That would also allow an all-electric “house” which could even power air conditioning or heat for a day or two. And if boondocking for many days, the range extender could start for an hour and charge batteries for another day or two (or much longer in mild weather).

As mentioned before, I expect this will happen first in B-Vans when OEM hybrid are brought to market. Unfortunately, it’ll likely be a few more years before we see large hybrid vans mass produced in North America.
This is exactly why I think the 2021 F-150 hybrid powertrain takes a step in that direction; especially with its available 7.2kW "generator".
