At this year’s RV SuperShow in Florida, Winnebago unveiled the eRV2 all-electric motorhome prototype, which is an evolution of the company’s original eRV concept from last year.electric chassis which offers a maximum estimated range of 108 miles , the Winnebago eRV2 is meant to show the world that RVs can be zero-emissions, too, not just ordinary cars.
To make this happen, the American motorhome manufacturer equipped its concept vehicle with a 48-volt, 15-kWh battery pack stored under the floor that can power all the interior amenities for up to seven days without the need to recharge from an outlet. To achieve this, the prototype RV uses a set of 900-Watt solar panels that feed power to the under-floor batteries, and by the company’s estimates, campers would need at least four hours of sunlight per day to make it to one-week off-grid.
Even with the help of solar panels, however, the air conditioning and heater are off-limits when power is low, but outdoor lovers can cook meals, take showers, run the refrigerator, and operate the roof fan overnight. Inside, the eRV2 uses recycled materials throughout, including in the flooring, floor mats, mattress, and trimming around the window frames, while the cab seat coverings are made with renewable plant-based textiles, and the acrylic countertops are made from biodegradable materials.
