Going to be extra short trips. Constant travel interruptions.
Need for AC in tow vehicle will make depletion rate murderous.
There's a Tesla thread on AIR (Airforums) and for the life of me I fail to see the appeal of a hamstrung tow vehicle.
Given that the average RV'er travels but 25k miles in five years it isn't cost prohibitive to own a dedicated TV. I'm not in favor of such but I could see where with an EV as daily driver it could make sense. 25-mpg plus is possible with a 20-23' AS trailer. And that change in size brings a great deal of utility.
With RVs the single most important system is propane. Water a close second. Electric almost irrelevant.
Solar is not a reasonable substitute. Expensive, heavy and complicated. For a lot less energy available. And quickly obsolescent components.
Take your time in all this.
