How about some meaningful data other than miles, average kwh and speed (which are all very useful, thank you).
Like weight of the trailer, frontal area of the trailer. what CT (AWD, Beast), what driving mode (chill, standard, hurry).

I haven't yet hooked up my TrailManor hardsided popup. I need new hitch & ball.
Thanx in advance for any details.

The KWH are on the screen 86 kwh. Video states, 60 MPH, no wind. AWD, Chill. Have not weighed the camper officially, but it's ballpark 5,000 lbs loaded. Thats all I have for now.

Trailer might be lighter than you think, since that is a single axle; likely 3,500 lbs or less.

How far did you drive, and how many kw/hr did you use? Youtube is not useful for me, since it never seems to load. I really do appreciate you documenting this and am interested in your stats.

They claim 2200 KG or 4850 lbs. This thing is very strong and high quality. All top of the line off raiding components. Made for the outback. We drove from Las Vegas to Boulder over about 4 days. Did some camping at a state park and zion. Definitely all factors going against the CT. Cold, mountains, highway speeds etc. So we are trying to now work backwards to improve efficiency, plus add this huge battery system and large solar array. Camper is averaging around 732 wh/mile under these conditions. Not bad under the circumstances.

I know the roads, the current weather, and see it is a decent size trailer. What a fun trip. I imagine you are also burning some electricity by keeping the disco lights blazing and music blaring through all hours of the night. With your stats we can all plan our trips too, so thank you.
