"I saw this couple that bought a boat and lived in London and renovated it. They had the most amazing life because they were living a city life but with half the bills, basically."
The Off-Grid Luxury Mobile Double Office is a trailer-based unit that packs two fully independent workspaces and a sleeping area into a 26-ft (7.9-m) frame, all while running entirely on solar power.

Hyundai is serious about its ambitions of providing off-the-grid, liveable mobility for adventure seekers, and that's proo enough with their latest STARIA Camper concept.

The World Traveler 22RB, as it's officially labeled (a nod to the 22-foot length and bed in the rear of the trailer), is new to North America after the model name debuted in Germany in August. As the RV industry continues to struggle in the U.S. after pandemic highs, Airstream seems to be introducing this trailer to court new buyers with a more affordable price point (starting at $63,800) and easy-to-tow design that may not require upgrading to a larger truck or SUV.
