Camping mode trick

Just found this hack on the bolt EV forum for enabling camping mode on 2027 Bolts not sure if it works for older Bolts. Basically just turns off the auto shutoff feature.

Step one open door

Step 2 hit the accelerator/go pedal/zoom zoom pedal/skinny pedal 3 times

Step 3 hit the brake

Step 4 close door

Can confirm that this works and stays on even with opening the driver's door afterwards and moving to the rest of the car.

Reduced LVL2 Charging voltage

So I have a 2027 Bolt bought it brand new recently I've noticed when I first plug it in it will charge at around 6.75 kw I'll go inside and I come back and it's dropped to 3.25 kw. It's been warm here in southern California and the car sits outside when charging is this normal? Is this like a safety feature of some sort?

Being used for daily towing

I'm looking to start a niche towing transport business, and started looking at trucks. I have a decent solar setup on my house, the trailer I am looking at weighs 3500#. Most of the vehciles I would be towing I think would be in 4-6k range so total weight would be close to the 10k limit. Do those of you that have done sme towing think this truck would hold up well being used like this?

Not used to efficiency like this

Coming from a Tesla Model S to the Bolt I'm not used to seeing efficiency like this. The drive that i used to make 120mile round trip used to take most the battery and I could only do it once. The bolt I can do it twice. That's a win for me.

So like the title states, I'm wondering what you guys think the longevity of the bolt would be being used as a commuter making 120mile round trip commute 5 days a week. I have a beefy solar system on the house so id be charging at home daily, looking to keep the car to at least 200-250k miles. Also I like to do some car camping from time to time and I was wondering if anyone knows if the seats in the 2027 fold all the way flat or not for a decent sleeping platform.
