Airstream, based in Jackson Center, has introduced a concept of the nation's first electric camper that parks itself.
Airstream is testing an electric travel trailer that could go off-grid for weeks at a time, park itself into a camping spot and help propel itself down the road."There's nothing like it in the industry," said Bob Wheeler, CEO and president ofAirstream introduced the trailer at an RV show in Tampa two weeks ago.
Charged by a solar array on the trailer's roof, the batteries would also power lights, appliances and other devices in the trailer, eliminating the need for propane. The trailer itself, while unmistakably Airstream, is 8 inches narrower than conventional Airstreams and without air conditioner boxes and vents on the roof to make it more streamlined.
Wheeler said Airstream hopes to test one or two of the campers in real-world conditions. In addition, the company will solicit feedback from 800 potential customers who have requested information on the trailers, along with the company's dealers.
