Electric RV\u2019s are coming from THOR<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, excuse me, these won\u2019t be available for this Valentine\u2019s Day getaway, but they are so cool I couldn\u2019t keep them a secret any longer.\u00a0 THOR Industries has announced their new eMobility Strategy \u2013 which translates to \u2013 they are starting to manufacture electric RV\u2019s and electric RV trailers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THOR Vision Vehicle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This Class B+ Electric vehicle is designed to sleep two and travel up to 300 miles. From our experience, that\u2019s more daily distance than we ever plan to travel on long-distance trips. We like to keep it under 200, so this would more than suit our needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airstream eStream Towable RV with an electric drivetrain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This trailer is even more amazing, with its own drivetrain, meaning it can be parked or moved without a tow vehicle attached. With the new battery array in development now, this will have 30 times more battery power than any of their current trailers, making it possible to camp in-style and off-grid for up to two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
