eVTOL aircrafts may be the future of personal aviation but the future of adventures on the road would be an all-encompassing recreational vehicle that transforms from its minimal structure on demand. We have seen a few iterations of travel trailers – such as the Rockwood Roo – that fit the notion, but the smart expanding ability with sustainable features is yet to reach recreational vehicles.

That’s what we thought until going up and personal with the eTH, an Electric Transformer House, doing rounds at CES in its rendered glory. A sublime blend of comfort, smart tech, and sustainability; it is by far the most futuristic mobile living space present in Vegas, at the time of writing. Visioned with the future in mind, eTH is the brainchild of Italian design house Pininfarina and AC Future, a leading inventor of living solutions for the future.

This mobile living space is a green van that features an all-glass upper body. The developers have a proof of concept at CES, and from how we learn, the prototype could be on the way. The mass production for this ultra-capable, highly functional, and amazingly luxurious mobile home is aligned for the fourth quarter of 2025, that’s if all were to go as planned.

This out-of-the-ordinary electric recreational vehicle is different from the usual market-ready options in two departments: first, its expansion ability and second, the vivid sustainable functions on board. The eTH aligns in the former segment with movable walls, which allows the structure of the modular living space to expand from 20-foot-long, 11-foot-high to a good 400 square feet abode on the push of a button.

While the expanding form factor of the eTH would allow the RV to redefine the concept of living on wheels, it will be the inherent off-grid features that would make it a haven for adventurers. To that end, the modular RV features retractable 25kWh solar panels on the roof and onboard batteries to power it for a week of off-the-grid living. Details on the sleeping facility, washroom, and kitchen are scanty at the moment, but the Electric Transformer House has an Atmospheric Water Generator that produces fresh drinking water from the air every day.

The fascination extends further into the inside of the eTH where folding furniture enthralls with the convenience it renders while driving or when halted for the night. The lux interior allows this RV to be used as a full-time residence or mobile home by nomadic workaholics. For the latter, the inventive cockpit with driver assist technology and entertainment hub has a dashboard that doubles as an office desk. The steering wheel retracts under and the space above becomes a functional workspace while Starlink and Co-Pilot take care of the connectivity requirements.

When it comes to venturing into the great outdoors, having the right vehicle support can make all the difference. That’s where the Yoka Go drives in, offering not just ample space but also the freedom to adapt to your individual needs.

Dethleffs, a name synonymous with recreational vehicles, has brought us the Yoka Go, a true game-changing leisure vehicle. But what exactly is the Yoka? A motorhome? A camper van? Well, it’s more than that; it’s a tailor-made leisure vehicle designed to elevate your adventures to unstoppable heights.

Whether you’re an avid travel or someone who simply craves the freedom to explore the world, the Yoka Go is here to cater to your every need, especially with its incredible storage capacity. So whether you’re carrying sports gear, camping equipment, or just the essentials for a weekend getaway, the Yoka Go’s flexible interior ensures that you have everything you need for both comfortable storage and seamless travel.

The Yoka Go boasts an extra-large wardrobe complete with shelves and a clothes rail, ensuring that you can keep your attire organized and ready for any occasion. Speaking of occasions, the large tailgate with a window adds an elegant touch to your outdoor gatherings. Sleeping arrangements in the Yoka Go are taken care of by the seating lounge which can quickly transform into a cozy bed for two, measuring 1.35m by 2.00m, providing ample space for a good night’s rest.

Flexibility is key in the Yoka Go. It extends to the seating lounge equipped with a variable table for up to four people. Need more seating? No problem. Thanks to the floor rail with airline rails, you can opt for a third and fourth seat to accommodate additional passengers.  Storage space isn’t just limited to the bedroom; the Yoka Go has compartments tucked away inside the bench seats, making it a breeze to access your essentials even from the outside of the vehicle. No more rummaging through your entire inventory just to grab your favorite hiking boots!

Drawing power from a 129-hp 2.0-liter EcoBlue diesel engine with a six-speed manual transmission, the Yoka Go is a lifestyle enhancer. With its adaptability, spaciousness, and clever storage solutions, it’s the perfect companion for those who want to make the most of their leisure time in the outdoors.
