There is only a small step between this and a hybrid RV using the hybrid powertrain for its A/C power.

Jamie, as an initial step, it looks like their basic 2-kW system doesn’t require hybrid at all, just optional gas engine. A wild guess on my part is that maybe it doesn’t involve much more than dual alternators, higher-capacity battery bank, plus a 2-kW inverter. Who knows, maybe Ford will include 48V and lithium batteries. That would be cool.

I could see the base 2-kW system added as option on RV chassis if it doesn’t involve the drivetrain (not requiring hybrid).. That would allow powering an air conditioner while driving, or microwave or coffee maker without having to start a generator during a short break.

The 7,200-Watt option looks like it might be 30A 120/240V capability.
