I just got back from a week caravanning in the UK and was impressed by the range I managed to get out of my model Y long range.
My caravan is a Sprite Quattro EW, twin axle, 1590KG so probably closer to 1750kg when fully loaded. The car was filled with 5 people and a boot full of paddle boards and luggage, so very heavy.
The journey was from the North West of England up to Coniston lake, so exactly 90 miles.
I started off with a full charge at 99% and made it to the camp site on 44%, so 55% usage. The return leg was a little better using only 52% of range.
The average consumption stated around 440wh/mile but not sure how this translates into anything meaningful if I am honest.
Weather was good with little to no wind. Temperature was around 24degC.
Based on the range I witnessed, I would predict the setup would be good for circa 160-170 miles, which was far greater than I expected!
I am going to the south of France in July and have a 1,000 mile journey to look forward to. I will post back here with the results of the trip and the complexity of charging up whilst towing a caravan.
Hope this post helps someone out as I was struggling to find any relevant information.
