I'm here researching exactly that, although I don't plan to pull a "camper." I'm sure it's feasible. I might pull a trailer, and it's important for my decision-making that I live in an area where I'm sure I can find charging for my battery within a range of about 50 miles (80 km). That's twice as far as I've ever ridden the e-bike between charges. I plan to get a second battery (36 volt, 8 amp hours) because I still don't understand how much solar I would need to charge my battery, but I'm sure I can find charging within that 50 mile range. My specific current issue is how much the weight of my camping gear would affect my range and towing versus on-bike weight. (I'm aware that the engineering is different between towing and cargo weight. Hence, the trailer-towing capacity of a pickup truck is a multiple of the cargo-carrying capacity.)
