The EvoTrex PG-5 Trailer Is The Self-Sustaining Boondocking Beast We’ve Been Waiting For

If you have ever spent a sleepless night in the wilderness worrying about your battery levels or regretting the fact that your EV’s range just dropped by half because you decided to tow a trailer, the future has finally arrived to soothe your anxieties. Fresh from the gleaming floor of CES 2026 in Las Vegas, California-based innovator EvoTrex has just pulled the covers off a machine that promises to change the architecture of adventure travel forever.

It is called the EvoTrex-PG-5, and it isn’t just a camper; it is the world’s first fully integrated, power-generating RV trailer designed to let you roam farther, stay longer, and live in uncompromised luxury while you do it.

The headline feature here is undoubtedly the “Fully Integrated Power Ecosystem.” In a world where “off-grid” often means rationing electricity like water in a desert, the PG-5 offers a deluge of power.

It combines a massive 43 kWh LFP battery, 1.5 kW of roof-mounted solar, and a proprietary ultra-efficient gas-powered onboard generator called “Horizon.” When working in concert, this trinity generates over 270 kWh of total usable power on a single cycle.

To put that in perspective, you aren’t just charging phones and running LED lights; you are powering a full HVAC system, heavy-duty appliances, and all your tech without the generator constantly droning in the background. For the modern digital nomad or the serious boondocker, this is absolute freedom.

But where the PG-5 truly earns its “Coolector-approved” status is in how it interacts with your tow vehicle. We have long lamented the range penalties associated with towing, especially for electric vehicles. EvoTrex addresses this with “Active Power Assist,” a propulsion system featuring a powerful electric motor and a high-precision force sensor at the hitch. It essentially helps push the trailer, reducing drag and stabilizing the ride in real-time.

Even better, if you are towing with an EV, the industry-first “RangeBoost” technology allows for bidirectional energy transfer, meaning the trailer can actually charge your car while you drive, opening up routes that were previously impossible. Once you unhitch, that same motor system allows for remote-controlled maneuvering, letting you park the trailer in the tightest of spots with the precision of a drone pilot.

The innovation continues when you step outside—or rather, when you open up the back. With a single button press, the rear panel lowers to reveal the “Terrece,” a motorized 43-square-foot patio deck. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails, complete with an extending hatch for shade. If you are hauling toys, the deck lowers further into a ramp configuration, making loading e-bikes or surfboards a breeze.

Inside, the rugged exterior gives way to a “Premium Residential Interior” that feels more like a high-end studio apartment than a camper. We are talking a residential queen bed, a convertible dinette, and a chef-ready kitchen with a double-burner induction cooktop and convection microwave.

The “Off-Grid Calculator” is another brilliant touch, offering realistic estimates of your power and water limits based on your specific lifestyle, ensuring you are never caught short.

Priced starting at $119,990 for the Pioneer model and ranging up to $159,990 for the fully loaded Atlas edition, the PG-5 is a significant investment, but one that doubles as a home backup battery during power outages thanks to its V2H capabilities.

With production set for late 2026, EvoTrex has effectively thrown down the gauntlet, proving that the future of camping isn’t about roughing it; it’s about smart, sustainable, and limitless exploration.
