This is the ID.4 and ID. Buzz ultimate EV camping field test. We break down the three different sleeping setups: (1) inflatable "penthouse suite" on the roof (Dometic TRT 140 AIR rooftop tent), (2) the "first floor" of the Buzz alongside a cool custom kitchen box, and (3) regular mattress in the back of the ID.4.
In this episode, we cover:
Setting up the Dometic TRT 140 AIR rooftop tent and getting it to that perfect 9 PSI.
Measurements and headroom comparisons between the rooftop tent, ID.4 and the ID. Buzz.
Overnight EV battery drain (Spoiler: 2 Heating sessions only used 4% of the battery!).
The realities of car camping: morning condensation, blocking out sunlight, and whether you really need custom window shades.
