Steve MillerHmmm. Maybe.
It’s going to be very heavy, and for a trailer to tow without sway you need a minimum of 10% of the total weight in the hitch. I’ll guess the trailer in the picture weighs about 8K pounds with water and propane, which is a lot more than the Tesla in the picture is rated for.
The problem gets worse with 4 people in the car, which would put you in 10 ply tires territory.
We shall see.

CHASAirstreams are not chrome. They are have polished aluminum exteriors.
That is a single axle trailer. It is like a seesaw. What keeps the ends from dragging while it backs itself into a camping place.
The electrical systems at campgrounds are built for the loads of charging vehicles. Many are not reliable under light loads.
How will EV owners get home when they are at a campsite and must charge?
