Electric travel trailer with rooftop solar, a new model of energy independence

Camping in an electric travel trailer equipped with rooftop solar, full amenities and true energy autonomy. That is the vision behind Flow Magic Pack, the all-electric model developed by California-based Pebble. Measuring 7.6 meters in length, the trailer integrates a rooftop photovoltaic system rated at about 1.1 kW, designed to keep the onboard battery topped up during stops. Its minimalist look and tapered lines are not just aesthetic, they are engineered to improve efficiency on the road.

Aerodynamic design and smart energy management

According to the manufacturer, the streamlined shape makes the electric travel trailer up to 300 percent more efficient than conventional caravans, with tangible benefits for energy consumption and driving range, especially when towed by an electric vehicle. A sloped front and sculpted rear improve airflow and reduce drag on the towing car.

Most onboard functions are managed through a dedicated app, allowing users to control lighting, climate, access and operating modes. The result is a smart trailer that behaves more like a connected device than a traditional camper.

Electric travel trailer interiors built for work and life on the move

Inside, the Pebble Flow features bright, open spaces thanks to large panoramic windows. Mosquito screens on doors and windows, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and two convertible sleeping areas allow accommodation for up to four people. The kitchen includes built-in appliances, while a large opening window creates a direct connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

One of the standout features is Room Flip mode, which converts the bed into a compact desk, enabling a quick shift from relaxation to remote work. For those working while traveling, Starlink connectivity is also available, ensuring internet access even far from urban areas.

Up to seven days of electric autonomy

At the core of the electric travel trailer is a 45 kWh LFP battery integrated into the floor, delivering up to seven days of energy self-sufficiency. The battery powers household appliances and the trailer’s electric drive systems and can also serve as a backup power source for a home in emergency situations.

Charging options include:

  • AC and DC charging from public stations, campsites or a home connection
  • rooftop solar panels
  • regenerative charging while being towed

The rooftop solar array allows the trailer to recharge even when stationary, reducing reliance on external power sources.

Assisted driving and autonomous maneuvers

Another defining feature is assisted towing. Two integrated electric motors help reduce the load on the towing vehicle, extending overall driving range. Motorized wheels also enable advanced maneuvers such as remote parking and automatic alignment for hitching.

Pricing starts at around USD 110,000, with market availability expected from March 2026.
