BEV as a toad behind diesel pusher
As the BEV/RV capability debate rages on, I have couple of questions regarding the viability of an electric car being used as a towed vehicle. First, are some even rated as being capable of being t...

Depending on how the regenerative braking was balanced with the brakes in the MH, it could be possible to produce a lot of electrical power.
The dinghy vehicle could not only be used to brake itself, but could also contribute some braking ability to the motorhome towing it.
There's a lot of kinetic energy in a 30,000 pound motorhome rolling down the road at 75 MPH! :B
Naturally, this would be limited by the capabilities of the dinghy vehicle: Most regenerative braking systems fall back on conventional service brakes whenever the amount of braking required exceeds their ability to convert it all to electrical power.
