Switchback Lounge
Rest easy with our SwitchBack Lounge. It’s a daybed and social area during the day, but quickly converts to a plush sleeping area with a pre-made bed.
AE.1 Cosmos
A completely new way to explore the outdoors.
Only 50 AE.1 Cosmos Edition units available
The Aero-Electric advantage
The AE.1™ Cosmos Edition’s Aero-Electric design combines advanced aerodynamics with the most robust battery power found in any trailer to achieve near zero-range loss.
Boosted by TrekDrive™
The TrekDrive™ is where the intelligence and muscle come together on the AE.1. Designed with intelligent vehicle assist technology delivering self-propulsion and our proprietary smart hitch with two-way force sensing between your trailer and tow vehicle, allowing the trailer to tap into additional power on an uphill climb and apply controlled braking on a slope. The result — maximum travel efficiency.
CampQuiet Confidence
The AE.1™ is the only travel trailer that operates as a self-contained microgrid, equipped with the largest and most capable battery and solar system on any available travel trailer. Run your climate control and appliances, delivering weeks of off-grid living. We call it CampQuiet, it’s a true outdoor experience without fossil fuel generators and exhaust.
AE.1 Cosmos Edition Colors
Inspired by the natural tones of the surrounding landscapes, these two colorways — DuskHorizon and Timberline – are inspired by the outdoors and custom-designed by Lightship. They’re only available one time — for the Cosmos Edition trim-package and build.
Limited-edition colors

Convertible dinette table
It’s both a dining area that easily seats four and a bed that sleeps two. Built with high-grade materials and upholstery, our convertible dinette is at the do-it-all center of the trailer both day and night.
-
Three-Point Galley Kitchen
The unique three-point layout of our Galley Kitchen is intuitive and efficient. Equipped with all-electric, space-saving appliances and ample counter space on one side and a custom sink with even more counter space on the other, your meal-prep and clean-up find their flow. Dirty dishes while camping has always been a challenge so we included a super-efficient, super quiet dishwasher with space for six place settings that uses less water than hand-washing.
-
Elevated bathroom experience
Utilizing durable, quick-drying and easy-to-clean materials, we built our bathroom around a space-saving footprint to do more with less. The shower, sink and toilet work seamlessly together to maximize available space with the option to keep the entire space open to shower off your kids or dog, or block off the sink and toilet to keep them dry. The outcome is one of the most spacious, inviting bathrooms in a travel trailer of this size.
-
Large utility sink
We designed a fully-functional, hard-working kitchen so we knew we couldn’t skimp on the sink. With a deeper basin than most — cooking, cleaning, brushing, refilling, everything really… is that much easier.
-
Smart storage
Go ahead and keep packing it in. Our 13-feet of super-spacious console storage is ideal for keeping gear out of sight, but still easily accessible. You’ll find additional interior storage under the SwitchBack lounge, behind the seatback, and in the bathroom. Store your largest gear in the exterior-accessed storage.
-
Charging around every corner
Throughout the AE.1 we’ve integrated both wireless and wired charging where you need it. For off-the-grid work or adventure, keep your gear (cameras, radios, GPS), appliances and even your vehicle fully charged and powered with 120v and 240v options.
AE.1 Cosmos Edition

