I believe the hybrid would be better for multiple reasons:
Power always available for all needs.
Loosing the Onan and propane.
Less need for batteries.

I think your correct hertfordnc, ground zero of this tech development would be with large truck fleet delivery. Any sources of articles for that development out there?
Jim K, any comments or info pertaining to upcoming battery development?
Hybrid to me looks more viable from the security of having multiple options for propulsion considering the vast terrain and locations we take the GMC’s. Pure electric range could be affected by just climbing steep grades in mountain range so I’m wondering if a hybrid setup is possibly a better arrangement. Taking the worse case scenario such as mountain range driving and meeting the needs of that would be to me the starting point if this was even possible for a RV. Steep long grade climbs along with potential infrequent refueling locations would be to me the benchmark. I would like to know more of how a series hybrid works off a generator. Having all wheel hubs with a electric recharge ability sure sounds like the way to recover energy in mountain driving but it would certainly come down to the numbers. Anybody good friends with a GM exec? Kinda wonder if Matt has a good point where you would have to lift our GMC onto a lighter composite frame that already has these drive train systems installed?
