The all-new Aboard RV Range Extender Self-Propelled Camping Trailer is a whole new way to approach your next camping adventure. It’s called a “T4”, which means it can sleep four people. This trailer isn’t that big, but it packs a significant punch. Aboard RV says it’s a four-season camper with the ability to live off the grid for about a week. It is equipped with an electric motor on one of its axles, a fairly large battery, a four-cylinder combustion engine/generator and a different floor plan. Let’s dig!
This world debut video is brought to you by RV riding on. This is a sponsored post.
The T4 is approximately 24-feet long. When you combine its main battery and gasoline generator it packs about 200 kWh of energy in total. It claims to have automotive type construction. It combines a steel frame with an aluminum body to form a unibody-type vehicle. It has a door on each side of the camper, and a large clam-shell opening at the back. It runs on a tandem axle setup and weighs approximately 6,200 pounds. The T4 has a gross vehicle weight rating of 7,500 pounds.
The starboard side door brings you into the kitchen area. It is literally in the center of the floorpan and on either side of the hallway. This T4 has very large windows on all sides (except the toilet/shower area on the other side). The door on the port side brings you into the “mud room” and shower/bathroom area. At the front is a semicircular dinette that converts to a queen-sized bed.
The rear section can be configured in two ways. One configuration offers a Murphy-bed that folds into the wall to reveal a small office area. The other configuration is an L-shaped sofa that converts into a bed.
Since this trailer can have a 60 kW electric motor, it helps in pulling the vehicle while moving. We haven’t tested it yet, but we have experience with similar systems. This can reduce MPG or range hits while towing a trailer. It also has solar panels on the roof to collect even more energy.
All this comes at a starting price of $80,000. This is a huge amount, but it is quite low compared to current competitors.
