The 2020 Living Vehicle CORE configuration hosts a staggering 1,320 watts of solar that comes standard.
The Solar Awning package doubles the amount of solar and increases solar power to 2,640 watts with the addition of 12 thin-film, lightweight and flexible backed solar panels installed along a 36” auto-extending shade awning.
To deploy the Solar Awning, it takes a matter of seconds and is accomplished with the simple flip of a switch. Two linear actuators extend the all-aluminum and stainless steel “cantilevered wing” structure out 36 inches past the edge of the surface of the LV.
Not just a manner to double the solar capacity, the awning is a true functional work of art. The awning runs the full length of the entry side of the Living Vehicle. With the majority of window area on the entry side, the awning provides an extremely durable shade structure for abundance of glass area.
The Solar Panels on LV have been completely redesigned with a 450% weight savings from the previous model. Not only are the panels very light, they are extremely durable and able to withstand large hail impacts.
The Solar Awning package allows the energy system, no matter the size, to be recharged twice as fast.
A new option for 2021 and exclusively available on the PRO model is Level 2 charging for electric vehicles.
This allows companion vehicles to be charged at about 15 times the speed of the standard Level 1 charging. Powered by dual 8 kW inverters with a total power of 16,000 Watts, this option provides a tremendous amount of power. This amount of power while available off-grid is staggering. Put into comparison, 12,000 watts is the total amount of power available on a Class A 50-amp style plug that is found to power most large diesel busses and motorhomes when plugged in to a proper shore-power connection. This means you literally have more power available than a full-size diesel coach plugged in to shore power. Oh yea, the surge capacity goes well beyond 16,000 Watts. Crazy.
As we anxiously await the pending arrival of Electric Tow Vehicles (ETVs) such as the Tesla Cybertruck®, you can bet we’ll be ready.

The Energy Integration package provides a reliable and always-available source of power supply by integrating the power of the tow vehicle with the LV Energy system. This is accomplished with the installation of a high-voltage alternator in the tow vehicle.
This package provides an excellent redundant supply of power for the Living Vehicle to provide energy to all LV systems when solar power may not be available.
With the Energy Integration package installed, all appliances that are connected to the inverter are able to run while towing, including the Air Conditioner and the Washer Dryer. Due to the extremely high-power output of this system, the tow vehicle has the capacity to not only power high demand systems but also charge depleted batteries at the same time.
With the LV running primarily off electric power, solar panels provide a clean and quiet energy source. When the sun is obscured from cloud cover, a redundant system of power supply is required.
A high voltage alternator between 6-8kW (depending on tow vehicle) is installed into the tow vehicle and is able to recharge the entire LV system while connected to the tow vehicle. This recharge time takes only a matter of hours and may be used while towing or parked and running the engine idle.
The Hi-Fi Audio package utilizes the most modern of audio technology for a supremely elevated audio experience through multiple zones of Living Vehicle. The living space, bathroom and bedroom are split into multiple zones with independent wall-mounted volume control.

The 4-Season Performance package extends the thermal capability of the Living Vehicle to allow travel to more extreme ranges in both hot and cold climates. The LV Core is rated down to 20˚F and up to 100˚F. The addition of the 4-Season Performance package lowers the minimum rating to 0˚F and increases the maximum rating to 110˚F. ¹These temperature ratings are for on-grid use. With the addition of the Backup Power Generation Package, these temperature ratings will extend to off-grid use.
1. Temperature ratings are for extended periods while connected to shore or generator power. When running off-grid the temperature ratings will still apply with the Backup Power Generation package installed. The length of off-grid trip time will be reduced as the maximum and minimum temperature ratings are approached.
2. This maximum temperature rating is purely a factor of available power supply and capacity during travel with adequate sun for solar recharging on an ongoing basis.
If you are like most of our customers, you may not have much RV related experience. And if you are like all our customers, you want an experience that is as hassle-free as possible.
