A few years ago, I got tired of how expensive travel could be. Even with an efficient vehicle, you’re still needing to pay a lot of money for hotels and for meals. Travel with family, and both of those things get even more expensive. What I ultimately want is to pull a travel trailer with an EV, but that’s still out of reach, and probably will be for another couple of years. But, the urge to travel waits for nobody.
I took this rig out on a 4,000 mile trip across most of the United States, which was probably stupid in hindsight. I could drive longer days if I planned on stopping at a motel, as they don’t mind if you show up late the way a campsite does. So, on days I could drive for 12 hours, I was able to cover maybe 400-450 miles. My longest day was almost 500 miles, but I showed up at that hotel far later than I’d have liked and didn’t get as much sleep as I needed. So, I ended up needing to re-plan the rest of the trip for shorter days to allow for all of the delays that add up.
On this trip, I made several stops where I unpacked the whole campsite in the evening and then packed it all up the next day to leave. This was a dumb choice, as the best parts of the trip ended up feeling rushed and I started every day worn out and sweaty from packing up camp.
