Every route, logged.
Every route gets the full writeup: the kilowatt-hours, the campsites, and, when the road takes its toll, the repairs.
Routes we've taken

The Utah Ducati Run
- 1,691miles
- 4days
- 1.79mi/kWh
- Rivian R1Ttow rig
The Rivian R1T ran empty to Alpine, Utah to collect a 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore off Bring a Trailer, then towed it home in a rented U-Haul 5x8 enclosed cargo trailer, about 1,400 pounds loaded. A far lighter, boxier trailer than the Airstream, and the return measured 1.57 mi/kWh against 2 empty on the same I-15.
