RV Show Season Is Here, & Manufacturers Are Thinking About EVs - CleanTechnica

The article from CleanTechnica highlights the evolving landscape of the RV industry as manufacturers begin to prioritize efficiency, particularly in response to the challenges of towing with electric vehicles (EVs). Traditional RV construction methods are being replaced by innovative designs such as Liv’s 100% composite trailers, which eliminate wood to reduce weight and increase durability—critical factors for EV towing where every pound affects range. Additionally, aerodynamic designs like those from Bowlus demonstrate that streamlining trailers can significantly improve EV range, potentially more so than adding powered axles or extra batteries to trailers. The piece also underscores the practical challenges EV owners face when towing, especially given the current limitations of the charging infrastructure. Many new electric truck owners lack towing experience, and the design of EV charging stations—often requiring back-in parking—complicates charging while towing. Workshops like Ford’s Towing Boot Camp provide essential skills for these drivers, helping them manage trailer handling and charging logistics. Overall, the article suggests that while the RV industry is beginning
