How frugal are million-dollar motorhomes or almost $200,000 Class Bs?

I agree that hybrid technology won't be integrated into motorhomes in mass production for a long time because of cost (both in equipment and development) but it will no doubt start as soon as plug-in hybrid vans are available.

Like solar and other new technologies, I expect early adopters will be technical guys doing it as a hobby to make a point, then spreading to low-volume RV manufacturers like Roadtrek that seem to pursue innovation even if it drives costs higher. Then the major OEMs will jump into market with much improved and lower-cost products based on established customer demand. There seems to be a repeating pattern.
