@aeonrv debuts the new EXT at Overland Expo, the all-season, electric cabin, off-road + off-grid, new high-tech RV. Extended means more: more cargo, more towing, more time off-grid. An extra 18 inches opens a north-south twin bed layout and a bigger gear garage for up to four bikes. A 1,200W solar array and 15.36kWh Victron battery deliver days off-grid, no propane and no generator required. New for 2026, the wood-free interior uses all-composite construction, no wood in the cabinets or wall panels, with a PET foam core made from recycled water bottles that runs about 50 percent lighter. Explore with freedom. #AEONrv #OverlandExpo #Overlanding #OffGridRV #AdventureRig
