The new all electric L1 Lightship RV Trailer

Posted on sustainedandable

‘The Lightship L1 is a tow-behind trailer rather than a drivable unit. You can pull it with a gas-powered or electric vehicle, but in either scenario, it has a major advantage over competing products: an on-board battery system that helps the trailer propel itself and preserve fuel efficiency on the vehicle in front.’ Source: https://www.pcmag.com/news/head-out-on-the-highway-first-look-at-lightships-electric-rv ‘The L1 was tightly engineered for zero emissions, for comfort, and built to last.

‘SOURCE® Hydropanels™ replace the need for plastic bottles or costly water filtration systems. Make your own renewable, perfectly balanced drinking water without any additional infrastructure.’ Source: https://www.source.co/residential/ ‘First, the hydropanel takes in ambient air via fans and collects water vapor from that air onto a hygroscopic material (that can absorb moisture). With heat from the sun, the hydropanel converts water vapor collected into liquid water, “made pure.” The pure water is mineralized with magnesium and calcium to achieve an ideal taste profile. Finally, sensors in each hydropanel monitor and optimize the water to maintain quality. Sounds refreshing. The hydropanels produce an average of 3-5 liters of clean drinking water per day (or up to 1.3 gallons). They