Leave your manual jacks, chocks and wedges behind. Free up your storage space and get peace of mind. With the push of a button, our exclusive automatic leveling system levels and stabilizes your LV quickly and accurately. This saves you time by leveling and stabilizing your LV in a matter of minutes, whether you are on a paved campsite or enjoying off grid living.
Completely redesigned for 2021, Living Vehicle® releases a HD 4-point, factory installed auto-leveling system as optional equipment. With the added weights and capacity of the 2021 LV, the leveling system has undergone a transformation. Previously reserved for commercial style coaches and buses, this hydraulic leveling system will automatically level the Living Vehicle® in a varied degree of terrain environments.
The Auto-Leveling option is included as standard equipment on the PRO model.
The Living Vehicle 2020 is a vehicle designed and built for extended use. The Cargo Capacity package increases the total weight allowable for added gear or installed equipment. ¹
When traveling for extended periods, material things become necessary to take with us. Purpose built for carrying gear, the LV has a copious space and storage compartments. With storage for food, housewares, sporting equipment, and more, every added item increases the total amount of weight carried. When loaded to the max, it is common for those with significant cargo needs to push the limits of the CORE GVWR. The Cargo Capacity package increases the available weight load of how much you can take with you.
The axles are the foundation of the Living Vehicle that support the only connection with the ground during travel. Higher rated axles not only provide for a higher rated capacity but balances out the equation by matching the stiffness in the axles with the actual carrying weight. Appropriately sized axles will result in a smoother and safer ride. The available carrying capacity is increased by an additional 2,000 lbs.
Engineered as a vital addition to the axles are four independently controlled electric-hydraulic disc brakes. Put simply, disc brakes are a completely different and superior way to tow a trailer. Upon the first press of the brake in the tow vehicle, it becomes immediately clear the power and engineering behind the advanced braking system. The disc brakes provide a gradual and powerful stopping the Living Vehicle in unison with the truck. When coupled with today’s modern in-cab or high-end aftermarket brake controllers, the vehicle and trailer become unified as one.
1. This package may be required if the options included in the configuration increase the vehicle to set parameters.
For those who desire to access the most remote areas of our world, the Off-Road Capability package will provide the enhanced equipment to get you there – and take Living Vehicle® farther than ever before.
The foundation of the Off-Road Capability package is a 4” lift that allows LV® to enter and exit more spaces with significant changes in grade. A very common occurrence while traveling off-road, it is often not the barriers in the road itself, but the undulations and rapid grade changes that will limit a vehicle from continuing. The lift increases both the ground clearance and departure angle.
Designed explicitly for use both on and off-road expeditions, the LV wheel and tire package is designed to resist punctures when powering over rocks, mud, and sand, with the ideal design for the LV®. The tread and sidewall design of the tire also improves side-slip resistance on both off-road, wet and winter road conditions. The tires are a massive H load rating and are designed and rated for commercial-grade performance.
Included with the package is a full-size spare with matching matte-black aluminum mag wheel.
As part of the off-road package, a 2” rear hitch receiver with a capacity of up to 500 lbs is installed on the very back of the Living Vehicle®. This adds significant opportunity to carry all sorts of gear and equipment. Opportunities to integrate aftermarket racks and custom installations provide countless opportunities for carrying gear. From storing additional equipment for off-road fuel supplies, to custom bike racks or outdoor boondocking kitchens, the hitch encourages custom design creativity. The sky is the limit.
1. Rear Hitch Receiver is not designed for towing
Designed to move, the Living Vehicle® is built from the ground up for safe and stable towing.
Thoughtful engineering and material specification have resulted in a wide wheelbase and low center of gravity. To take full advantage of the towing performance of the LV®, the tow vehicle must be properly unified with the LV® as one. This is accomplished with connecting the LV® to both the tow vehicle and the driver for the best towing experience possible.
