Pebble Mobility's 'Pebble Flow' RV trailer

Here's another startup entry into the recreational vehicle market which will allow ( like AirShip 1 ) potential trailer customers more information to inform their decision making.

It's for people that can't back a trailer up.

You can delete everything after the ? and the link would still work. ('utm_source=g...SAAEgIEW_D_BwE')
That just tells how you got there.

Trailer backng can be altered by two words: front hitch.

Youre looking directly at what the trailer is doing and turning does not include advanced math

Not everyone had the opportunity to learn backing up a trailer in their childhood by backing up a lawnmower with a trailer. Women find the skill attractive, especially when threading a needle on a boat ramp where someone unskilled has parked awkwardly.

Funny thing is, I have to look over my shoulder. If the trailer dips down below where I can see, I'm completely useless with a backup camera.

Anyhow, that trailer could probably cost thousands less if it had a $200 genset instead of a battery. It's also built backwards, as every trailer is.

I was under the impression, possibly erroneous, that the trailer battery was a range extender/power boost

From what I can gather, the 'Flow' operates just like the 'LightShip 1'; it has it's own propulsion system and regen, and completely cancels out all of it's aero and rolling-resistance load behind the TV during transit, then, once at the campsite, provides up a week's worth of stand-alone electric power, without noise or air pollution.
There isn't enough information provided, from which to reverse-engineer anything meaningful about it so far.
