Metric Mind's AC motors are higher voltage (thinner cables), water cooled (for continuous use) and higher RPM (less shifting.) The nice thing about a hybrid RV is that you don't need a separate generator (and a full charge could supply your house power for a week.)
For a series hybrid (diesel generator powering an electric motor), I don't think you necessarily need any special instructions. It's a standard EV conversion (motor, controller, motor adapter, potbox connected to the throttle, batteries, charger, DC/DC, vacuum pump for brakes) plus a diesel generator (either off-the-shelf feeding your regular battery charger via 220V AC, or roll-your-own.) If you can figure out how much energy your RV takes just maintaining your average freeway speed, add 25% to that and try to size your generator to produce that much.
