• Whether you're heading out with a Tesla Model 3 or a heavy-duty pickup, the Poly drops P17A is a lightweight camper claimed to help you stay cozily off the grid for up to six days.

 

• Well, six days under certain circumstances, anyway. It all depends on the battery and solar configurations, as well as how long you run the all-electric HVAC system or the optional kitchenette appliances.

 

1. The P17A starts at $24,990 but can get over $36,000 with the largest battery pack and other options.

The Poly drops company's story starts in 2017 when married couple Kyunghyun Lew and "J" Cha shifted away from architectural design and started working on a compact trailer prototype. Leveraging interest from electric-vehicle drivers and a year of increased demand due to the coronavirus, the pair came up with this off-grid, angular teardrop-style trailer meant to be towed by an EV.

 

 

 

Called the P17A, the space-capsule trailer features gullwing entry doors, solar panels on the roof, and, just as in electric vehicles, batteries built into the floor that provide energy to the LED lights and appliances, which can include an air conditioner, heater, fridge, induction cooktop, and a 110-volt outlet.

While the P17A was designed with EV towing in mind, the company blog features pictures of all kinds of vehicles towing its lightweight camper, from a 1987 Chevy Corvette Z51 to a 2004 Toyota Prius, a 2011 Mini Cooper S Clubman R55 to a 1997 Mazda Miata.
