I believe the OP is wanting a TOTAL Electric Motorhome. That means it will use Locomotive type propulsion going down the road. NOT EVEN FEASABLE, at least in the next 10 to 20 years. You MUST have a large Locomotive type Diesel engine to run the Propulsion system, yet, that part would be extremely large and heavy and you have to figure a way to transmit that power to the Electric traction drive to move down the road. Remember,RV motorhomes weigh 26k to 32k pounds, NOT 5k like a Tesla. You LIVE in them and transport your belongings and there is not much extra space for a battery type propulsion system. Doug
Fully electric buses are already in service. Range of 155 miles might seem short but with a bit more battery or that generator running it would go a lot further.

You are comparing apples and oranges. 155 miles? You have got to be kidding. As I stated, NOT feasible for the RV market. AND, $550,000 and NO RV features, just seats. So, lets spend 2 million to buy this fully functional Electric Motorhome with RV features and then travel at less than 155 miles per day. AND, find somewhere that will have a charging station every 155 miles. Doug
