=?iso-8859-1?Q?[GMCnet]_Re:_Electric_RV=E2=80=99s?=

I think that the best setup would be a Hybrid.
Engine that is big enough to go 70 mph on the level and charge batteries.
Enough batteries to add power for the longest steepest mountain roads.
While camping the engine can keep the batteries charged.
240v and CCS-CHAdeMO fast charging.
Get rid of the propane, roof AC, generator and that old 455 and transmission.
Add a modern front wheel hybrid drive, two in wheel motors on the front bogie wheels.
Modern electric heat pump, induction stove.


Anyhow this is what I'd like to see.

I do drive a Volvo XC-40 recharge and am more than happy with it.
One pedal driving is the balls.
I herd that Porsche may be coming out with an electric Boxster in the next few years and when they do my gas one is history.

I like eliminating the propane and using induction cooking.

You could fit up to 8 400 watt solar panels on a 26 ft. coach.

The weight problem of adding a 100kv range extender, generator, and its
fuel along with a 75kwh battery pack would need to be solved.

You could charge at camp sights with a 240 volt 50 amp service.

You would probably drive 75 to 100 miles before the range extender was
needed. If you knew you would need the extender, it could be started after
about 25 miles.
This would be the equivalent of the BMW I3 on steroids with solar panels.

Solar wouldn't do you much good where we are today. 300 miles North of the
45th parallel. 39° Farenheit and a close cloud cover. Haven't seen the sun
here since Wednesday.
Sunny Arizona? Perhaps it have some value. But, I have to drive 300
miles south of where we are presently in Anacortes, Washington by Sunday
evening to prepare for a Doctor's appt. tomorrow. Don't think it will be
very effective here. But, time will tell, I guess.

Mghamms,

Why do you want to stick with all that iron/plastic age stuff?
As long as you are doing all that, make some worthwhile changes....
Make the whole thing a monocoque vacuum molded of epoxy and carbon fibre and assembled with frame of similar structure.
Why stick with 6 wheels? Make it 8 and all with regenerative braking and active anti-lock.
You can either make them all torsion bar or give up a little interior room and make them all struts. My 95 Honda has rear struts and the truck is
still good.
You could controllable damping struts like my 87 T'coupe and and for a little more, you can make them do you active leveling.
Because you will want the whole front for the battery bank, put the diesel in the back under the queen walk around. Either a Hall-Scott or Cummins
buss engine (the lying on the side version could fit under there just fine. You can leave the fuel and black tanks where they are....
Sounds like a good plan to me.

Matt

My first wife Mary's grandmother, who was the daughter of a Circuit Rider
preacher, kept a journal as a young girl. My wife Mary had that journal
handed down to her. In that journal, she described a trip from the Oregon
Coast to Sister's, Oregon on the eastern slope of the cascades. The trip
was with a team of horses and a buckboard wagon. What we can drive today in
3 hours, took them over 2 months. So, if you are using horses, count me out.

It's gonna be the commercial vehicle people who work this out.

Amazon is buying 100,000 vans from Rivian. fleet vehicle managers everywhere are looking at the math and watching for the range to get to a place
where it works for them.

Urban delivery fleets will be first and it will expand out from there.

I believe the hybid would be better for multiple reasons:
Power always available for all needs.
Loosing the Onan and propane.
Less need for batteries.

Speaking of electric delivery vehicles, nothing new there, really.

I grew up in the UK when milk was delivered door-to door every day. The entire country had massive fleets of 3-wheel electric "milk floats" delivering
crates of milk in glass bottles. Apparently there are still some updated ones in use today.

I grew up during WW II and our milk was delivered

In the winter (northern NY state) the product would

I remember going to a farm with my grandmother to buy bottled unhomogenized milk and spooning the heavy thick cream off the top for our berries.
Anyone remember the glass bottle milk vending machines?

Not just in NY: Also in central GA, the milk froze in the bottles and rose
out the top.

Even after the horse-drawn milk wagons were replaced, Buck Ice Co.
delivered the ice for our ice boxes with mule-drawn red wooden wagons
loaded with 200# blocks from which they ice-picked our 25# orders. Those
ice boxes and kerosene stoves didn't go away until the '50's for us "po
folks". "The good old days." :-)

> How about just going with a horse?

Mike,

That remark fired a memory. I have some great stories and all I had to do was been there and then remember them. (That is getting tougher.)

This is from when I was "the kid" aka ferret in a shipyard when we lived on the east coast.

At a break of some nature, the real ship builders were sitting around and talking about the cars that they had owned. All those famous makers like
Essex, Pope and Nathan. They were talking about the repairs they had made on the road. I won't even go there now, because that was too much to
absorb. During a lull, I looked up (this brilliant ~10yo) an asked if those cars were so hard to keep going, how did they ever take over from
horses??

One of the really old guys, probably in his 40s, looked at me and shook his head a little and replied, "You never put up with a horse, did yah kid??"

In the UK back when I was a kid, you had 3 grades of delivered milk - silver, red, or gold foil-tops. Silver was probably around 2% with cream on top,
red was maybe 3.25% (later Homogenized) and gold was Jersey milk, so loads of cream.

Didn't matter what you bought, the tinfoil caps were no match for sparrows who could peck through and have a few sips before you woke up in the
morning. Pretty rare to open the door to find an un-pecked bottle!

Tom,

Thanks for the links.

The Purdue part is interesting, but they seem to have forgotten that cars like Tesla have to cool the batteries when charging too. So, unless the
graphine capacitors come on line real soon, we still have some bridges to cross.

You’d have to be brain dead to buy anything electric from GM. The worlds worst EV Auto manufacturer.
I am a GM guy, if they were built in the 60’s LOL

I achieved brain dead back in my early 20’s. GM for sure has had their challenges but I guess we’ll see how well their next platform does in the
coming years. Looks like their design scope was a bit broader this time and their new battery design sounds interesting. Anyhow, we see how things
develop. Found something here on range extenders that might fit into GM’s multiple platform format. It new and needs more RD but was interesting.
