A new concept for a travel trailer!
Thor, and Airstream have come up with a trailer that is also EV assisted! Be sure and check out the link to the powertrain demonstration.

An elaborate and expensive solution in need of a problem.

airstreams are already pricey on their own. add in e-motor drive and the price must be huge!
the addition of drive motor to trailer does not mean a small SUV can now tow a trailer heavier than the vehicle is rated for. you expecting to tow
your power-assisted airstream with a honda accord?
if you need an aid to back a trailer into space too tight for a large tow vehicle, then try a cheaper solution like a motorized trailer dolly
Woke!

It's not on my bucket list!
For the price that trailer will probably sell for, I could get a very nice 4x4 truck and camper that would suit my needs a lot better.
I could probably pull it with my 22-year-old Trooper, but that doesn't seem right. A 4k truck pulling a 100k camper?
Here is a different feed, and still not much information!

Why? Just another way to move money from your pocket to theirs.

Pretty cool! Give it 10 years to mature, and there will be some interesting options.
