Pulling a unique RV with Cybertruck: custom solar powered Casita RV

[Snakesteve]

In the attached video I test tow a custom outfitted solar powered Casita RV with a Cybertruck.

My dream is to acquire a Cybertruck (I do have a reservation) for my small 501c3 organization and use it as our primary environmental/renewable energy and EV
education outreach vehicle and as the tow vehicle for our mobile outreach classroom - the RV in the attached photo/video.

The camper may not be a big deal, but something tells me that the impact that the solar panel has on the air flow is going to be deadly. Air trying to go over the trailer is going to get trapped in the small distance below the panels.

I've been towing it in this configuration for over 2 years without any issue.

Not with a Cybertruck.

I didn't say that it wouldn't tow, just that it may have interesting aerodynamics.

Ah, you are correct, I misunderstood. Yes, not with a Cybertruck. I suppose it will be fascinating to see what happens.

Have you pulled the trailer with any 100% battery EV (not hybrid)?

Yes, we often use a 2019 Chevy Bolt EV to pull a small pop-up camper/utility trailer without issue.
