Those of us who tow an RV are one example of an extension market...scarcity of "pull-through" charging stations means we have to find a place to unhitch, go charge, re-hitch. If an extension were safe and feasible, many times charging stations are available from opposite side of normal parking...

I've put about 4,000 miles towing a Casita we purchased new in 2025, my average is is 625 kWh/mile, i drive 60-65mph on freeways mostly. Non freeway is sometimes better sometimes not, but we get close to 200 miles per charge. Tried posting a pic but typing this on samsung android tablet and not...

Update from Grok on tax payments: The statement is mostly accurate but slightly outdated or rounded, based on the most recent IRS data for tax year 2022 (the latest fully available as of December 2025). Here's a comparison using data from reliable sources analyzing IRS Statistics of Income...

We're looking to move to VA in the Staunton area early=mid 2027, coming from Florida, and I have two Teslas and estimating property taxes using Grok, et al. However, the auto insurance between Florida and rural VA is cheaper and completely offsets the property taxes. No guarantee that will...

Virginia law requires property tax filing for vehicles registered in another state if those vehicles reside in virginia over a set period of time. I don't know how they enforce that, but if you are caught in arrears, 20% penalty plus interest and back payment.

I am towing a 2025 Casita Independence and use the CT as shorepower when needed, since my setup works with full AC, and not too disimilar from your Basecamp 2.0, I asked Grok to configure, here's his/its comment: "Yes, powering your Airstream Basecamp 2.0's air conditioning (typically a 13,500...

Einstein kind of blurred this with his Spacetime theory of Special Relativity: "measurements of time and distance are not absolute but are relative to the observer's motion." Einstein's four-dimensional continuum is the arena in which all physical events occur. However, in favor of your...

Yes, the URL posted by HaulingAss points to the combo (both the adapter and the soft shackle). It doesn't say "combo" in the title but if you look at the description I believe it says combo somewhere. It's $140 for the combo, so if that's the price you know you have the combo. The soft shackle...

Perfect, just ordered the combo package.

https://brennans-garage.com/ Can you provide specific product names for each? Above url looks like the right garage but could not locate product that matches adapter and shackle? Thanks for your tips, I just purchased the wyeth-scott more power puller (comealong) and extensikn, read all their...

Thanks for that info on the Casita, we're getting the Independence Deluxe, been looking at Dometic outdoor privacy room but haven't decided yet, retiring in 2 years and looking forward to exploring, boondocking, etc. Curious whether mountain passes affect range, downhill regen might counter...

I have a Honda EU3200i, and a 14 gallon gas caddy, picking up a Casita RV July 8 in Rice TX. This option gives me about 73 miles of additional towing range (assuming the Casita cuts my 300 miles in half). Grok compared the options in attached table. Obviously have not tried it out yet but fyi if...

THere is a foot step (bumper) just behind the passenger rear tire, foot on the step, hands on the rubber guide on the open tonneau, step right up to the tailgate.

I use this one, when not using attach to Ltrack fits near right side rear (right side doesn't obstruct electric outlets). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHQQMM12?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

Take a look at the returns below, Telsa vs. S&P500, Ford, and GM. My interpretation is that TSLA had a runup owing to election results and perceived positive benefits in November, and has settled as of Friday to a mere 475% or so "value add" since its inception, with an ascendant trend in the...

I think there isn't much to add on this debate that hasn't already been said about Musk's value to Tesla as CEO, except perhaps the observation that the case against Musk (which Idon't share)is a complaint that his politics has hurt share price, and a CEO who exhibits authenticity in that way...

Caulked outside, the crevice between the glass and the tonneau, I still have a dry vault bed, no leaks.

I had this occur also but fixed. The version1 (haven't replaced with v2 yet) 3m ahesive was so difficult to remove the red tab that when installed it left an opening where rain water could enter. Fortunately, that opening apparently allowed the water to evaporate after 2 days, I trimmed a high...

Basing recommendations to subscribe or purchase on forecasted estimates (for both timing on full autonomous capability as well as economic estimates) surely cannot be a one-size fits all, IMO. For example, if one is 70 years old, believes they have 5 years left of safe self driving (which is...
