RV enthusiasts, get ready to welcome a new member of the RV family. The recreational vehicle manufacturer Winnebago recently unveiled its first fully operational all-electric RV, eRV2, at the Florida RV SuperShow. I wrote about its first iteration last year, and there have been improvements.



This zero-emission vehicle runs the powertrain and house systems on electricity, provides up to seven days of "boondocking" while living off the batteries, and features accouterments made of recyclable and biodegradable materials. It's a game-changer in the RV industry, and here's why.


The eRV2's all-electric capabilities make it the perfect vehicle for eco-conscious RV enthusiasts. The eRV2 can stay off-grid by utilizing solar power for up to 7 days. Up to 500 watts of power come from fixed solar roof panels and 400 from portable panels. They will then feed into the 900-watt energy system.

The eRV2 accommodates the needs of boondockers. Equipped with a robust battery storage system and solar panels, the eRV2 provides up to seven days of "boondocking" or off-grid camping, depending on energy consumption. Boondockers can enjoy extended stays in their RV without worrying about running out of power or carrying a generator. The eRV2 also utilizes an app and centralized monitoring system that allows drivers to monitor power consumption, battery levels, and charging options in real-time, making setup and operation convenient for campers.

Given the entire vehicle is electric, it produces zero emissions and leaves a minimal carbon footprint. The eRV2 has a flexible 3-in-1 charging plug-in at home, campgrounds, and dedicated charging stations. Couple this with a reduction in noise and vibration levels, and you have one impressive package. Moreover, electric RVs are easier to maintain and can last longer than their gasoline counterparts. You can use a DC fast charger for 45 minutes to get to 80% charge. When charging at home, it will require two hours using a 240V/50A charger or five hours using a 120V/30A.

Winnebago incorporated sustainable materials into the eRV2's design, making it a greener option. The eRV2's interior boasts makeup from recycled materials (plastic) and recycled flooring.

They have even incorporated broad-spectrum lighting to have less impact on flora and fauna in the surrounding environment.

The eRV2's design facilitates convenience and comfort. The eRV2 features what Winnebago calls a Japanese/Scandinavian design fusion for a modern interior with an open floor concept, plenty of storage options, and a spacious bathroom. The eRV2's design also includes climate-controlled living and sleeping areas and air filtration, providing maximum comfort in all weather conditions.

Conclusion: The Winnebago eRV2 has entered the final stages of its testing and is ready to enter the electric RV industry with its innovative design and eco-friendly features. With the increased popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles, electric-powered RVs are a logical step in the right direction. The eRV2 is an exciting addition that caters to boondockers, eco-conscious RVers, and early adopters. Furthermore, incorporating sustainable materials and using an app for real-time monitoring demonstrates Winnebago's technological progress. The eRV2 is an inspiring reminder of the potential for the intersection of eco-consciousness and innovation.
