As far as towing your Tesla it should also be able to have a simple control on your motor home dash that engages the Tesla drive so it becomes a pusher on grades

Do you know it the Tesla can be towed, 4-down? While I see one occasionally, I have yet to actually meet anyone who owns one. 

EDIT  I found the answer online in the Model S Quick Guide

Hi Kirk - they do have a tow mode and tow hook for recovery. I guess they can't levitate themselves out of a snow bank (yet) :). I don't know if they can be toad.

It would be cool if you could use your Tesla as a pusher and retarder in the hills.

"Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever.

Only issue with that is I don't always get to park truck with camper. 

Glenn, since you are taking your ACs off the roof and the powerwall is only 6 inches thick, you could lay it down on the roof, or mount it up under the back room where the spare tire is. I can hang it off the back cap, since I don't have windows there. This has been my secret plan for over two years now, just not able to pull trigger yet and Tesla won't sell you one yet without residential install.

Front cap wouldn't be very attractive, I think. The Telsa Power Pack needs more research, at least for me. My current plan is Chevy Volt, multiple inverters, converter(s). Roof full of solar. All running our Teton with all mini splits.
