Hi all, anyone been to, or going to Oregon from SoCal in an R1, towing? I'm heading up to Coos Bay, Oregon Coastal Dunes in a few days, towing a single axle tent trailer with two ATV's. This is not my first time going there but it will be my farthest EV road trip yet. Any helpful suggestions? On previous long trips I usually charge from 10-20% up to 80-90% and keep going. I can't believe how it does it in the heat of the summer and hate to think what it does to battery pack longevity. I guess I'll just use ABRP and other apps to help find charging along the way and hit as many RAN chargers as possible.

Just asked someone that recently did a camping trip and towed up north. If they respond I will forward their response.

@Revtruk, the response I got on towing up north is the following advice.

1. Check plugshare before planning or going to an isolated charger to make sure it works. They went to one that didn’t work but luckily could make it to the next. Which could’ve been a hard lesson to learn.

2. Towing was effortless, averaged roughly 1.8 miles per kW. Asked what they’re towing weight was, waiting for response.

It was an 18ft trailer roughly 3k lbs.
