Introducing the Affordable Panos Model from Lightship for their Self-Moving, Electric AE.1 Travel Trailer
Introducing the Lightship AE.1 Atmos and Panos: Revolutionizing Luxury Travel Trailers
In December 2022, the Lightship AE.1 Cosmos Edition made waves in the RV industry, promising Tesla-level innovation for off-grid adventures. The limited-edition trailer, now followed by the Atmos and Panos trims, aims to bring this aero-electric vision to a broader audience.
Innovative Features and Technologies
The Lightship trailers are equipped with the TrekDrive™ propulsion system, which actively assists the tow vehicle, doubling the towing range of electric vehicles or significantly improving fuel efficiency in gas-powered vehicles by providing motorized push and regenerative braking.
Both models boast high-capacity batteries and solar power. The Atmos is equipped with a 77kWh battery and a 1.8kW solar roof, while the Panos has a 44kWh battery and an 840W solar roof. These power sources support all-electric operation off-grid, including appliances and vehicle assistance.
The expandable aerodynamic design ensures towing efficiency, expanding once at camp to offer a spacious interior with high ceilings and generous natural light.
Customizable and Functional Interiors
The Atmos offers a highly customizable living room area convertible into a plush pre-made bed, a versatile, well-appointed kitchen with optional upgrades, and an innovative bathroom designed for space efficiency and easy cleaning. The Panos shares similar comforts with scaled options suitable for a smaller footprint but maintains luxury and practicality.
Premium Materials and Safety
The trailers use lightweight and durable materials such as polycarbonate glass for curved, shatterproof panoramic windows that provide expansive views and protect against road debris.
Advanced Tech and Convenience Features
The trailers come with motorized awnings for outdoor lounging, oscillating twin beds, auto-leveling and stabilization systems, and the LookOut Camera System with three ultra-wide cameras and full perimeter awareness integrated into a digital interface for safer maneuvering and camping.
Build and Mobility
Dual axles with independent suspension and a low center of gravity provide stable and confident towing across different vehicle types—electric, gas, or diesel.
Price Points
The Atmos starts at around $184,000, while the Panos begins at about $151,000.
Reservations and Deliveries
The AE.1 Panos can be reserved through Lightship's website, with deliveries expected to begin in late 2026. The AE.1 Atmos, priced at $184,000, includes a full kitchen with dishwasher and Lightship's AirRight climate control system.
