Has anyone found a good travel trailer for this yet? A little more set up for the pull of charging our trucks/SUVs will need?
Or has anyone just charged straight up on a solar travel trailer they already have and what kind of results did you get?
Or do you need to do some serious reverse engineering to make this magic happen?
I understand a full charge would probably take a month, but enough to cruise around and 4Wheel a bit? Or at least get you out of the Googs?
Any comments/thoughts/feedback on this would be awesome,
Thanks!
Saw below as a cool example.

Rivian's standby power burn is too high to reasonable recover anything with solar.

Dragging around an extra few thousand lbs of batteries doesnt seem worth it

From others posts I’ve seen, it can be like 2-4 miles a day from the vampire bats. Can’t make that up at least lol? I’m not a battery or solar expert, so definitely why I’m asking.

That's with everything turned off. When it's on charging, it uses a lot more energy.
