I'm sorry for being a bit MIA these past weeks, I've been on the road since early June, been hard to keep posting regularly while having to deal with constantly traveling. I'm doing my best to document my entire trip, here's Part one. Obviously there will be a decent delay between current travels and uploads as editing takes time. I will keep posting as I add additional videos!

My camper is a 2023 NuCamp Tab 320S with a tongue weight of around 326 pounds, a length of 15.5 feet and a total weight of about 2350 pounds. So far she tows like a dream and while towing my range from 90% is around 135 miles.

Feel free to comment!

I’m curious what percentage of a range hit you get towing the teardrop on the interstate?

Really enjoyed Part One. Looking forward to the next installment.
One suggestion, if you’ll permit, is to allow the text to remain on the screen a little longer. I’m a slow reader. 😊

Sorry to see about your trouble on the trip and the damage on your Lightning.

You will be quite the expert when you get back.

Damn, that's a hell of a loss for such a light and low profile trailer. So you were estimating about 1.1 mi/kWh? I would think that setup would get closer to 1.5, but apparently I know squat about it. I wonder if the shape of the pickup truck, specifically the drop to the bed is part of it, maybe you'd have a better slipstream for the trailer if you had a camper shell?

I don’t think the trailer is really low profile though, seems to be a good size height wise.
