No doubt air conditioning requirements affect system design to a great degree. Without need to power an air conditioner (or two), a modern motorhome can often get by without a conventional generator. And without need to power A/C, there is also little need to have 600~800 Amp-hours of lithium batteries, or any other type making up a large battery bank.

The Winnebago Revel has no standard A/C listed, and comes with only 2 X 125 Ah lithium batteries, but includes dedicated alternator for fast charging. I have no idea what they provide or expect owner to do if optional rooftop A/C is purchased.

The base Winnebago EKKO system is a middle ground in that it has one large lithium battery but also keeps a small generator that can power A/C for extended periods and or charge the battery. It also has a lot of solar. It seems like a good compromise to keep cost down while providing significant capabilities.
