As luxury RV pricing creeps ever closer to real-estate territory, new models increasingly feel pressured to justify their cost with ideas that go beyond bigger TVs or nicer countertops. That context makes the latest project from AC Future stand out. Rather than refining the traditional RV formula, the company continues to blur the line between mobile living and compact architecture.
Founded in California and launching its first concepts in 2021, AC Future has built its reputation around AI-managed living systems and transformable spaces. Working alongside Pininfarina , the brand has already introduced stationary and drivable versions of its AI Transformer Home. The AI-THt marks a new chapter as the company’s first fully towable trailer, designed to function less like a camper and more like a deployable apartment.
In transit, the AI-THt looks almost restrained by comparison to what it becomes once parked. It travels as a 24-foot trailer, compact enough to resemble a premium conventional towable. Once deployed, the structure expands outward on all sides, growing into a 38-foot-long living space that more than doubles its interior footprint. The front section slides forward over the tongue, the side walls extend outward, and within minutes the interior transforms from a modest 150 square feet into a livable space exceeding 360 square feet. A suspended front terrace adds an unexpected outdoor element, reinforcing the sense that this is a small home rather than a recreational vehicle.
This multi-directional expansion is what truly separates the AI-THt from typical slide-out designs. Most towable RVs rely on one or two extensions to add floor space. Here, the entire structure reconfigures itself, using a patented deployment system that emphasizes speed and automation. The result feels architectural rather than mechanical, closer to unfolding a building than expanding a trailer.
Design plays a major role in selling that illusion. Pininfarina’s influence is visible in the aerodynamic exterior surfaces and architectural proportions, which stand apart from the boxy silhouettes that dominate the towable market. Inside, the concept visuals suggest a residential-grade environment with a proper kitchen, a dedicated bedroom, a workspace, and a full bathroom. Italian-inspired finishes and a modular furniture system allow elements to fold and stow neatly when the trailer contracts for travel, preserving both function and aesthetics.
Underneath the sleek surfaces, the AI-THt leans heavily into self-sufficiency. A high-capacity battery system paired with a large solar array forms the backbone of its off-grid ambitions. Water recovery systems and atmospheric water generation aim to reduce reliance on hookups, while intelligent resource management promises to optimize energy and water usage automatically. The trailer can also charge an electric vehicle or act as a backup power source for a home, reinforcing its role as a mobile infrastructure unit rather than a simple shelter.
Towing technology receives similar attention. Tow-assist features and an auto-hitch system are designed to reduce friction for owners, making setup less intimidating despite the trailer’s advanced nature. Inside, multi-zone climate control, residential appliances, and built-in Starlink connectivity push the AI-THt firmly into the luxury category, targeting buyers who want remote freedom without sacrificing comfort or connectivity.
Pricing reflects that ambition. With a starting price of $158,000, the AI-THt sits well above traditional towables but undercuts many high-end motorhomes while offering a radically different value proposition. Reservations are now open through AC Future, with first deliveries planned for the second half of 2026. For those looking to escape the grid without giving up the feel of a modern apartment, this trailer may represent one of the most unconventional answers yet.
