aptera could eventually offer a "muscle car" that can carry smaller such trailers, which doubles as a sports car.
https://www.quora.com/Is-it-legal-to-not-have-a-permanent-address-in-the-United-States for now RV living isnt common even though it could save a lot of money vs permanent homes, probably b/c RV people have to be allowed to dump their sewer stuff somewhere.
but i imagine this may become a new way of living as cost of living increases, although compact dense apartments would probably beat this from becoming more common for the same reason centralizing factories is more efficient than separate factories ex. thermal insulation.
at the same time, cost of taxes may outdo cost of traveling to another place for cheaper taxes, and government papers could one day be simplified as a service if enough people, such would incentivize government to have minimal taxes when competing for taxpayers. cost of travel could become much less enough with more efficient reliable vehecials.
smaller home also means less energy used for heating lighting etc, thats good for enviromental issues which is sort of the point of electric cars
Yes - Aptera would make a great vehicle to go with an RV. There are more people full-timing in RVs than you might think:
"RV ownership, which now stands at 11 million American households, has surged over the last decade, driven by growing interest from young people. The average age of RV owners fell from 48 in 2011 to 45 in 2016, and is dropping still; Generation Xers now have a higher RV ownership rate than Baby Boomers. More than a million Americans live full time in RVs, according to the RV Industry Association, and search data for terms like “full-time RV” and “RV living” show that the internet hive mind is attuned to the trend."

I agree. However I feel the perfect electric RV solution would be:
- a fifth wheel combination where
-- the fifth wheel has its own in-wheel motors like an aptera
-- the fifth wheel has its own large battery pack in the floor
-- the "pull" vehicle is smaller than the current trucks
-- trailer and pull vehicle are one streamlined combination
