You nailed it!

You wouldn't need a 7.3 if this idea actually works. A NA 4 cylinder in a vehicle that can handle the tongue weight of an Airstream can be used. I believe the idea here is the trailer won't put any towing load on the tow vehicle. I assume (like my Traxass electric RC truck) the trailer braking would also controlled by the motor and speed controller. I can see this technology helping tremendously when towing in strong head winds, at higher elevations and up steep grades.

But maybe not impossible with that big and wide floor space to put the battery array.LOL!

Great, so not only will my cars of the future go places without me, now my RV can go camping without me.

Like people who buy autonomous cars because they hate driving, this might be great for people that hate camping!

Bravi! You made my day. :B

And if the Airstream has enough towing power, you can make it pull a toad.

Life is perfect!

Eliminate the 'Electric Engine' and replace it with the new Ford 7.3 gas engine. :)

Oooooo, an “electric engine”.

Good job, Rachel :R
