McZippie, Good Link! When you think that the fuel cell cost over $5000 and $60 for a few days of methanol it sure doesn't make much sense.
Exactly... and to lesser degree Solar doesn't make a lot of sense either when comparing it costs, minimal power output and limited roof space on a Class B to a generator.
I understand the benefits of solar to top off battery banks but putting cumbersome boxy solar panels on a sleek stream-lined Class B seems counter intuitive.
I like the concept of the RS E-TREK as a one fuel RV!
My ideal Class B wouldn't have a Fuel Cell, Solar Panels, Roof top A/C, LP, generator or separate house and starting battery banks.
It would be one fuel, have only diesel or electric appliances, a large AGM or Lithium battery bank for both house and engine starting, protected with an automatic low voltage disconnect, and in place of generator an high output alternator and an engine that shuts off cylinders when used only to generate electric power and/or spin the A/C compressor.
