Reinventing Trailering: Pebble Flow, the Ultimate RV Companion
As outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers, we all love the freedom and excitement of experiencing nature on our terms. But, one of the biggest roadblocks in this experience is often getting there. Whether heading out alone or with family and friends, we often need an RV or trailer to carry all our gear and equipment. Towing can be intimidating and daunting, mainly when it's associated with potentially reducing the range of our vehicles by as much as half. But, with the Pebble Flow, we can say goodbye to the range and towing capacity limitations. Let's dive into the details of this modern-day RV.
First, let's talk about what is entailed in getting to the destination. The Pebble Flow is ultimately a home on wheels, so let's assume bags are packed and your family is ready to go. The engineers at Pebble had the foresight to incorporate the technology to have the Flow self-hitch.
The robotic software that senses its surroundings makes all of this possible. Move your vehicle into proximity, or move your Pebble Flow closer to your vehicle (More on the later), and the Flow will do the rest.
Now your bags are packed, the Pebble Flow is hooked up, and the real journey can begin. The Flow is an RV built with the soul of an EV. It is designed to be the ultimate companion for adventurers who enjoy road trips and camping (or glamping). It has dual electric motors that help propel the trailer during highway-speed towing. This takes the load off the host vehicle, resulting in improved fuel efficiency when towing with a combustion vehicle and improved range when towing with an electric truck or SUV. You can now spend less time at the gas station or electric charging points.
So, what is under the hood? The Pebble Flow packs a punch with its 45-kilowatt-hour battery pack, enough power to stay off-grid for a whole week. The regenerative braking will help to keep the battery topped off during travel. One of the most outstanding features of the Pebble Flow is its 1kW solar roof. This solar roof allows the Pebble Flow to produce electricity independent of traditional charging stations. If the Pebble Flow has enough power, it can supply power to your home during outages, making it a great addition to your emergency preparedness kit. This is also great for those who want to enjoy nature away from the hustle and bustle of crowded campsites.
It is important to note that the Pebble Flow's design is a sight to behold. Its slick and aerodynamic shape is not only visually appealing but also functional. The design is intended to reduce wind resistance while towing, which helps improve efficiency and reduce range anxiety.
Once at the campsite, it is as simple as unhooking the Pebble Flow and using the remote system to guide the Flow into position. Using the onboard motors and the internal control system, it's as simple as point and click. Once the Flow has been maneuvered into position, the internal system goes to work leveling and deploying the RV's stabilizers, stairs, and awnings, also known as "Instant Camp."
The Pebble Flow also provides an unmatched living experience with eco-friendly and sustainable interiors. It has a spacious and comfortable interior space with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom.
The main bedroom at the vehicle's aft can be converted to an office space when not in use as a sleeping area. The queen Murphy bed can be lifted, revealing a desk underneath.
At the front of the Pebble is the dining area, which can be converted to a sleeping area (Full-Size Bed) to make the Flow comfortable for a family of four.
Pebble made sure to give those who love cooking a chef's kitchen. The kitchen features a removable indoor/outdoor induction range, a convection microwave oven, and a full-size fridge. The chef can serve people in the dining room or through the pass-through fold-down service window to the people outdoors.
What RV would be complete without a nice spa bathroom?
To make the area feel more spacious, you can adjust the transparency of the shower glass. The bathroom features LED lighting, contemporary fixtures, and a macerating toilet. The Flow has a freshwater tank that holds 37 gallons of water. The grey and black water tanks can hold up to 50 gallons.
The Pebble Flow is equipped with a whisper-quiet HVAC system that can be preset to ensure it's at the right temperature when you are ready to inhabit it. The Flow makes use of natural light and ventilation, which helps lower energy consumption while keeping the indoors comfortable. The wraparound panoramic windows offer up to 270 degrees of views, ensuring you don't miss a moment of your surroundings. Surrounding like this….
The Pebble Flow is open for pre-orders, but first deliveries are expected at the end of 2024. You can expect a starting price point of $109,000 with the ability for optional upgrades at a later date.
Conclusion: Towing a heavy trailer can be challenging, but we can say goodbye to these limitations with the Pebble Flow. The Pebble Flow is the ultimate RV companion, from its ability to power itself to its eco-friendly and sustainable interiors that provide unmatched living experiences to its impressive towing capacity that improves fuel efficiency and range. The Pebble Flow is a game-changer and a testament to the progress of the EV industry. With the Pebble Flow, we can confidently hit the open road, knowing that the journey to our destination will be as enjoyable as the destination itself.
