Business Insider: Lordstown Motors, Camping World Team Up To Build Electric RV

Lordstown Motors and Camping World are partnering to create a comprehensive electric vehicle-targeted plan that includes the electrification of RVs. 

As part of the partnership, the two companies will also work with RV makers like Thor and Forest River to create battery packs that replace onboard generators for road travel vehicles like travel trailers, Camping World chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis said during the joint press conference announcing the partnership. 

"The future is now, and the realization of electrifying RVs and the outdoor community is within our grasp and will only grow from here," Lemonis said in a statement on the news release announcing the partnership.

"Our goal is to make sure that the electrification of RVs doesn't start or stop with anything," Lemonis said.

In terms of a timeline, Lemonis and Burns hope to have a prototype of an electrified road travel vehicle by summer 2021, the first electrified travel trailer and fifth wheel sometime in 2021, and an electrified model by 2022.
