Winnebago investing heavily in Electric powertrains

Given that motorhomes already have generators, and a battery pack, would it not be relatively simple to enhance both of those systems to provide an on demand source supplemental power on hills or merging into traffic?
Some transmissions have a provision for a PTO shaft. Maybe it would be possible to hook up an electric motor to the shaft and add power to the drive train through it.
A robust generator (10k watts?) and a substantial lithium battery pack could provide a possible source of additional power as needed.
I would be interested to see if that was possible.

I don’t know. I think it would be simpler just to add a 20 Kw diesel in a hush box for a back up method of charging and leave the whole drive train electric. Do most of your charging at DCFC or for those who stay a couple days or longer just charge in the camp site. Meter the pedestal.
