 All hybrid trailer homes use green energy for electricity and heat.
The miniHome, the most sustainable hybrid trailer home, uses solar panels to generate electricity,
passive solar for heating and cooling, includes composting toilets (considered waste
treatment) and a rainwater collection
system. On top of all that, the miniHome is small and utilizes energy efficient appliances, including LED lighting, to limit its impact
on the environment. The miniHome can be transported via a truck and is suitable for
off the grid living. Clayton Homes has developed the iHome which looks the most like a traditional trailer but uses solar panels, energy efficient appliances,
thick walls with heavy insulation, rainwater collection systems,
tankless water heaters, and dual flush toilets.
140,000 and comes completely furnished. Hybrid trailer homes are
emerging as a key component of sustainable design for communities looking
to avoid suburban sprawl. The Loft Cube can be transported anywhere, even to building
rooftops via a helicopter, is stylish and is designed to take advantage of passive and
active solar power. Floor to ceiling windows achieve passive solar
warming and the cube can be positioned to achieve optimum solar power
via a panel system. According to Ms. P. Staebler, Loft Cubes have been modified
with solar panel systems in Germany but are currently not available in the United States.
Many innovative hybrid trailer homes have evolved from disaster relief efforts.
Hurricane Katrina taught emergency agency a powerful lesson in deployment of healthy, self-sufficient
trailer homes for displaced populations. The 13X40 foot unit can be
shipped in a standard shipping container and is DOT certified to be towed behind a 3/4 ton pickup.
It relies on solar panels, batteries, biodiesel generator, water storage tanks and water purification equipment.
It can be set up in less than two hours
by unskilled workers. The SFH40 is for use primarily in disaster areas but is a good example of hybrid trailer
design that can be transferred for urban planning goals.
Existing trailers can also be modified to become green homes.
These hybrid converters use antique trailers, to which they add efficient retrofits and sustainable materials.
One modified airstream added clay earth plaster walls to increase insulation. The
interior features bamboo counters and cabinets, eco-friendly fabrics and energy efficient appliances including
LED lighting.
For all of you searching for wild places, new hybrid recreational vehicles are in the works
to make sure your road trips getting out of the city to natural
places do no harm to the environment in the process.
These RVs will contain a specialized ecoFred chassis to run the vehicle on electricity as well diesel fuel, possibly biodiesel.
Winnebago’s Adventurer hybrid prototype features this integrated design. According to
Kelli Harms, Winnebago Industries is not producing these homes for
sale on dealer’s lots right now, but it will someday be a natural progression to have
these coaches available. If you can’t wait for them to be produced you
can easily convert your current RV by adding solar panels to the roof.
The conversion is incredibly easy because RVs already rely on Direct Current (DC) generators.
DC is the type of electric solar panels produce effortlessly.
All green hybrid trailer homes can be transported on a road and
use only clean energy sources,
mostly solar power. Some can be completely self sufficient while others can use power from the local utility.
Most hybrids incorporate some sustainable materials and
energy efficient appliances.
Hybrid trailers are useful in good urban planning designs and most
beneficially, can provide healthy refuge after severe
climate events.

Smoke, pet odors and musty odors can be difficult to eliminate.
During my days of selling RVs I witnessed RV interiors that were
professionally cleaned, but odors, like smoke,
still remained afterward. I also experimented with many different odor-control products,
but perhaps the best product I found for eliminating difficult odors
is Fabreze. Plenty of air fresheners just mask common odors, but in many cases masking an odor won’t eliminate it.
 You need something that can kill the odor that causes bacteria to
linger in the air, which is what Fabreze is supposed to do.
After rv vacation planner trips, or
before storage, clean the motorhome thoroughly and spray Fabreze throughout.
Don’t forget to spray the upholstery, carpet and fabrics, too.
4. To help prevent cooking odors from becoming permanent odors in your motorhome, make sure you turn the range
exhaust fan on whenever you are cooking, and it’s a good idea to open a
window, too. To maximize the efficiency of the range exhaust fan, keep the filter clean. On some motorhomes it is necessary to go outside and
open the range exhaust fan door so the cooking odors actually
vent outside. Check your motorhome owners manual for more details concerning maintenance
and operation of your range exhaust fan.
5. When it’s time to put the motorhome in storage there are
several steps you can take to assist with controlling and
eliminating common household odors. First, thoroughly clean the interior of the motorhome.
Remove all perishable food and leave cabinet doors and drawers open so air can circulate.
Defrost the freezer and thoroughly clean the refrigerator.
Leave the refrigerator and freezer doors cracked
open. I put a small tin of charcoal in the refrigerator compartment to help
absorb any odors. Baking soda works well, too.
If you decide to leave your clothes in the motorhome during periods of storage, use some mothballs to help control musty odors and leave the wardrobe doors and clothing drawers open to promote air circulation.
6. This brings us to the least favorite topic when discussing odors in our motorhome:
RV holding tank odors. The good news is there are some effective methods for controlling these odors, and it
doesn’t involve strong chemicals that can be dangerous to humans, pets and septic systems.
First, it would probably be helpful to explain why we sometimes
get a bad odor from the RV’s black water holding tank,
especially when you are traveling. Motorhome holding tanks are designed with
a vent pipe going from the holding tanks to the roof. The holding tank
odors accumulate in the tank and can’t really vent outside because there is no air
pressure to force these gasses (odors) up and
out of the vent pipe. |
