The camper is expected to be designed for vehicles like the [Rivian](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rivian-x-ikamper-skycamp-mini) [R1T](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skycamp-mini) in mind and would prioritize a lightweight construction to ensure it doesn't add too much additional heft to the vehicle. It's expected to feature a [pop-up roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cfold) to maximize interior space along with solar panels available or as an option to accommodate off-grid charging. The EarthCruiser slide-out EV camper could also be offered in alternative versions to fit other off-road electric vehicle models.
