That is a given--the auto market has taken this route as well: hybrids first, plug-in hybrids, then full EVs (although the Volt & Tesla's did come out around the same time frame).
A "plug-in" hybrid RV would make a lot of sense--especially since you'd be plugging the thing in anyway if A/C is available. A smart charger putting any "extra" amps into the hybrid batteries while camped would be great. Although I would imagine that campgrounds would start to complain that the new plugin hybrid RVs are consuming all of the available power when they first plug in! LOL
Such a system would probably not make it to market, though, given how frugal the RV manufacturers are.
