With auto driving also on the radar, what about not even connecting the car to the MH? It just follows along 5m behind the MH as if it were towed? No hooking up, no disconnecting, no extra length or weight on hills. With some sort of beacon on the MH for the car to follow, this seems like a much easier control problem than 'normal' auto pilot for an EV.
A true self-driving vehicle wouldn't even need to stay behind the motorhome - just program in the desired destination, and the vehicle would get there on its own.
Naturally, due to range limitations, it might need to meet you at designated charging stations along the way.