A camera system is installed with a rear camera and an in-vehicle monitoring screen for greatest visibility while traveling. Real time sight is possible with dedicated HD cameras on all sides of the LV®. A 7” LCD monitor is installed in the tow vehicle with a commercial quick-connect to provide features like reverse monitoring and lane change assist. This Performance Towing package is highly valuable for those who are new to towing, and like many of new LV® owners, little to no towing experience is the norm.
For late model tow vehicles, the Performance Towing package has the capability to integrated directly into the Tow-Vehicle in-dash monitor. Please check with LV for vehicle compatibility.
Travel to remote locations brings a reliance on the air and water of the local region traveled. It is inevitable that these resources are often from un-reliable or questionable sources. The Air and Water Quality package is designed to improve the air and water quality inside Living Vehicle and provide the real-time data to monitor the health of your LV from anywhere in the world.
The air monitor is a piece of pieces of technological art. This suite of electronics allows you to maintain the freshest air inside the Living Vehicle® and have the app-based real-time data to breathe easy.
Unlike traditional filters, the air purifier utilizes PECO technology eliminates pollutants like mold, dust or pet hair, and destroys them rather than masking them. This provides noticeably cleaner air in the entire LV® space with a quiet and compact design. PECO technology is capable to remove and destroy organic particulate matter as small as 0.1 nm. Beautifully modern design with app-controlled filter monitoring and auto-replacement scheduling.
A multi-step system first filters and then sterilizes water. Three on-board canisters and UV treatment work in tandem to protect from harmful contaminants entering the LV® water supply whether on or off the grid. An on-board water filter is installed to filter water from the fresh-water tank and from the city water intake. Three-stage filtration is designed to remove a wide range of pollutants. With the final stage at 0.2 micron (absolute rating) the filter provides protection against even smaller contaminants, including e. coli.
Water Sterilization
1. The water sterilization system is designed to treat potable water. It is not designed to treat rainwater, graywater, or other non-potable water source.
The Automatic EuroLoft™ package adds a conveniently hidden space for two guests to sleep, and increases the LV sleeping capacity from 4 adults to 6. ¹
One of the greatest benefits of the EuroLoft is always having a guest bed “at the ready". While the Living Vehicle has a built-in lounge that easily converts to a queen sleeping space, it will always be necessary to convert the lounge to a bed first in the transition from lounge to bed. In contrast, this adaptable bed system is stored up against the ceiling above the dining area and lounge.
The EuroLoft™ is designed to be always made, meaning the bedding, pillows and comforter may be stored with the platform in the raised position. By deploying the bed with a simple push of a button, a guest sleeping area is revealed and ready for slumber in a matter of seconds. The shelf above the television in the living area naturally transforms when the bed is lowered and becomes a nightstand at the head of the sleeping area.
A very comfortable 5-inch memory foam mattress is a true queen width and extra-long to accommodate tall adults. Rated for up to 600 lbs., safety features like a mountable access ladder is installed for easy access the bed and a safety railing provides protection while sleeping.

One of the greatest luxuries is the freedom to choose how one spends the most valuable resource, Time. The Good Housekeeping package is all about reducing those necessary tasks that occupy much of our daily routine to free up time to spend doing the things we love.
The entire cycle takes as low as 2 hours to both wash and dry a full load of laundry. The installation of the washer/dryer replaces one of the two three drawer dresser banks in the bedroom area. 15lbs wash and 11lbs dry capacityInstead of having separate machines that each perform a single use, this washer and dryer combo is a single unit with one compartment, saving significant space. Simply put clothes in the machine and the wash cycle will commence. Once clean, the washer automatically switches over to the dry cycle and dries clothes in the same machine.
One of the tasks that must occur up to three times daily. Not only does hand washing dishes take a lot of time, it’s a drain on precious water resources. The programmable, under-counter dishwasher cleans your dishes while you relax and has a very low water usage per cycle. With a full load on the economy cycle, it actually takes proportionally less water to complete a full dishwasher cycle than washing by hand. Designed to be used both on and off grid. The installation of the dishwasher replaces the pull-out drawer directly under the kitchen sink.
