Lol, let's see an RV is going to need at a bare minimum 100kWh of battery, in a van footprint, with wings you can maybe fit 3kW of panels. In an average NA summer day you get about 6 hours of full sun equivalent so you can get 18kWh of power. If you want to go 150-200 miles every week I guess you can have a solar powered RV.
I am sorry your glass is only half full.
:R




So, instead of planting trees, grasses, food crops to correct supposed man made climate change, we instead strip the land of all it's vegetation, turn the entire planet into vast swaths of solar arrays (which down the road is discovered to cause more "climate change" because solar panels absorb and re radiate heat from the sun) all so someone can drive a solar powered vehicle or RV?
Don't think that won't happen?
Think again, it is happening now..
Imagine all of those wonderful natural places where you camp in, a few yrs down the road loaded to the hilt with all of those eyesores instead of green vegetation, trees and wildlife..
Grand canyon? Grand solar canyon..
Joshua Tree? Joshua solar panel..
Ahh.. nothing like a nature hike in the giant solar panel forest..
