Ever since a wheel was invented and people came up with the idea to tow extra weight behind them, it all depended on the power of a person, then a horse and in the 20th century a car that pulls. But what if the trailer could move itself? Today, this idea is being widely explored by the RV industry, which is trying to ease the burden on the emerging electric vehicles and wants to prove that a traveler does not need to own a gas-guzzling pickup truck to tow a caravan. In this episode we will show you the newly developed models of travel trailers with their own drive systems that can be classified as self-propelled.
