Yeah I agree. If you think about it a hybrid system would be a no-brainer: The coach builder could take advantage of all the power the OEM has already put/stored in the hybrid battery system. You'd be able to run things a lot longer on that battery than current 12V batteries (simply because it takes a lot more power to move the thing around that running refer, A/C, etc.).

In addition to all that the engine that charges everything is automotive spec...including the muffler. Thus when the AGS eventually does kick in...nobody hears a thing.
