APU on a trailer hitch mount?

Most of the time a car is parked outside, and inside it shouldn't be that hard to find an outlet. But a solar roof is more of a gadget thing anyway.
Yes they are a nice thing if you want to be able to do a world tour on purely solar energy Martian style. Just keep in mind that hauling even their smallest model around would slice a lot of your range:
However at a base price of $50.000 I would just buy a second hand Model S instead.

More or less exactly what I meant with DC generator with ChaDemo plug.

Well, ok...
I might go from Gunnison, CO to, Salida, Leadville, Edwards, Aurora, Montrose, Delta, Grand Junction, Rifle, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Monte Vista, and, well, I guess that's about it.
Here's a couple of routes:
Gunnison to Aurora

I have to admit that you're a bit in a deserted neck of the woods yes.
This is assuming you have the nema 14-50 adapter so you can charge at good speed at a 14-50 outlet.(Which is a must have for every North-American Leaf rider anyway) Also call ahead at RV parks before you go:
Ok let's go!
Leg 1:
Gunnison - Tomichi Creek trading post 32 miles
Leg 2: Off to
Salida brewery 33 miles
Leg 3: Let's visit a
Nissan Dealer and ChaDeMo up over there. 92 miles
Leg 3a: I'f your unsure that you can make the 92 miles you can always make a dash charge at
Echo Canyon Campground at the halfway point.
From Pueblo up there are plenty ChaDeMo chargers along the way.
If you want I can plot out some other routes for you, I'm more or less twisting thumbs at work anyway.
