Greetings,
With a 9kW ground mount solar array going up adjacent to my new RV cover so time to ask:
1) Any idea if I can 'flat tow" (ie, w/o trailer) a Cybertruck?
2) The flat tow question relates to possibly getting a motorhome with a diesel genset (always handy) with a separate fuel tank that I could fill w/ off road if needed for SHTF, as above.
3) Already had an electrician go over my RV bumper pull and easy to run a circuit to not even have to unhook camper, but plug into 50A at campground and charge CT when trailer is plugged in. A state park campground will cost about $12-20 for 50A and, if my math doesn't suck (it does) would yield about $33 worth of electricity at $0.133/kWh
4) Great appeal of CT is that with 200 kW of battery, if truck were charged I'd be good to go off grid for a while if SHTF and that battery capacity, if installed into the RV, (forget the weight) would be about $40k USD by itself. (See above math disclaimer)
PV array is like this but two panels wider, 28 in all.
Any and all thoughts most welcome, as always
