You nailed it! - Jebby14Explorerso its going to be a motorhome but the toad goes in front and I ride in it?
- Iraqvet05ExplorerYou 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.

A bit of a leaf of faith though, they are also talking of autonomous Airstream trailer, lol.
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 - ScottGNomad

Life is perfect! - gboppExplorerEliminate the 'Electric Engine' and replace it with the new Ford 7.3 gas engine. :)
