Going to miss you! Just saw this tread tonight. Heading to San-Jose for work Sunday, or I would have driven out to visit and see your rig. You don't know how excited I was to see this thread. This is my current tow/trailer setup. (See photo.) only issue with the X is we can't put kayaks on top and pull trailer. Have to get a kayak trailer.
Thanks for all the up votes. Just had to include a photo of 2 X's parked at tiny little Waldport -- quite a happening in a small town.
That is a lovely trailer. You should have no trouble pulling it with your X. Check out Ohmman's thread on his family's airstream adventure. We have found that our wh/m usage runs in the neighborhood off 560 - 600 wh/m generally, with greater usage in wind or with rain, so you can figure your available mileage by dividing your available battery size by this number ( or whatever your wh/m number is with your trailer). Be sure to include a % safety factor depending on your risk tolerance! It is easy finding campgrounds to charge at, and the superchargers are becoming far more numerous. You may want to invest in a chademo adapter for the rare occasions you might need one, and an extension cord for. both 30 and 50 amp charging, as well as a tt-30 adapter specific to electric vehicles for campgrounds with only 30 amp systems. Our trailer is about 3600 lb dry and 4100-4200 loaded. It is a 22 ft Airstream Bambi sport model. Tow limit for Tesla with tow package is 5000 lbs. The vehicle has absolutely no problems with towing that weight, and only impact generally is on range.
The 22' Sport has a GVWR of 4500 lbs and weighs 3634 lbs dry. Tongue weight was originally listed at 386, but they've updated it to 422 on the specs page. Good thing, because I have a tongue scale and haven't seen a weight lower than 450, even dry. With my original Bosal hitch, it took a lot of care to keep the tongue under the 500 lb limit. I still try to stay in that realm with my new hitch but I'm not quite as worried as I was.
My apologies to both Ohmman & yourself. Not paying attention. I've been following Bjorn Nyland's You Tube videos. He pulls a trailer all over Norway so I got some rough ideas of energy consumption/range from that. I'm projecting ~115 mi at the moment between stops until I get real data.
I've had 30kW charging at Vacaville on my recent trip but it didn't approach 2 hours. My longest charge was 90 minutes at Corning on my long trip. Otherwise it's almost always under an hour.
Thx! I'm ok w up to 90 min.
I bought a 12VDC adaptor for my Resporinics CPAP:
More of a webpage than an app, but I can vouch for Teslafi. I've been using it basically since we got the X. I love looking at all the charging and usage data.
It "works" for sure, but as Jim and @ohmman can testify to, you have to carefully plan your charging stops.
On Airstream's site I believe it's the floorplans link for each model that lists the specs.
I linked to the specs above. They're here, but you have to arrow to the right to get to the 22' Sport. They no longer offer anything except a front bedroom (FB). Incidentally, I'd have considered the previous layout which had a front dinette and a gaucho/futon lounge in the galley, if it was offered new.
If you tow a lot, you may want it just for ease of use. I'm really glad I installed the draw tite.
