I hope this technology keeps evolving and adopted in the mainstream and the prices come down. I love my RV, but I will openly admit that typically, unless you want a tiny teardrop trailer - RV-ing still equals a heavy trailer and a V8 pickup. That leaves many folks out of what is a very enjoyable hobby.

Next thing Pebble needs to solve is charging station layout. They need to either develop their own charging network that offers pull-through stations so you can charge your vehicle AND the RV at the same time via DC. Or work with companies like EA/EVgo/Tesla/Rivian/etc. to strategically add capable stalls to their new and existing sites. Doesn't need to be all of them, just ones that make sense. In my opinion, that will be the biggest barrier. I would probably need to charge twice on a 450 mile road trip. The convenience factor goes down exponentially If I can't actually charge the thing practically.

Me too! I've been thinking of these for the past 3 years now. Trailer companies need to start making trailers with batteries in a skateboard platform. They need to be able to plug into the rear of EVs to help provide more range while towing. Though, EV manufacturers will need to have another plug port placed at the rear of the vehicle for that. My thought would have two different lengths of trailer platforms. A shorter one for an open trailer bed used for hauling another car, landscaping and construction companies, an enclosed box trailer for hauling things, or a mini camper. Then a longer platform for bigger campers, horse trailers, or anything else. The extra weight of another larger battery would be a hindrance, but more range would still be provided. However, with innovations in battery technology happening quickly, lighter batteries like solid state will soon be here.

I like the idea of supplementing gas not replacing. Reducing the gas used to pull the trailer by having an electric motor trailer is smart. End of the day, if it runs out of electricity my truck can still pull it and I'm not worse off than normal. But best case scenario the panels keep the battery topped up and now the truck is using less gas to pull the thing. This is how things should be, not an impact to your life in a negative way the way but supplement to your life in a positive way. Kind of pricey though don't think you would recoup your money from gas savings on this thing, but might reduce wear and tear on the truck by having it pull less.

So you think maybe that’s because you practice? So what we’re talking about here is having no need to develop such skill, as anyone can hook up this trailer to a towing vehicle, no skills needed, as the trailer itself will be robotically hitched to the towing vehicle, and so I guess you missed that part. It should be noted, that it’s not just about hooking up to the towing vehicle, it’s about all the other amenities that come along with this type of trailer, and the fact that the one thing they didn’t mention in the video which amazes me that so few people seem to care about, is the impact on the environment or I should say the reduced impact on the environment, and don’t come at me with how we make batteries, because the industry is properly incentivize to find solutions, cut the cost of production by streamlining that whole process, and lessening the impact on the environment, and that’s exactly what innovation is all about, whereas burning fossil fuels, there is no innovation that can clean up that mess. So ICE is dead my friend, and it’s time folks like you get over it, because the world is moving on to a cleaner, greener, future, because it’s either that or you better start looking for another planet, and if you could find another planet, and you could get there, but take that same mentality to the new planet, that screwed up this one, what’s to stop you from doing the same thing to another planet? So no problem can be solved unless it’s first acknowledged, and then faced, and as James Baldwin famously said, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Capeesh.

There are so many problems here .... 1. Sleeping space over a Li-ion battery pack is a potential death trap. Is the battery pack equipped with heat/smoke alarms? 2. How is the battery cooled? 3. The nose wheel is too small for effective operation on dirt or gravel (this thing is for camping, right?) 4. The battery pack must be heavily armored against damage from road debris or uneven surfaces (not mentioned). 5. Batteries are heavy - vehicle weight not mentioned - the product should have 4 wheels, not two, for greater safety. 6. Tire load rating and quality are crucial, a blowout on any 2-wheel camper can be catastrophic and this one is heaviest in its class. 7. The driving dynamics of pulling a trailer that pushes weren't mentioned. A fifth-wheel setup is more stable because pushing force would be applied closer to the tow vehicle's center of mass. Pushing on the tow vehicle's bumper is inherently unstable. 8. Does it have regen braking? How would its regen braking sync with the tow vehicle's regen braking? 9. What is the federal and state legality of motive campers? Where is the developer in the homologation process? Thanks, CNET for the stenographic advert. You totally researched this one.

Cool to be able to park/fine tune rv position without tow vehicle. The range anxiety issue is a result of using a much less energy dense energy source/storage. Simply batteries dont have the energy density. It’s just physics. Example. My truck can tow 16k without a blink. With auxiliary tank I have 800 mile range. 15 minutes to gas up and boom another 800 miles. Leave the EV guy and his fancy trailer at the charging station while he sips a latte in his skinny jeans and man bun wondering if he is ever going to get to his destination. Another example applying great tech to wrong problem.

I've never seen someone try so hard to explain why backing up to a trailer is 'just a hard physics problem'... like no sir.... it is not that difficult. If you can't get that part of it done, should you be concerned about having a 7k-pound self-propelled weight pushing your car around on the road--because THAT may be a hard physics problem. What happens when that thing hits a slick spot in the road or you get passed by a semi and it starts to wiggle a little? You still need a vehicle that can pull a trailer of this weight and not exceed the GCVWR. Perhaps a more useful addition would have been a battery pack in the trailer that connects via plug to extend the range on your EV. If you aren't pulling this with an EV, it makes no practical sense. Not that it makes a lot of sense anyway. There seem to be some very large safety considerations that no one is talking about.

It’s cheaper than I was expecting.

Amazing concept but they should have done more research on top of the range caravans like Zone RV or Lotus that have a lot better tech than some of these features. Also this would never work off-road. Hopefully the next generations will be more refined!

Ok... so this is cool and all, but the hooking up a trailer to a hitch being hard got me. I'm pretty sure anyone in the market for this will have a backup camera... and if you can't hook up to a trailer with ease using a backup camera, we can't be friends.

Good grief, they make it sound like backing up to attach a trailer is like going to the moon. “Very, very hard”. He said. No, it’s not and if you aren’t capable of such a simple task I’d feel much safer if you left towing to that are. Geez, my son was doing at 12.

Not sure how these folks have overlooked the well known fact that you can't have a trailer push at all with our current ball and coupling hitch design. Once a trailer gets any side or forward motion, it over powers the vehicle and causes the vehicle to lose control. That is why there has been so much effort into designing anti-sway devices. But again this will not work if the trailer tries to push a vehicle at all. Can't wait for the dumpster file this will cause.

The trailer won’t push at all. Trailer brakes work to assist breaking via vehicle brake tip in. Doesn’t mean the trailer is ever pulling on the truck when it is braking. If a vehicle is using 250 HP to pull a trailer and itself up a grade, this trailer may assist 50-100 HP at that moment. In doing so the truck is still very much exerting a pulling force on the hitch - just not as much.

Not sure 200k would cover the MPG savings.

So electric assist helps mpg when it's on? What about all the added weight you have to pull when it's off? Electric caravan movers have been a thing for years as well. This just looks like an overweight van that adds expense to cure non existent problems and I seriously doubt it will ever sell if it even reaches production.
