Living Vehicle

Living Vehicle (LV) is a self-sustainable vehicle designed to support human habitation with very little to no resource needs from external sources.

LVs are purpose-built to live in year-round, thus they are capable of supporting human habitation in all seasons, including sub-freezing temperatures. They are also able to create and manage resources for continued and indefinite off-grid use.

Background
Designers Matthew and Joanna Hofmann set out to design a stylish off-grid vehicle in 2017. Inspired by years of traveling full-time in mobile spaces while running a custom mobile design firm in Santa Barbara, CA, the Hofmanns felt the need to create a new mobile space designed for a modern mobile lifestyle. LV is offered with very limited production per year.

In 2022, Living Vehicle was the first to release Atmospheric Water Generation in a production vehicle. Since its foundation in 2017, LV comes in different generations and models with diverse specifications.

Versions
The original LV was released in 2019, typically having large windows and skylights to create the outdoor living experience, as well as a large deck area. It was fitted with high-end home appliances.

LV 2020 introduced solar powered air conditioning, using 12 solar panels. Its interior length increased slightly, to 28 feet. Twenty-five LV2020s were to be produced.
