Many people go out and about towing caravans. The following shows an example of what happens when using an EV with top battery specifications:

Not only much reduced range issues but also having to unhook the caravan so as to plug in to a public charging station and after a rather lenghty recharge session, having to rehook again - and do this on a rather regular basis. On top of this of course is the actual cost of the higher range vehicle - cost unspecified though bound to be rather expensive.

Notice also the lack of back seat passengers and lack of the usual luggage one would carry on a family trip - sure to add a little more battery drain. Notice also the weight of the vehicle itself - well over 2 tonnes - increased road taxes and more frequent tyre changes??

Sure to provide a holiday with a difference.

the unhooking is merely because the infrastructure isn't set up for caravans

what's also true is that in many towns, one has to unhook, drive to shops, comeback and rehook up as well

doesn't stop people from caravanning ------------ it's a nonsense argument
