Lightship’s AE.1 Cosmos Edition is the world’s first Aero-Electric travel trailer designed, manufactured and assembled in the U.S. This breakthrough transportation innovation blends aesthetics, engineering, and functionality into a new form of recreational mobility. Inspired by design disciplines spanning automotive, architectural, nautical, interior, digital, and industrial, it’s more than a travel trailer; it’s a holistic design system. Components serve multiple purposes, combining beauty and utility for a user-friendly, intuitive experience. Its superior aerodynamics and TrekDrive™ power system enable near-zero range loss for EVs and greater efficiency for gas vehicles. A 77kWh battery and 1.8kW integrated solar roof power a fully electric off-grid camping experience—no propane, no generator. Inside, are two convertible sleeping areas, a galley kitchen, full bathroom, and app-connected climate control system. Every element reflects design innovation at its finest: intelligent, efficient, and sustainable.
