Living vs. Travel: Defining the Future of Mobility

At Living Vehicle, we’ve always believed in pushing the limits of mobile living. As we expand our 2026 product line, we’re excited to formally define two distinct travel trailer categories in our portfolio: Living Trailers and Travel Trailers. Both are engineered with purpose—but tailored to very different lifestyles.

And now, with the launch of the all-electric CyberTrailer (CT), our offerings have expanded even further to meet the needs of true travel-focused adventurers.

So how do these two categories differ—and which one is right for you?

Let’s break it down.

What is a Living Trailer?

A Living Trailer is designed to be lived in—full-time or for extended stays. Unlike typical recreational vehicles (RVs), Living Trailers are not just for weekend camping or short getaways. After all, the way you use the RV is in the name itself “Recreational” Vehicle is just that – something designed for recreation.  Living Trailers on the other hand are highly mobile residences with the systems, comfort, and durability you’d expect from a tiny home—but with far more portability.

Living Trailers are road-ready and fully capable of off-grid travel, yet provide the functionality, luxury, and longevity required for real day-to-day living. These models are ideal for those who want to travel and live simultaneously—bringing home with them, wherever they go.

Key Features of Living Trailers:

  • Full-size residential appliances
  • Spa-inspired bathrooms and full showers
  • Dedicated bedrooms and mobile office options
  • Ample storage for long-term living
  • Advanced off-grid power systems
  • Insulation and HVAC systems for all seasons
  • RVIA certified for traditional financing

Two Platforms: HD Series and GT Series

Living Trailers are offered in two distinct platforms—each tailored to a different kind of user, tow vehicle, and layout preference.

‍

HD Series (Bumper-Pull) Living Trailers

Models: HD24 and HD30

The HD Series offers bumper-pull convenience with all the functionality of a high-end mobile home.

  • HD30: Designed for couples or families (2–6 people), the HD30 includes a private bedroom suite with multiple configurations—king, queen, twin beds, or a mobile office layout for those working remotely or creating on the go.
  • HD24: A more compact version of the HD30, ideal for solo travelers or couples who want maximum mobility without compromising key features.

‍

GT Series (Fifth-Wheel) Living Trailers

Models: GT32 and GT39

Built on a fifth-wheel platform, the GT Series offers expanded space and elevated design for those who want the pinnacle of mobile luxury.  Like a fifth wheel, the GT (Gooseneck Trailer) is named from the style of hitch connection to the truck.  A gooseneck uses a ball hitch and is common for commercial towing, while a fifth wheel uses a kingpin.   In fact, there are aftermarket adapters for Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel hitches (and vice versa) depending on your desired hitch setup.  

  • GT32: Compact but refined, ideal for serious travelers and long-term explorers.
  • GT39: The flagship Living Trailer, offering ultimate comfort, off-grid capability, and luxury styling on a rugged platform.

Often referred to as the “luxury motor yacht” of the trailer world, Living Trailers like the GT39 are designed for extended off-grid use while delivering a high-end residential experience on the road.

What is a Travel Trailer?

Where Living Trailers focus on living, Travel Trailers are built around movement. They prioritize tow-ability, efficiency, and mobility, often at the cost of extended comfort and livability.

Travel Trailers are lightweight, easy to tow, and perfect for those who are constantly on the move—spending just a couple of days at each destination before hitting the road again. These models are optimized for adventure-first lifestyles.

Introducing the CyberTrailer (CT): Living Vehicle’s All-Electric Travel Trailer

Living Vehicle’s first dedicated Travel Trailer, the CyberTrailer (CT), is a futuristic evolution of the classic tow-behind camper—designed for those who value mobility, technology, and freedom on the open road.

Built with the same engineering precision as our Living Trailers, the CyberTrailer takes a fresh approach:

  • Ultra-modern aesthetics
  • All-electric systems
  • Advanced solar and lithium power integration
  • Smart energy management
  • Compact, aerodynamic, and tow-friendly

The CyberTrailer is not just lighter—it’s smarter, offering autonomous-level tech for power, resource management, and connectivity. Unlike most conventional travel trailers that require frequent hookups, the CyberTrailer is designed to function independently—empowering more spontaneous and off-the-grid adventures.

Key Features of the CT:

  • Lightweight and optimized for high-mileage towing
  • Hybrid power to leverage off-grid solar and backup power generation
  • Advanced system management and energy awareness
  • Modern, durable materials and futuristic design

How to Choose: Living Trailer vs. Travel Trailer

The right trailer depends entirely on how you want to live and travel.

What About Financing?

Every model Living Vehicle offers—including the CyberTrailer—is RVIA certified, meaning it qualifies for traditional RV financing. Whether you’re investing in a full-time mobile residence or a state-of-the-art travel-focused trailer, financing options are available through trusted lenders.

The Future of Mobile Living

With the addition of the CyberTrailer, Living Vehicle now offers a full spectrum of mobile living solutions—from ultra-luxury fifth wheels to futuristic, lightweight travel trailers.

Whether you’re looking to travel far and light, or settle in and live fully on the road, there’s a Living Vehicle model designed for your lifestyle.

Living Trailers (HD and GT series) offer the ideal solution for extended stays and full-time living—with the feel of a modern apartment and the freedom of the open road.

The CyberTrailer brings a new era of electric, intelligent, and highly mobile travel—built for those who seek more adventure, more independence, and more miles between stops.
