  1. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    I watched the Munro video on Lightship. If I stumble upon a windfall, I will definitely get it. Unfortunately I will probably have to wait for a cheaper model.
  2. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    no, not proven wrong. Destination chargers and other companies worthless, usually broken chargers are not viable solutions for a road trip. Your proof is laughable as is your attempts to find a supercharger gap. Try traveling due north in this area with a trailer. Do you really want to bet...
  3. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    Not a viable solution for traveling to or from. You’d have to add hours or a day to your trip just to charge. Be reasonable here.
  4. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    A cursory look at the supercharger map and there are plenty of places you can go that are out of towing range from a supercharger. Too many to list. “The sky is blue” “Prove it. Show me.” “Step outside on a sunny day” “I didn’t see blue skies” “Did you look at the sky? “No, I want you to...
  5. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    Lol you aren’t looking hard enough. Big 259 mile gap between the interstates.
  6. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    I likely will not be able to afford their product so I’m not even bothering to reserve. I was burned pretty bad by some other crowdfunding ventures, and usually wait until the product comes to market now.
  7. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    That us exactly what this trailer would need to be. It would need to communicate directly with the truck in order to coordinate motor operation, and by having its own drive motor (with regen) would be far more efficient than just towing a battery. Meaning an RV of this type would serve you...
  8. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    [ I agree, my hobby tends to take me to remote places with no nearby chargers. I usually do not spend much time near my car, but it would be nice to sleep the night of arrival in the camper and the night before the day of departure, perhaps. I hope I can charge an EV with it, because that may...
  9. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    The map looks pretty, but towing a large trailer means you can’t cross the gap between rural superchargers without running out of charge. There are some remote areas that are not covered either. I’m not sharing my location, so I’m not sharing where my family goes. However, I will say that I...
  10. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    Take a dart board set. Throwaway the dartboard, keep the darts. Next, get a map that focuses on the upper midwest. Put it on a wall you don’t mind holes in. Then, start throwing. There’s your locations.
  11. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    1) Don’t have kids 2) My normal commute is 100 miles. Road trips are not a big deal. 3) the Midwest
  12. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    I don’t want to pay 200,000 to camp in a Semi
  13. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    Considering they are not even out yet, I strongly disagree. A battery powered, solar charged RV is very worth it to most people simply due to the convenience. You also underestimate the benefit of a drive motor on the trailer. From a driving experience and safety standpoint, once people start...
  14. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    I don’t know where you live, but anywhere worth camping near here has no charging for hundreds of miles. My parents would not be able to tow their RV with an EV.
  15. Lightship L1, revolutionary new RV eliminates towing loss

    https://www.teslarati.com/lightship-l1-all-electric-rv/ A company is going to be building an RV that has its own battery and drivetrain, which will enable it to minimize or eliminate the range loss due to towing. I’ve talked about this method before on these forums, it is awesome to see...
  16. Towing Camping Trailers

    I used to have a 1978 Olds 98 regency diesel that the previous owner had put in an auxiliary 50 gallon tank in its trunk. It could go from Wisconsin to Florida (and back, I think) without refueling.
  17. Cybertruck as a tow vehicle

    you will be able to drive through streams and shallow ponds with cybertruck so it would be fine if it got a little wet grabbing a boat. In most cases tho, only the trailer gets wet
  18. Cybertruck as a tow vehicle

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/robbreport.com/motors/cars/airstream-developing-new-electric-drivetrain-details-2898375/amp/ Airstream is way ahead of me, apparently, and are already developing one.
  19. Cybertruck as a tow vehicle

    The trailer is the slave. The truck is the master. The truck will always be pulling most. The powered trailer will never “push” the truck.
