Onan or another company would make a killing in the RV genset market by making an inverter generator that is coupled with a decent sized battery, and having the generator run on something similar to eco-throttle. If a large load hits, the battery would carry it (like the Yamaha 3000iSEB's mechanism) for a short time until the generator is up to speed. The result would be a nice, quiet, economical genset.
.... or how about one of these built-in automatic start/stop generator setups that are only 54 dB loud (quieter inside an RV's cabinet) and skip the 120V AC step completely. Just run your entire RV off 12V DC from your battery bank and 120V AC from an inverter off your battery bank (including the air conditioner) while this great piece of engineering takes care of the batteries quietly anywhere, anytime, any weather:
