  • With the transition to electric vehicles, the way we travel needs to change too. And at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, the Pebble Flow is providing a glimpse at how an RV designed for the EV age should function.

    Great video, I have seen several overviews of the Pebble, and this answered questions that others did not address. I still have a couple can you charge the battery from a 30-amp outlet at a campground? what is size of the fridge?what is n the weight o f the trailer? What is the power draw of the ac and heat pump that is how long can you stay off grid running either of these systems? And finally, if you are off grid for an extended period of time, it is all about re harging the battery, how much solar is there, can you increase the solar input? What are all the ways to charge the battery ?

      Not really. You need water and sewage in addition to electricity. Then local municipal governments want property taxes if you are full time and not in a RV park. Many people bought tiny houses thinking they can just park it somewhere and live. Nope.

      Everything else most of the time can be done for free. Free dump stations & water fillers (rare, but somewhat common). Usually a catch. But worth it.
      Also for the property tax. You can just claim that you’re homeless, and say you travel in the RV time-to-time. Plead the 5th, some luck, you win.

      I really wish they had added an option for a larger solar array. In theory you could charge both the RV and the tow vehicle fast enough to drive indefinitely if the solar array was big enough. There's plenty more room on top of the RV to accommodate it. This has been something of a pipe dream of mine for a while; electric vehicle towing rv that recharges the vehicle. Not sure why nobody has gone for this yet.

    To be honest, I'm excited for this trailer! Just not the current model. At 6.2K dry weight, it's too heavy for most hybrid vehicles to carry. Even the new 2024 Land Cruiser comes in at 6K max tow. It's honestly a shame, because I see major potential for a camper like this not to have an EV towing it (due to battery life/recharge time issues), but instead for a hybird SUV/truck for camping. LC will ship with a 2.4 kW inverter standard; the new F150 Hybrid can tow 8000 and comes with a 7.5 kW inverter. If the camper can backfeed into said hybrid, imagime the fual savings of using electric at low gear and gasoline on the highway, then being able to spend gas to recharge the trailer and be remote for as long as you like, short of having to grab more jerry cans. THAT's where I think the utility is.

    The "last a week" battery claim is misleading. When you drive out to a spot the propulsion system is going to drain the battery down to almost nothing. 1kW worth of solar panels will probably help you keep you going while the Sun is still out plus a couple of hours and then the battery will be dead at that point. So really what they mean is if you do not use the battery for propulsion, park out in the open, the temperature is a perfect 65 degrees, and you have day after day of full Sun, you might make it a week. Otherwise, but still no propulsion, its 2 or 3 days at best. HVAC uses a lot of energy, as does heating water, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, range.

    There is no chance for that EV assist while driving to be safe. You have "dumb" electric assist here, I guess wheels just react when car is accelerating putting more power on RV wheels and when car is slowing it reduces that assist... But what if wheels lost traction? Does it have ESP, ABS? Does it have disc drives? You cant push your car with that thing! It could create momentum turning at the trailer mounting point and then throwing the trailer and car sideways! It's insane! To work properly it must be integrated with car's systems! And I don't believe it's even possible for more than one model of a specific car...
