This $300K Off-Grid Travel Trailer Even Comes With a Walk-In Closet

Along with a laundry list of luxe amenities, Living Vehicle’s smallest RV to date features an enlarged wardrobe that can be turned into a bedroom or an office.

The 24-foot RV is six foot shorter than Living Vehicles next smallest model, and sets a new standard in the luxury travel market.

In the luxury world, bigger is often better, but in the case of high-end travel trailer maker Living Vehicle’s newest RV, the idiom "good things come in small packages" is far more apt. A smaller version of the HD model, which the company announced last year, the HD24 is similarly off-grid capable, but includes a walk-in closet in its 24-foot-long plan, adding an amenity for the traveler who perhaps wants a few more clothing options while parked in a remote locale.

The walk-in only adds to the trailer’s core strengths, says Joanna Hofmann, chief creative officer at Living Vehicle. "The HD24 is small yet mighty. Its state-of-the-art features enable adventurers to experience nature and stay completely independent from traditional utilities without sacrificing comfort." Those features include a robust solar array and energy-storage system, technology that allows the trailer to harvest water from the air, and a media center.

With the capability to carry 100 gallons of fresh water, 600 watts of solar energy, 4,800 kWh of lithium energy, and 2,000 watts of inverter power, the RD24 is capable of powering all on-board appliances for three to seven days off grid—giving adventurers the opportunity to explore further afield.

Living Vehicle was founded in Santa Barbara, California, in 2017 by architect Matthew Hofmann, his wife, Joanna, and his father, Walter "Wally" Hofmann. Matthew and Joanna had spent more than a decade on the road and off the grid, living in mobile spaces, all whilst running Hofmann Architecture with Matthew’s father. The trio customized more than 400 vintage Airstream aluminum trailers before deciding to found Living Vehicle to add a high-end option to the travel trailer market.

The company made its entrance with the HD30, and has since released one with a creative studio for remote work, a 28-foot model, and the 2022 model, which features an upgraded energy storage system that’s now included in all of its trailers. With the HD24, which starts at $299,995, its layout and the others in the series can be customized to accommodate different needs.

Like previous models, the HD24 includes a fold-out deck for indoor/outdoor living.
