Can you plug into a 110v plug while you’re at your destination? That is usually good for about 50 miles a day.
Sorry, but my B.S. meter is going crazy right now. I don't think you can get even close to "50 miles a day" on a 110V outlet with an R1T/S. Even if you meant a full 24-hours when you said "day" -- and not the ~12 hours "overnight" that most people mean -- you still wouldn't get half way to 50 miles, I think.

In Kyles first drive video he chuckled at how few miles were added overnight at a motel. That was at least 1000 watts.

Choose to believe what you will, but from actual experience traveling and hooking up at a vacation home, I was able to add about 50 miles per 24 hours hooked up to a 110v. I’m sure an electrical engineer can calculate a better rate knowing that it is a 110v circuit likely on a 15 amp breaker (probably derated by charger to 12 amp).

Not saying this is reasonable in all cases, but it might be just enough extra mileage to make some trips work.
