@Septimusus Given the stock truck had a gross vehicle weight of 3200KG they added 460 KG before you put anything in the truck that engine and transmission are going to struggle.
But not knowing the construction method and having an unknown air suspension system, would be a hard pass for me.
Well this route been rumored for literally 50 years that I am aware of, and while it is possible that one did exist, the trick would be to find it. A lot of the transmission towers are brought in and serviced by helicopter so even the pipeline trail could be very marginal.
In the old days a lot...
I am going with stay away, it looks like they added an axle to support the camper. It is really more of an RV than a camper, you can see the access from the cab. So it will be very underpowered, unless a significant engine upgrade was done
And the range is the issue at least here in BC, where charging stations are still pretty rare outside major highways. You can definitely car camp to major campgrounds but there are not many of those in comparison to no service campsites. So the big one here close to Vancouver is Manning...
@Downs Well in a automotive sense you more limited, space and weight really. Although I suppose you could set up an on demand system, run on electric when the battery gets to a certain point the diesel kicks in and starts adding charge to the battery to keep you going. I do not know how...
And jet packs damm it, but to fair Ev-points abut city use for Ev's are pretty valid in a lot of places, and finding better power generation is a good idea. But Wind and Solar are a best band aids on a commercial/utility scale as they are not power on demand but great for home owners.

7 years old in the back of station-wagon, with my 4 siblings a dog, mom and dad. 100 or more miles from nowhere fishing for 3 or 4 days. It kinda of stuck with me and I have been wandering for nearly 60 years now.
@EV-offroad for me range is more an issue of there is notstandard for how it is calculated among manufacturers - leading to a lot of the range anxiety. It should a solid test across every maker, not marketing tool by some (Telsa). That is good news on the Ioniq battery that is how they all...
@EV-offroad 12-15 year for a battery is a pipe dream, that tech is not new and battery functional lifetimes are pretty well known, the 5-7 year life time is currently accurate. While the battery may be usable beyond that range will start drop dramatically. Good battery management software and...
The military used gas ones a 1000 years ago when I was a young man made a hell of boom if you got too much gas in before lighting, but the would heat a 45 gal of water in no time
