I like eliminating the propane and using induction cooking.

You could fit up to 8 400 watt solar panels on a 26 ft. coach.

The weight problem of adding a 100kv range extender, generator, and its
fuel along with a 75kwh battery pack would need to be solved.

You could charge at camp sights with a 240 volt 50 amp service.

You would probably drive 75 to 100 miles before the range extender was
needed. If you knew you would need the extender, it could be started after
about 25 miles.
This would be the equivalent of the BMW I3 on steroids with solar panels.