The cleanliness of a small space can make a huge difference and. It’s not just the act of cleaning that makes the change, but the tools and techniques used that save time and improve health. Traditional upright vacuums must use restrictive advanced filtration, and they carry around the dirt in complex containers or bags, ultimately blowing fine particulate matter back into the room from the limitation by design.The Living Vehicle Central Vac System fundamentally draws the dirt, dander, and pet hair away from the interior and into an exterior compartment. This simple design keeps the interior air cleaner and free of particulate matter. Those who suffer from seasonal or pet related allergies will find this single feature one of the most important aspects of the Living Vehicle to improve one’s daily well-being.
The Central Vac System is connected to inverter power and may be used off-grid as part of the CORE configuration.
1. The washer/dryer is designed to be used both on and off grid when property configured. When off-grid, the dishwasher and dryer consume a large amount of energy. To utilize the washer/dryer or dishwasher while off-grid, select the Backup Power Generation package.
2. The central vac system is connected to the inverter and may be used off-grid with the CORE configuration.
The Living Vehicle lifestyle is purpose built for travel, freedom and adaptability. With the advent of digital nomads and telecommuting, the need for blending together live and work into one space becomes vital to the way we interact with our modern world. The highly valuable Mobile Office option package replaces the standard queen bed configuration in the bedroom with a convertible desk to bed system.
Purpose designed for work, the dedicated desk component is the cornerstone of the Mobile Office package and is a functional work of art. The work environment consists of a large working desk, suitable for two side-by-side workstations. Without moving anything from desk, with one easy movement, the bed is lowered by one hand in less than a few seconds. The desk surface remains horizontal when converted so all work items may stay put. The quality and engineering behind this system is phenomenal.
Tucked neatly and discreetly away, the bed component of the system is completely hidden when not deployed. The desk converts to a bed in seconds and accomplished with minimal effort. The mattress and bedding are always at the ready, making a late night of work extremely quick to transition to a queen-bed sleeping space.
The Spa Bathroom package elevates the comfort, luxury and convenience in the Living Vehicle® bathroom.
The shower is transformed to include a hardwood back-wall panel made up of horizontal slats, adding more natural depth and functionality.

The Luxury Finishes package upgrades the finish quality and luxury appearance of the major design elements in the Living Vehicle. Behind the scenes, aircraft technology is applied to this package to significantly reduce weight of one of the heaviest items in the Living Vehicle, the countertops.
The countertops are elevated to a true-stone solid surface material with real Calacatta Quartz. Designed to have the beauty of real Italian marble, Quartz is arguably the most durable countertop material available today.
Amongst the features that make the countertops highly desirable in high-use areas are that Quartz is extremely durable over and above even the most robust materials like granite or natural stone. Due to the high density and durability, Quartz is also very heavy and requires careful engineering to overcome this.
With technology borrowed from the aerospace industry, a substrate of ultra-lightweight expanded aluminum honeycomb sheet creates an extremely rigid and strong foundation that all countertops are first laminated against. The countertop surface itself is very thin, about ¼”. This construction method presents a significant weight savings from the standard countertops offered in the Living Vehicle CORE configuration.
Ultraleather® 1 truly defines performance fabrics. Ultraleather® 1 was created to redefine the experience of leather: classic aesthetics, authentic softness, and always, naturally, animal-cruelty free. The result is a polyurethane portfolio that combines future-forward thinking with premium quality and timeless color palette.
The demure and warm contemporary design of Living Vehicle is founded on the unification of light bright spaces with natural and warm materials. The Luxury Finishes package includes a hardwood accent wall in the living area behind the HDTV. This draws the eye to an expanse of warm and inviting materials, perfectly balancing out the white interior.
As a backdrop for the lounge 4K television, the wall becomes a display area and center piece for the entire living space. The TV may act as a digital art wall, displaying your favorite photos, videos and memories inside the dynamic and stunning media area.
