. After taking several trips, I noticed that a lot of cool cleantech stories out there just weren’t being told, especially in rural areas. So, I decided to come up with ways to make travel a lot cheaper so that I could spend some time every year chasing them. After a couple years of gathering up my own gear, I was all set to buy the last of it and hit the road, but we had several family emergencies in a row that ate up the money.
A third backer I’d like to mention is Robert Neal. I haven’t reached out to him personally as of this writing, but I’ll tell readers more about what he’s excited about soon. But, I already had a “Plan B” I have been working on for a while, and the funding we received will be more than enough to cover it.
The current plan is to have a large rear access door for e-bikes, a galley mounted on one side with a door that serves as an awning, and an access door toward the front for the camping gear. I may also put a slide-out box on the tongue for my 12v refrigerator, but I can’t describe the fridge yet as it’s a review unit that hasn’t been released to the general public yet, so stay tuned!power unit with 3.6 kW of energy storage that will ride in the front of the trailer.
