Solar Powered Electric Airstream Travel Trailer is Perfect For Off Grid Travelers. Airstream has partnered with Thor Industries and created what I believe to be the best travel trailer ever invented. With a 900W solar powered battery pack, dual motor system remote control maneuvering to park your trailer in just the right spot, this has it all. The dual motors cut down on drag coefficient and improves towing efficiently greatly because the trailer itself is powered by it’s own battery pack, and 900W solar power charging system.
I haven’t seen many travel trailers that can complete with Airstream in quality and features, and this innovation, in my opinions make this new EStream Airstream the new go-to glamping and off grid travel trailer on the market. This is the quintessential solar powered travel trailer.
Off Grid Technology
As you know from reading my articles on this blog, I am a techy and I love new tech. I also have a great love and passion for the off grid lifestyle and living rustically in the wilderness in a hand built log cabin. I like BOTH lifestyles. The glamping is for me if I’m traveling, and I love to travel to see new things.
I can’t think of a better way to not only make pulling a heavy travel trailer more efficient (especially up and down mountains), it makes your camping life easier. It luxury, it’s glamping, yes, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I love being comfortable while camping and traveling to remote areas of the country.
Take a gander at this video below and see the new technology:
Is “Glamping” Really Living Off Grid?
Well, it you’re a full time RV’er and travel the country and live in a travel trailer, camper trailer or custom converted cargo van living the Vanlife, then yes, this is about as off grid as you can get. It’s also very comfortable and brings with it Airstream’s reputation for building the best travel trailers on the market.
Built-In 900W Solar Panel Array On Roof For Charging
The built-in 900W solar array on the roof in a nice touch. No more clunky ugly solar panels mounted, drilling holes in your roof. These are designed into the roof to keep is “stream-lined” just like all Airstream travel trailers are.
You can even tow this baby with a Tesla electric vehicle. I mean. Come on! You can’t get more high-tech than that.
The Future of Off Grid Technology
In my opinion I think this is the future of off grid technology in general. More efficiency, longer range travel, more comfort, and if you tow your EStream with a Tesla you have TWO large battery packs to power your off grid travel lifestyle. You can truly be a high-tech off grid nomad.
This is not for all homesteaders who just want their piece of nature in the remote wilderness and life off grid unencumbered by the status-quo of the system.
This however about traveling off grid, and charging as you go.
A self powered travel trailer that makes it like you’re not towiing anything at all. Plus a locking feature with the motors that makes it theft proof; or at the very least much harder for thieves to take your trailer (it happens). The Estream is more secure, reduces wear and tear on the tow vehicle, increases efficiency and charges itself.
It’ll even connect to the internet and allows you to use Alexa to dim the lights in the trailer.
This whole system is very cool, in my humble opinion. I would love to have something like this. Except I’d likely tow it with the Perfect Apocalypse Survival Vehicle, The Tesla Cybertruck
