With more solar power than any EV out there, and the technology to create water from air, the 2023 Living Vehicle RVs are ready for off-the-grid life.
The pandemic has given us a different perspective of life. And one of those involves the increasing love for remote work. More and more people are going off the grid to explore the world without compromising their professional life. And RVs seem to be the perfect companion for this lifestyle. These mobile homes are quite the rage among celebrities too.
Living Vehicle is a luxury RV maker and its 2023 line-up of RVs has been upgraded with a slew of new features that will give you the power to live off the grid, without compromising on your quality of life.
The 2023 Living Vehicle RVs packs available water generating systems and a fully-stacked mobile workstation. The guys at Watergen are behind the water generating equipment used in these RVs, that can create water from moisture in the air.
This allows you to be completely independent for clean drinking water, and powering this tech is pure solar energy. Apart from the cool technology bits, these RVs are high on luxury, comfort, and space too. The 2023 Living Vehicle RVs start with an MSRP of $$339,995. Each of these RVs is built-to-order and highly customizable. The current waiting period is 10 to 12 months.
With more solar power than any EV out there and the technology to create water from air, the 2023 Living Vehicle RVs are ready to leave civilization behind.
The highlight feature of this luxury RV is its capability to create water from the air. The Watergen atmospheric water generator (AWG) is an evolved version of the military-spec machine that was developed by the Israeli company back in 2014.
Over the years, this technology has gone through various changes and has become a lot more efficient. There have been instances of Watergen using a prototype water generator on concept vehicles before, but the 2023 Living Vehicle RV, is the first-ever usage of the Watergen system in a production vehicle.
This system sucks in atmospheric air through a vent on the side of the RV. Condensation is then used to extract moisture from the air along with the removal of dust and debris. The water is then passed through a multi-stage filtration and mineralization process.
Then the water is sterilized using UV rays to irradicate any harmful bacteria and viruses. The created water is then stored in a tank which is then used for various purposes, including drinking. The Watergen system is fused into the RV's power grid and works completely off solar energy, amassed from the rooftop.
In its most efficient cycle, the water generator can churn out 19 liters of drinking water per day. This is ample for a family of four to survive in the most remote areas with ease. And if this system manages to create excess water from the air (courtesy of extremely humid areas), then the surplus is fed to the 379-liter onboard fresh water tank.
The minimum level of humidity required by the Watergen system to do its magic is 20 percent. As almost all of America has an average humidity of 30 percent and above, you can be anywhere and still get clean drinking water.

Living Vehicle knows very well that the people who plan on getting their Watergen-equipped RVs to want to stay away from civilization, in peace and tranquility. In short, they knew that digital nomads would love this RV package.
And so to make this sweeter for them, their RVs apart from making water from thin air also hide a stacked digital area courtesy of the newly introduced Apple-backed Creative Studio remote office package.
This workstation setup is neatly integrated into the underside of a foldable bed on the far end of the RV. This digital space includes either a 27- or 32-inch display from Apple which is connected to a 16-inch MacBook Pro. And all of this sits on a beautiful 80-inch one or two-person desk, that neatly folds under the queen-sized bed.

Living Vehicle has gone for an all-aluminum build to create a spacious and beautiful interior layout. It also gets a fold-out front porch which further elevates its spacious character. The further end of the RV houses the hybrid space that packs a fully-stocked kitchen with a removable island, a 368-liter refrigerator, a microwave, and an optional dishwasher and oven.
The section closer to the tow-hook is a dedicated queen-bed-equipped master suite that can also double up as the creative studio. This area also houses a washing machine, a closet, and a three-drawer dresser. But all these bits are not fixed, as Living Vehicle offers various customization options.
This RV also comes with one of the largest bathing areas we have come across. It is a 32X36-inch area that can also be stacked further with luxury fitments along with an outdoor shower provision.
