EV alternative for light/medium duty trucks
So much wheel spinning on EVs, what if they are not the right path forward? The biggest problem with renewable power and EVs is storage, the second is storage, and the third is storage. Another pat...

Here's All Electric Family towing their Airstream using a strategy of two EV trucks to get their camper to the campground. Unbelievable!

Thanks, that was fun.
BTW for those who haven't seen this, they're taking both EVs to an EV rally and they wanted to see which truck performs better. They say several times this is just a fun experiment and isn't the way they normally travel.
That's a beautiful 30' Airstream. :-)
How does a young family afford a very expensive Rivian, a very expensive Airstream AND an expensive F150 Lightning? I also would like to see how the Rivian and Lightning do towing a conventional TT, instead of the streamlined Airstream.
From what I see discussed on the EV/RV Facebook groups they don’t. Most people with Rivians are towing lighter smaller lower profile trailers like ours. Seems to work quite well for them. I don’t pay as much attention to the lightning group but at least the folks we have talked to or corresponded with are towing lighter smaller units, although I know at least one who tows his what I consider fairly large trailer to a local forestry site every Friday night. Pretty close to town though. No idea what it says but it’s probably around 27 or so feet.
If it was me and I was pulling a big trailer I would go back to diesel. Right tool, right job.
