KZ Recreational Vehicles Debuts Self-Sustaining Travel Trailer at RVX Show

New Atlas reports on a new style of trailer for an evolving breed of traveler, called the Sonic X from KZ Recreational Vehicles. With its solar-backed lithium battery bank, the 26-footer is designed to run off-grid indefinitely. It also includes lightweight carbon fiber construction, a fresh water harvesting system and insulation-boosting technology for better performance, autonomy and efficiency.
At the RVX trade show in Salt Lake City, the Sonic X was a runner-up in the "City Escape" category, though it could have just as easily earned its spot in the "Sustainability" or "On the Horizon" (cutting edge/futuristic product) categories. KZ RV has some inherent advantages when experimenting with new technologies and design techniques. It applies a variety of new strategies to the Sonic X concept, starting with a carbon fiber body designed to decrease overall weight while maintaining robust durability. Below that glimmering carbon, the Huck-bolted frame offers five times the strength of a welded construction, according to KZ.
