Normal, Illinois? I've driven through there a few times. Stopped once downtown to grab a bite a restaurant. When we came out, someone attempted to steal the propane tank off our pop-up. The way it was bolted down, it was near impossible for anyone to smash-and-grab it. We reported it to the police and they said it was probably someone running a meth lab who attempted to steal it.

There was a thread just in the last few days on these forums where someone brought up the issue of a campground that was charging more for 50 amp service opposed to 30 amp service for members vs non-members. This bring up an interesting point? If you're going to use an "electric" truck for camping purposes...if that be a truck camper or towing anything... everyone will want to plug in their "electric" autos for recharging. Well... if campgrounds are squabbling over charging different rates for 30 vs 50 amp service, what will they do when folks plug in their autos? OH MY... that's another whole new can of worms being opened!

I suppose, like with any tow vehicle, everyone will need to do their homework to make sure a truck like this is compatible for their towing / hauling needs.

At only 400 miles a charge, that means folks who travel long distance (like those who drive for 12-14 hour days, looks like THAT won't be happening. Folks will have to stop sooner for charge-ups. So, might as well pick your distance at 400 miles or less and spend the night. It might take a while to travel from Maine to Southern California, so better start today, and hope you make it there next month!

I've rambled enough. I feel better now.
