A $340,000 luxury self-contained camper

It is designed for customers who want to "travel away from campsites and crowded residential car parks". The 8.8-meter caravan is equipped with a solar energy system to fully power the mobile office pre-equipped with Apple products.

The company claims it is the first vehicle ever to produce its own drinking water from the air. Its atmospheric water generator, made by Israeli startup Watergen, extracts moisture from the air and produces almost 20 liters of drinking water per day. Although the caravan is equipped with autonomous systems, in case of emergency it has the possibility to store up to almost 380 liters of water and 36 kg of propane for the kitchen stove, heating, and backup.

For a base price of $339,995, the buyer gets some luxury features, such as 2.4-meter sliding doors leading to a folding deck under an optional solar awning and a bedroom suite where the memory foam bed can be folded into the wall to create a mobile office with a two-meter a walnut table and a 32-inch Apple Pro Retina 6K Display screen. A sound system with six speakers turns the office into a home theater.

The dining area and lounge do double duty, they can also be used as a guest bedroom with an additional trundle bed. So at least four people can sleep in the caravan at the same time. For an additional fee, the sleeping capacity can be increased to six people with the pull-out bunk bed in the living room, which can be pulled down from the ceiling. A 380L water tank can be useful for a bathroom with a solid walnut floor and back panel, a 10-bar towel warmer, an LED mirror with anti-fog technology, and a bidet toilet.

The basic weight of the caravan is 5443 kg. Living Vehicle recommends towing it behind a full-size truck with a towing capacity of at least 7,300 kg. The trailer can be ordered now, but it is made to order with a delivery time of 10 to 12 months. Prices vary by trim, with the top model starting at $509,995.
