That Airstream is bit too large
Something like this drop top would be my choice

Kinda cool. Obviously a work in progress but should be interesting.
Thanks for posting.

Can Am in Canada has long been famous for setting up unconventional vehicles that tow really well.
I believe this guy really knows what he is doing. Far more than most dealers even if he pushes the limits.

Regardless of its 'ability' to tow, it's still a pretty lightweight vehicle for the job. I'll take a hard pass on that one.

Power and weight not an issue, as the car weighs close to 4000 lbs. For me the real deal breaker is a travel cycle of 2 hours driving and 1 hour stopped to charge, and that's with removing the A/C from the roof of the Airstream to improve aerodynamics. 200 miles on a charge towing would be livable, but many, many towing videos I've watched show that reality is more like 100 miles per charge.