-
01Simple space conversion that easily sleeps four
Your space does double duty. The AE.1 Cosmos Edition features two convertible sleeping areas with space for up to four. The dining area easily swaps over to a bed for two and the SwitchBack™ lounge functions as daybed seating and social hub during waking hours and a super-plush sleep zone at night — custom bedding included with the AE.1 Cosmos Edition.
-
02
Nature's views uninterrupted
Fully experience the outdoors with Lightship's expansive shatter-proof and impact-resistant windows, which offer panoramic views from anywhere inside the trailer. Designed to utilize as much natural light as possible, the AE.1™ Cosmos Edition is your window to the world even when you’re out in the elements.
-
03
Complete climate control powered by AirRight
Custom designed and built from the ground up for the AE.1™, the AirRight climate control works as an integrated system rather than singular units that simply blow hot or cold from one area of the trailer. It’s a precise, quiet, intuitive, completely battery-powered operation.
-
04
AE.1 Cosmos Edition accessories
The AE.1™ Cosmos Edition comes standard with a full suite of Lightship’s accessories, including our CargoCraft modular storage system, space-saving packing cubes, an all-weather portable wifi sound system, a weight distribution hitch for a more stable ride, AE.1 charging cable, and upper window blackout shades for sensitive sleepers.
The AE.1 Difference
The AE.1 Difference
Aero-Electric doesn’t describe a single body shape or feature on our travel trailers. It’s the combination of multiple Lightship innovations working together to create a new efficiency standard in the RV industry.
Rather than starting with a single challenge, the design team at Lightship looked at the trailer holistically. Dual Mode for low profile towing and full height interiors. TrekDrive™ uses sensors to provide intelligent vehicle assist while towing on flat terrain as well as on climbs and downhills. The AeroHub, located in front of the trailer at the tongue, is critical for trailer aerodynamics and serves as safe housing for important electronics, and multiple power connections including your NACS charging port.
-
01
From Road Mode to Camp Mode in no time
No more complicated setups and wasted time at the campsite. With Lightship’s one-touch transition from Road Mode to Camp Mode, your RV instantly raises and expands to create an open, comfortable living space with more than 7 feet of headroom no matter where you park it.
-
02
The most solar under the sun
Made for durability and optimal energy collection, the AE.1™'s 1.8kW (1800 watts) of heat-tempered, rooftop solar panels are built to withstand extreme weather for reliable power on the road. Our proprietary SunRoof energy system ensures continuous power production even in shaded or cloudy conditions. No more fossil-fuel run generators, your supply is always strong and resilient.
-
03
Tow like a pro
We designed the AE.1 with an automotive engineering mindset, giving it dual axles and one of the lowest centers of gravity in the industry. This provides more confident, easier towing for electric, gas, or diesel tow vehicles.
-
04
Connect or disconnect, it's up to you
Our Atlas system gives you complete control over all of your Lightship’s internal systems - from transitioning from Road Mode to Camp Mode, preconditioning your space with AirRight, auto-leveling, monitoring your water and energy levels, and so much more. Think of Atlas like a smart home hub for your AE.1, giving you access to everything all in one place, right at your fingertips.

Big Adventures, Bigger Storage
Welcome to the Gearage, Lightship’s under-vehicle storage that’s as spacious as your imagination. Its “bigger on the inside” design means you can pack tents, duffels, and portable stoves without worrying about space. With over 30 cubic feet of capacity, this pass-through tunnel provides the perfect solution for storing all your adventure essentials. From hiking boots and backpacks to wetsuits and lifejackets, the Gearage is built to accommodate even your largest, most awkwardly shaped gear.
Lightship’s self-propelled, all-electric TrekDrive™ reduces the burden on your tow vehicle, ensuring next to no loss in range for an estimated 300 miles of long-range towing, whether you’re using an electric or gas-powered truck.
The AE.1™ comes equipped with three ultra-wide cameras delivering unmatched coverage of your trailer’s surroundings. Integrated with our Atlas System, the Lookout Camera System ensures excellent visibility for effortless maneuvering and positioning, whether you're reversing or parking. From spotting unexpected overnight visitors to identifying who’s at your door with the side-mounted camera, this system offers the ultimate in security and convenience.
The AE.1™’ Cosmos Edition’s built-in auto-leveling system makes it easy to get your travel trailer set up when you arrive at your camp for the night. With just one touch, the system adjusts and stabilizes your Lightship to find level across a wide range of terrains and contours.
When concepting the AE.1™ systems we didn’t shy away from the ones that cause the most anxiety, starting with waste water management. We designed a significantly cleaner and more pleasant experience with automation that means minimal interaction with the dirty gray and black water and a simple and stress-free way to empty your tanks so you’re ready for your next destination.

AE.1 Cosmos Edition FAQs
The AE.1™ Cosmos Edition, Atmos and Panos come equipped with our all-electric TrekDrive™. The LFP batteries and electric motor provide the trailer with continuous self-propulsion which lessens the load on the tow vehicle. If your tow vehicle is electric, you'll see an extended range. If your tow vehicle has a combustion engine, you'll experience improved fuel economy.
Ground-breaking aerodynamic drag performance is part of what makes a Lightship trailer completely unique in the industry. From day one, the AE.1 was designed for maximum aero-efficiency. Dual Mode enables the trailer to convert between low-profile Road Mode (which minimizes the AE.1's frontal area to increase range and towability) to Camp Mode (giving grand, spacious interior headroom and dramatic panoramic windows).
The AE.1™ uses the NACS — North America Charging Standard.
