minus-squareShortstack@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down1·1 month agoI’m curious what those dimensions and range will be. I’d love to have a little campervan for adventures without paying 50k+ for a gas guzzler
minus-square[deleted]@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·1 month agoDefault range is a little over 200 miles. Adding the weight of the camping stuff is likely to be what affects mileage more than the cargo shell, but I would guess it would still be over 150 miles in most conditions.
