Whether or not it truly is the world’s first power-generating RV, the Evotrex-PG5 is making a strong case for the future of off-grid travel.

Unveiled to much fanfare, the tech-heavy trailer promises energy independence without the usual tangle of extension cords or campground hookups.

It’s a bold claim, and one that invites a little skepticism.

Still, even with some marketing exaggeration baked in, the P5 is still one of the most advanced RVs ever made.

The world’s first power-generating RV has both a generator and solar panels

At the heart of the Evotrex-PG5 is an integrated energy system designed to keep the trailer running indefinitely under the right conditions.

It combines a large lithium iron phosphate battery pack, roof-mounted solar panels, and a compact gas-powered onboard generator that automatically kicks in when battery levels drop.

Solar-powered RVs and generator-equipped rigs are nothing new, of course, which is why the ‘world’s first power-generating RV’ label feels a bit generous.

What sets the PG5 apart is how seamlessly these systems work together, intelligently managing power without much input from the user.

Evotrex has leaned heavily into modern tech to sell the experience.

The PG5 can generate, store, and distribute power not just for its own appliances but also for external devices, tools, and even a tow vehicle in some situations.

It’s designed to function as a mobile energy hub, capable of powering air conditioning, cooking equipment, entertainment systems, and high-draw electronics while parked miles from the nearest outlet.

For campers who like to disappear into the wilderness without sacrificing comfort, that’s a compelling pitch.

Less camping, more glamping

Inside, the PG5 looks every bit like a premium, next-generation RV.

Expect a sleek, contemporary interior filled with digital controls, smart displays, and app-based system monitoring.

Climate control, lighting, and energy usage can all be managed from a central interface, giving the camper a distinctly high-tech feel.

It’s less of a rustic campsite and more of a rolling smart home, which may appeal to a new generation of tech-savvy travelers.

Pricing reflects that ambition.

The Evotrex-PG5 sits firmly in the high-end trailer segment, with costs climbing quickly depending on configuration and options.

It’s not aimed at casual weekend campers, but rather buyers who want serious off-grid capability wrapped in a polished, modern package.

So no, the Evotrex-PG5 may not actually be the world’s first power-generating RV.

But by blending solar, battery storage, automated generation, and smart energy management into one cohesive system, it pushes the idea further than most.

Marketing spin aside, it’s a glimpse at where the RV world is clearly headed.
