Lightship RV is focused on creating all-electric recreational vehicles, specifically electric travel trailers, with their main product being the Aero Electric L1 travel trailer. This trailer is designed to offer a sustainable travel experience, featuring integrated solar panels and an all-electric system.

Unlike traditional RV manufacturers, Lightship RV emphasizes eco-friendliness and sustainability in its products. The goal is to provide a unique travel experience that minimizes carbon footprints while enjoying outdoor adventures. Lightship RV sells its trailers directly through its website and may also offer accessories and maintenance services in the future.
