Living Vehicle leads the industry in off-grid self-sufficiency and independent living with its latest model, the 2024 HD.  With unmatched off-grid capabilities and more solar power than most residential homes, Living Vehicle debuts its most capable and powerful model yet.

What sets Living Vehicle apart is the absence of limitations in an all-electric, off-grid environment.  The company has created an autonomous, electric-powered living solution, starting with a foundation of renewable solar energy.  This level of energy storage allows for full-time living in comfort, with multiple redundant backup fuel options available should environmental conditions change.

As the world becomes increasingly uncertain and unpredictable, it's essential to have lifestyle alternatives that meet your basic needs, including shelter, water, and comfort.  Amid rolling blackouts and extreme weather events, Living Vehicle has designed its products to provide independence from an unreliable electrical grid and increasingly scarce water resources.

Private land is the preferred option for locating a Living Vehicle and enjoying freedom from the grid.  For those times when our owners explore the great outdoors, LV offers maximum freedom and versatility for traveling. As an RVIA certified trailer, LV may travel to any campground, state, or national park.  Public lands are some of our favorite spots to travel. Check out National Forests, public deserts, or the over 15% of America’s land designated as BLM (Bureau of Land Management), and is entirely free and open to the public for extended stays.  Many municipalities allow Living Vehicle to be used as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).

Modern-day trucks are more capable and nimbler than ever before.  With diesel engines quieter and more efficient than gas, there are a number of great brands to choose from.
‍
We recommend a full-size truck that has a towing capacity of at least 16,000 lbs. for a CORE configuration and 18,000 lbs. for a PRO.  Equally important is the truck has a payload rating of at least 3,000 lbs. to ensure you have enough power to carry all your passengers and gear while carrying a trailer on the hitch.    
‍
These requirements typically result in a truck that’s either a ¾ or 1-ton configuration (250/2500 or 350/3500, respectively). We highly recommend diesel for the increased capacity and numerous towing features that come standard with a diesel engine.  We also recommend a 4x4 setup for off-road and 4-season travel.  The major brand truck sites offer simple configurators to determine the make, model, and configuration information with respect to towing capability.  
‍
The 2023 Core Living Vehicle has a base weight of 12,000 lbs. with a GVWR of 16,000 lbs. Depending on what model or configuration you choose, weights will increase from there. Prior to purchasing a truck, please contact Living Vehicle Sales to confirm the truck will be a good fit for your planned configuration.
