Cool concept...I think, as this technology develops, so will the battery life. If batteries for these RV's become consistent, I can see an exchange program across the country (like gas stations) where you just pay a fee to "swap" charged batteries out at specific locations (maybe truck stops or RV dealers). The battery portion on the coach would become a leased item where you just pay a monthly fee for it's use. I will be pushing up daisies by the time something like this comers along...but it's a great possibility. Electric forklifts have had similar programs for years...you buy the equipment, lease multiple batteries and swap them out between shifts...no down time or battery replacement costs.
