Full HVAC, no propane
17,000 BTU electric heating and below-deck AC. No propane furnace, no regulator issues, no carbon monoxide risk. Set the temperature and forget it. The battery handles the rest.
Most RVs are a single-purpose purchase that sits in a driveway or RV storage 48 weeks a year. The Evotrex-PG5 is different. It's a 270 kWh power plant that happens to be an exceptional off-grid trailer. Here's what that means.
270+kWh
Usable Energy
43 kWh LFP battery + 75 kW generator (20 gal tank, 225 kWh) + rooftop solar
12kW
Power Output
Enough to run most home appliances simultaneously, including AC units.
1.5kW
Rooftop Solar
Rooftop solar that keeps charging whether you're camping or parked at home.
Use Case 01
True off-grid camping, for days, not hours.
Most "off-grid capable" trailers mean a 200W solar panel and a 1.2 kWh lithium battery. That's enough to run your lights and charge your phone for a night or two before you're hunting for a hookup.
The Evotrex-PG5 is in a different category. A 43 kWh LFP battery paired with a 75 kW gasoline generator means you can run full HVAC, a two-burner induction cooktop, convection microwave, espresso machine, a 10 cu. ft. refrigerator, and all your lighting and devices. Indefinitely. Evotrex confirms users stay unplugged for a week or more with daily HVAC and appliance use.
Park on BLM land. A private ranch. A forest road. Anywhere a truck can take you. The Evotrex-PG5 doesn't care whether there's a hookup nearby.
Battery

Powered by gasoline — widely available anywhere
Off-grid duration

11.25 kWh per gallon of gasoline
Induction cooktop + convection oven
A two-burner induction cooktop, convection air fryer/microwave, and 12V refrigerator. All electric. Cook a real meal without a propane flame, even far from any infrastructure.
Electric on-demand hot water
No propane water heater. An on-demand electric system heats water instantly, only when you need it. More efficient and one less tank to manage.
Self-propelled. Park anywhere.
The electric drive motor lets you reposition via tablet, with a real-time bird's-eye camera view to guide you in. Tight campsites, uneven terrain, soft surfaces — no rehitching required.

Use Case 02
A home backup power source parked in your driveway.
When you're not camping, the Evotrex-PG5 doesn't just sit there. Plug it in as a backup power source and it becomes a 43 kWh energy reserve, larger than three Tesla Powerwalls, with up to 12 kW of continuous output.
The average American household uses roughly 30 kWh per day. The Evotrex-PG5's 43 kWh battery alone covers more than a full day of typical home use. Add a full 20-gallon gas tank and you have 270+ kWh of total on-demand energy, enough for nearly nine days of average home consumption.
During an outage, the generator recharges the battery continuously for as long as you have fuel. The 1.5 kW rooftop solar keeps topping it off in the meantime.
Think of it as a Tesla Powerwall that you can also take camping.
— Evotrex-PG5 Overview"The Evotrex-PG5 can output up to 12 kW, which is sufficient for most home appliances, including fridges, TVs, espresso machines, and smaller AC units. And because it's got 1.5 kW of solar over the rooftop, it's constantly generating free energy — the trailer is no longer just a depreciating asset when you're not out camping. It is never idle."
Continuous output
12 kW
Sufficient for most home loads
Battery reserve
43 kWh
LFP chemistry. Up to 20× more usable storage than a typical trailer.
Recharge source
3 ways
Generator + solar + shore power
Power outages — handled
43 kWh of storage plus a generator running on a 20-gallon gas tank. The Evotrex-PG5 handles essential home loads through multi-day outages. The battery alone buys several hours without the generator running at all.
Passive solar charging while parked
The 1.5 kW rooftop solar array charges the battery any time the trailer is parked. On a clear day that's roughly 6–9 kWh of free energy, enough to offset your overnight home draw before grid power comes back.
No permanent installation required
Unlike a Tesla Powerwall or Enphase system, the Evotrex-PG5 requires no permanent electrical installation to serve as a backup source. Drive it home, park it, and connect. When you want to go camping, take it with you.
Gasoline extends runtime indefinitely
A fixed home battery has a hard ceiling. When it's empty, you wait for the sun. The Evotrex-PG5's generator runs on standard gasoline and recharges the battery continuously, so your runtime is only limited by how much fuel you can source.

Use Case 02 — Detail
What 12 kW actually powers.
To put 12,000 watts in context: the average US home draws 1,200–2,000W continuously for essentials (refrigerator, lighting, phone charging, TV). The Evotrex-PG5's 12 kW output is 6–10× that — more than enough to run your entire home's non-HVAC load, with headroom to spare.

Use Case 03
The RV that's never idle.
The average RV is used 3–4 weeks per year. For the other 48 weeks, it sits, depreciating, aging, and running up storage fees, insurance, and maintenance costs. A liability the moment it stops moving.
The Evotrex-PG5 works differently. Its 1.5 kW rooftop solar array generates energy whether you're camping or parked at home. That free energy can offset your electricity bill, top up an EV, or keep the 43 kWh battery ready for the next outage or trip.
It isn't just a trailer. It's infrastructure.
