Came across this amazing electric camper startup (Pebble). This product seems to be a perfect compliment for our Rivian adventure vehicles! I just put down a $500 refundable deposit….this is exactly how my Rivian purchase started back in 2020, so exciting!

I have a preorder with them and Lightship. I like the Lightship more, but the Pebble does have some nice features. We’ll see what we end up getting when the time comes.

I put down my deposit the day it was announced. The builders expertise, vision and technology are spot on for a perfect compliment to my R1T.

I’ve been follow them for a while, but just wish I was in the tax bracket to get into one! Those that are? …You lucky ducks!

Also I don’t think I need something that big. I’d be into an Obi Dweller 13 or 15 that was EV optimized with a little more aero. That would be great.

EV oriented camper trailers are starting to become a reality and it’s exciting as hell!

It's got some nice features, but I can't handle all those windows. I should be hidden from public view, not showcased.

Oh - they have that covered with smart glass windows that you can control from the app...

I don't trust it. One minute I could be walking around inside in my underwear and the next I'm arrested for public indecency because my electrochroamatic window shades malfunction.?‍♂

Looks cool and want one, but my biggest concern with these electric trailers is that I imagine it being very difficult to charge on the road. While it will enable overall range increase for your tow vehicle, it will do so by depleting its own battery, which will require a recharge. It’s hard enough to charge while towing, and I fear it would be very challenging if not impossible in most cases to charge both your EV and E-trailer at a public charge stop. ideally you’d make 1 stop and charge both at the same time. But in practice I think the realistic best case scenario is a pull-through RAN, where you charge your EV for X minutes, do a 180 and then charge your trailer for another Y minutes, which doubles your charge time. The most likely scenario is there is no pull through and you cant charge both and just charge your EV which will limit how much power you have left to power the trailer’s systems when you get to camp.

So while it solves some problems, it creates others…

I'm jelly (but would absolutely do the same thing if I were in your shoes).

I'd need my salary to double overnight to justify anything anywhere near this thing.

But! Hopefully this spawns more influence into the tow-behind RV world and eventually a more economical solution comes to market :)

The good news is that privacy glass almost always fails to opaque (lost voltage). The bad news: your kid just stole your iPad and is pressing buttons while you are in the shower.
