New Lightship L1 promises to revolutionise road trips, with its unique telescoping design reducing range anxiety on the road and maximising space at the campsite<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to buy a car as head-turning as the Tesla Cybertruck, you can\u2019t hitch it to some bland-looking blob of a caravan that could be mistaken for a portaloo. What it deserves to be paired with is a caravan as futuristic and technologically advanced as the very latest electric cars, and that\u2019s exactly what the Lightship L1 is meant to be.<\/p>\n

It might look like the L1 was designed by Tesla itself to be the perfect companion for the Cybertruck, but alas not. San Francisco-based start-up Lightship was founded by two former Tesla employees though, and much like the Cybertruck, the L1 was designed from the ground up, with a radically different approach in mind compared to what came before.<\/p>\n

In the L1\u2019s case, Lightship was focused on making the most aerodynamic caravan it could, optimising every element possible to reduce drag, including the tongue box and boat-tail rear end. Then there\u2019s the unique telescopic design, which allows the L1 to measure around three metres tall in \u2018Camp Mode\u2019 or be collapsed down to just 2.1 metres in \u2018Road Mode\u2019 at the touch of a button. The end result is the L1 being three times more aerodynamic than a traditional caravan.<\/p>\n
