I would not call it ugly. It is definitely different. If I was still in the market I would consider one. -

So they're basically motorhomes minus a front axle and driving compartment. -
Soon two new RVs are coming that have their own motors and are self-propelled so no reduction of range of any tow vehicle gas or electric. I believe they will redefine how RVs are built and come with and without motors. But the heating, cooling, cooking systems are radically new. No drapes because the windows go opaque at the touch of a switch. The stabilizers and steps all are automatic – just too many new inventions and design improvements to mention. Worth a look at what I consider the first improvement in RV systems in decades. Pricey too. Already beginning production now - The L1 Lightship is taking orders already. It is also an all-electric RV that powers itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_8W4keDWb0 Here is the newest one, The Pebble Flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmk5lCaPvII We towed a 36 foot 5h wheel RV for seven years of full-time living with a 1992 Dodge Ram 1 ton Diesel Dual rear wheel long bed diesel truck. It got almost 20 mpg with no load but dropped to 10mpg when the heavy trailer was being towed. So diesel and gas vehicles will lose a lot of range towing as well as EV cars and trucks, depending on the load weight and size. But those trailers had no engine or solar, just the old fashioned RV 5th wheel. The Pebble Flow above is in prototype so may be another two years before it comes to market. -

Kirk, great observations. To get their perspective, I just created a poll in the Xscapers Facebook group. I'll report the results here in a few days. I think this will make a good article for the magazine! If anyone wants to talk in more detail, message me. Thanks!
