Very Nice! Wouldn't you know they would put the 1st all electric power plant, in the biggest, heavyset, Class A they could find...
Now if they dropped that system into a sub 25,000lbs Class A/C, they would get much more interest, not to mention a nice MPG bump for the papers.....I suppose they were trying to make a point with the size...

The ERV would have gone straight to production if only they consulted the nice folks at Endless-Sphere 1st.... :wink:

Who else can afford that? For a guy buying a $500,000 motor coach, another $200,000 for a pile of lithium is nothing. Be funny to see the guy at the campground when he sees the next electric bill after that thing spends the night. WTH? How'd the bill double this month! ? :x How come this space's RV plug melted? :x :lol:

For those with less money, Oatnet was on the right track with his headway powered VW van.

Marathon have been making 2 million dollar coaches for several years.

Here is a 17 year old one for $750,000

Interesting, but like SoMoney mentioned, probably more to show they could than anything else. ...I hate to think about how much that pack must cost though...must be huge!

I am sure the EV motorhome sell brand new cost over a million dollars tag for sure!

estimated to be between $750,000 and $1 million when it finally lands in a showroom.

I'm guessing thats a typo...its a 2004 model thus 7 years old not 17... Man i wish
i had that sort of money could see myself behind the wheel of one of them traveling around OZ.

AJ;
I'd be proud to write it off as a typo, but without Excel my numbers never come out right. That is just dumb math that I should be able to do without taking off my shoes when I run out of fingers.

A drunken Marathon salesman once told us the only reason they built a $2,000,000 RV was to give bragging rights to a rich idiot. Maybe true? Sure as heck not
