Tour the All-New, All-Electric LightShip RV
While at the Overland Expo Mountain West, we had the opportunity to tour the all-new, all-electric LightShip RV. This camper is the first of its kind, set to release in 2024, with some pretty unique features. We like the idea of towing a shorter camper, reducing wind drag and increasing gas mileage. This travel trailer is sure to be a show-stopper at any campground, it will be interesting once it’s released to see it in the wild.
Some of the drawbacks we noticed are, you have a 27’ trailer with no dedicated bedroom. The ability to lower the roof for travel eliminates the ability to have any overhead storage space. The surround windows are nice, but do you have the option to add window coverings for privacy? The all-electric features backed by solar seem great, but what happens if anything breaks or you run out of power? Is there a manual override?

The Lightship L1 has a very clean and sleek design. It is 3 times more aerodynamic than the classic travel trailer. This 27' electric RV has a unique shape with smooth edges, a tapered rear, and telescoping hard-sided walls. The trailer moves quickly from Road Mode to Camp Mode. The road mode has 300 miles of all-electric range, a driving height of only 6’9” keeping a low center of gravity and an electric drivetrain on the trailer’s wheels bring you the most stable towing experience possible. While Camp Mode extends the ceiling to 10' tall with an interior height of 7'6”.
The solar roof and awnings are integrated, providing up to 3kW of solar power for up to 7 days of off-grid living. The LightShip L1 has all electric appliances, always-live plugs, and batteries storing up to 80kWh of energy onboard. The luxury RV lifestyle is abound in this carefully thought, meticulously planned camper.
