In the good old days most campsites were occupied by caravans. These days I would say that maybe 50 or 60% are campervan or motorhomes.
At the moment, other than a daily commute, EV still doesn't make sense for me.

Most are rated between about 1 to 1.3 tons, but if you start to load them with additional batteries, goodness knows. You also need to bear in mind that the towing car will probably also be heavily loaded.
