes and they have to buy+install again when they move to a new home.

[@phyliciaconstance5372]

I’m Excited About This, But I Would Definitely Appreciate The Ability to Move The Trailer Around Without The Need To Hook Up To My Vehicle 🎉

[@MissGoElectric]

Perhaps Lightship will add that feature. -Producer Tim

[@ROLYATATAK]

No storage

[@MissGoElectric]

It does have storage. Ben talked about it in this video. Most of it is tucked under the front bed and can be accessed outside in an area toward the front/tongue.

[@jacobe5495]

Very similar to Pebble.

[@MissGoElectric]

We also produced and published a highly detailed feature video on the Pebble. Pebble is smaller with lower battery capacity and it does not offer the aerodynamic efficiency of the L1 because it does not compress vertically. Pebble offers dramatically different interior aesthetic and layout. Pebble touts remote control and automated hitch docking and a lower starting price.

[@bc4evernow]

Price is a joke.

[@MissGoElectric]

Isn't it in the same ballpark as the very popular Airstream brand? -Producer Tim

Unaffordable Science Fiction RV!

So far, no company has brought a zero-range-penalty travel trailer to market. We look forward to several options coming over the next few years from a number of manufacturers. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Producer Tim

[@davidmalkowski7850]

I disagree. An RV with this much generation capability in a sunny state like Florida could actually make some serious dents in your electric bill; not to mention being an excellent source of backup power. The tricky bit is to be far enough away from the coast to not immediately get flooded in the event of a hurricane...

[@lindajohnson7675]

Worse than an RV, imho. No bedroom. I didn't see any storage for hanging clothes. And, can't use it while on the road......as far as rest stops. Can't get anything from the fridge or use the restroom. It's a good idea. But, still needs a LOT of work. I DO LOVE the windows though!

[@lindajohnson7675]

​@davidmalkowski7850 Actually, I bought my moterhome and added solar power for round the year use (I live in it.) for MUCH less cost and much more flexibility.
