Tesla

I'd be curious. I found a video of some one pulling a small airstream. Their miles per charge was low, but a CI weights in at < 1400 lbs...and that is probably on the heavy side, not to mention the aerodynamics of a CI compared to an airstream.

Frankly, a model X would be really interesting since the "X" would keep the CI in the "shadow" behind the vehicle.

I think for some, low range isn't a problem -- The nomads who roam around a couple hundred miles a day...but for me, I've seen every park in Indiana -- and have driven a large percentage of major roads and even state routes. I'm usually leaving the house on a mission not to meander but to get to a destination.

I'd love to be proven wrong though...if a CI can give you 200 to 250 miles, it becomes viable.

 

Another factor is how you charge when you get where you are going. If you camp in a spot with a hookup, the Tesla has adapters to charge from the standard RV plugs, no problem. If you are dry camping you need to plan ahead to get charged up before hitting camp, and still have enough to get back to a charger at the end of the stay; just sitting without being plugged in the Tesla uses a few percent per day, more if you sit (or sleep) in it with the air conditioner or heater running.

 

True. Wonder when camp sites would lock down on that practice. Also, and this is a bigger concern, power is generally dirty at parks….voltages below 105 are common on hot days. This can fry microwaves and acs. Not sure I would want to plug in a $60,000 microwave

Battery anxiety on steroids is the electric car killer….at least as far as camping goes.

 

LOL

 

Here's an interesting solution. It's not a Camp-Inn but solves the range problem. Basically surge brakes plus.

Interesting. Notice no where is cost discussed
