The [Lightship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightship-l1-rv) [L1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l1-trailer) trailer is an aerodynamic design that embodies a futuristic mindset due to its entirely electric build. It is described as a “clean-sheet approach to building an [all-electric recreational vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-motorhomes)." The trailer is battery-powered and has a minimal look measuring 27 feet long, 8 feet and 6 inches wide, and 6 feet 9 inches in head space when it is in road mode. It has a wedge-like look and is three times more aerodynamic that a traditional version of its equivalent.

CEO and Co-Founder of Lightship, Ben Parker speaks to the downfall of innovation within the RV industry and the company's goals to push towards sustainable and progressive design. He states, “Inefficient, unreliable product designs and a power experience that relies on smelly, noisy, gas or propane generators fundamentally hinder the amazing experience of traveling in the outdoors.”
