Right now, there are several companies developing a travel camper specifically for EVs. This includes travel trailer giant Airstream and one of the nation''s largest RV dealers: Camping World. A European company by the name of Dethleffs has a prototype (pictured below), and Polydrops already has one on the market.
I suspect that when camping trailers for EVs start hitting the market they will come in a variety of sizes, aerodynamic shapes, and with various features and specs. Mostly because these large companies haven''t made a camper like this before, it will be a first. The majority of traditional camper trailers aren''t very high tech. It''s hard to imagine that any of these companies are experienced with battery packs, solar panels, and electric motors. They will likely consult with companies who know more about EV technology.
Not only that, they don''t really know what EV owners want out of campers yet. Some of these companies could be conducting focus group studies or reading articles like this one, and the comments.
Martin, another InsideEVs commenter listed these features he''d like to have:
>10 kWh capacitySmart towing: trailer is aware of forces at tow hitch and reacts accordingly, is aware of up-/downhill predictionsReplaces trailer control (security feature)Replaces "mover" (slow autonomous remote-controlled movement for trailer positioning)Autonomous 230V system inside trailerTrailer can be connected to grid and buffer solar energy when parked at home
I''m looking for a zero emission electric camping trailer, no gas/propane at all, electric cooking & heating. The 4680 high voltage cell-to-chassis technology would facilitate a weight saving trailer structure. A Tesla or CCS charging outlet would facilitate fast DC transfer from the trailer to the vehicle (bidirectional is better). Trailer kWh capacity should match towing vehicle capacity i.e. 100 kWh if towing with a Tesla Model X.
Thunderbuck wants to see this in an upcoming camper made for EVs:
My dream: a trailer with its own small battery pack that can integrate with an EV''s battery. Trailer would have driven wheels that would regen in concert with the tow car''s regen, and could be driven under high-demand conditions (mountain highway grades, for instance).
I''ve got a Cyber on order and am planning to get an RV trailer for an extended road trip. The closer I can be to grid free (no carbon footprint?) the better. Induction stove and electric/compost toilet, HVAC etc. looks like retrofitting work to me. I''m pretty sure I can handle it all but it would be nice to see commercial offerings already filling this void.
Like with most things, everyone has their own opinion on the best route to go. Now, I know this is just a few opinions and isn''t everything that EV owners want with a camper. But, it gives us and travel trailer companies a better idea of what EV owners want.
EV owners, do you agree with the above InsideEVs readers? If there are other features you''re looking for please let us know in the comments below.

With that kind of energy storage, a contractor could power their entire job site for days without needing to recharge the truck. And Chevrolet says it can power the essential loads in an average home for up to 21 days, provided the power is utilizedjudiciously.
All Silverado EVs will come standard with the Offboard Power system that has seven outlets; six 120-volt, 20-amp, and one that''s 240-volt, 30-amp. There''s one 120-volt outlet in the eTrunk (don''t call it a frunk to GM reps!), one more in the cab, four 120-volt outlets (two banks of two) in the rear right side of the bed, and one 240-volt, NEMAL14-30 outlet, which is a typical generator outlet configuration. However, customers can buy any number of adapters to use equipment with different plugs attached.
For Silverado EV owners that need more power, an optional Power Bar can be purchased which will deliver an additional 3 kW of power. The Power Bar plugs into the vehicle''s J1772 charge port and delivers the power from there. The DC to AC inverter is built into the Power Bar box which can be offered with a variety of different plug configurations.
Chevrolet hasn''t announced the price of the Power Bar, what plug configurations will be offered, or exactly when it will be available to order as of yet.

Chevrolet has also been advertising that the Silverado EV will be able to charge other EVs from the Offboard Power system, and we learned quite a lot about how that will happen at the media drive event last week.
First off, customers will not be able to use the Silverado EV''s supplied dual-voltage portable charging cable with Offboard Power to charge other EVs as Ford F-150 Lightning owners can with their vehicle''s portable charger and the Pro Power Onboard system. That''s because the portable EVSE is a 32-amp unit, and the maximum power output of the 240-volt outlet of the Offboard Power is 30-amps. Therefore, the system would overload and shut down.
Therefore, Chevrolet is going to sell a vehicle to vehicle charging cable that will plug into the Silverado''s charge port and then into the other EV''s charge port and charge the vehicle directly. That cable will deliver up to 6 kW. As with the Power Bar, Chevrolet hasn''t announced pricing or when it will be available to order, but we''ll stay on top of it and let you know when it''s ready for ordering.
Ford had the same problem when it launched the F-150 Lightning because it''s single 240-volt Pro Power Onboard outlet also has a 30-amp limit. But they chose a different solution. Ford when to the manufacturer of the portable charger, Webasto, and told them to de-rate it so the maximum power output would be 30-amps, allowing it to plug into Pro Power Outboard with an adapter and charge other EVs.
The interesting thing is the same portable charger, when purchased with the Ford Mustang Mach-E, will deliver the full 32-amps and won''t work with the Lightning''s Pro Power System, because of those extra 2-amps. I''ve had more than a couple of my followers contact me because they tried to do just that and it didn''t understand why it wouldn''t work
