Behind the Build—What the CyberTrailer Is Really About
By Matthew Hofmann, Founder & Architect, Living Vehicle
There’s a photo I keep close. It’s of me and my dad, Walter, standing in front of the very first Living Vehicle we ever built. That was nearly eight years ago. Just two of us, a raw aluminum shell, and an idea that freedom shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort—or compromise.
This photo was taken using an old-world tintype camera—an image printed directly onto aluminum, just like the skin of the very first Living Vehicle in the background. The image is reversed, a detail that keen eyes will notice in the flipped logo. A fitting medium to mark the origin of something built to last.
That photo marks the beginning of something much bigger than a vehicle. It was the start of a journey to reimagine what mobile living could be. And today, we’re sharing the most ambitious chapter of that journey yet: the CyberTrailer PRO.
If you’ve been following Living Vehicle for a while, you know we don’t settle. Not when it comes to sustainability, not when it comes to design, and especially not when it comes to off-grid capability.
The CyberTrailer isn’t just a home on wheels—it’s a mobile infrastructure system. A power plant. A water plant. A smart, self-sufficient habitat designed to make modern, connected living possible—anywhere on Earth.
This 20-day feature series is your invitation inside the world of the CyberTrailer PRO.
Not just to see what we’ve built—but to understand why we built it.
Why Now?
We’re living through a moment when people are craving more autonomy—more connection to nature, more control over how they live and work. But true freedom doesn’t come from wheels alone. It comes from engineering.
That’s why we started from scratch, asking some bold questions:
• Can you create endless water, even in the desert?
• Can solar power run a full-size kitchen—without a generator?
• Can you live off-grid and still enjoy daily hot showers, clean air, safe water, and full connectivity?
• Can you work remotely, comfortably, and securely—miles from the nearest cell tower?
The CyberTrailer answers all of these with a resounding yes.
And this series is our way of showing you how.
What to Expect
Every day for the next 20 days, we’ll share one short feature—focused on a single innovation that makes the CyberTrailer unlike anything else on the market. These won’t be spec sheets. They’ll be stories.
From our closed-loop water recycling system to our ducted climate control, deployable solar arrays, high-efficiency appliances, and reconfigurable living spaces—we’re revealing the full picture.
Because this isn’t just about technology.
It’s about what that technology makes possible.
A Technical Masterpiece with a Soul
Every system in the CyberTrailer has been engineered to support one idea: that you shouldn’t have to choose between living well and living off-grid.
We’ve spent years building toward this.
And over the next 20 days, I’ll walk you through it—piece by piece.
Tomorrow, we begin with the most essential resource of all: water.
And the breakthrough system we’ve created to conserve it, recycle it, and even generate it—from thin air.
