What is the eTH RV?
eTH stands for “electric transformer house.” It is the result of a collaboration between AC Future and the legendary Italian design house Pininfarina, known for creating some of the most iconic cars in history.

The eTH is not your typical RV. It is designed to function like an expandable luxury mini-home, offering a lot of interior space and many futuristic features and amenities. The eTH is described as a mobile living solution that will make you truly feel at home wherever you go. It offers a perfect combination of luxurious amenities, smart technology and eco-friendly features.

How does the RV transform?
The electric RV measures 20 feet long and 11 feet high, but it has a neat little trick up its sleeve. The highlight of the eTH is its transformable design with expandable walls that unlock up to 400 square feet of living space inside the cabin.
Side-outs are very common with large-size RVs, and the expandable walls share the same concept. But these extend way further than traditional slide-outs, opening up a lot more interior space. At the press of a button, the RV goes into House Mode, in which the length increases to 29 feet, and the total width goes up by 8 feet. As a result, the RV turns into a well-appointed 400-square-foot house with all the necessary amenities and features.

What are the features and amenities of the RV?
Another interesting feature of the eTH is its cockpit, which can transform into a work desk thanks to a retractable steering wheel that lowers away. This allows you to work comfortably and productively while on the road, or enjoy some entertainment and relaxation. The cockpit also features a touchscreen display that can control various functions of the RV, such as lighting, temperature, security and entertainment.

How does the RV run?
AC Future has hinted that there will be an electric and a gasoline-powered version or a combination of both. They also claim that the RV will have a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,000 pounds, which is quite impressive for an electric vehicle.
The eTH also focuses on sustainability and off-the-grid operability. It features a retractable solar panel roof that can generate about 25kWh of power, enough to run the RV for a day.
