My wife and I are looking to do a full-time RV / campervan tour in a few years to hit the remaining National Parks on our list and a whole host of other cool places.

12-16 foot box trucks are on the list of possibilities. After converting the interior of our Astro van I'm very interested in the straight 90-degree corners in a box truck vs. the endless contours of a van.

As far as an electric RV - I just don't see it. Those electric Class 4-5 trucks are meant for local deliveries with city ranges of 80-100 miles. I doubt you would get 75 miles driving 55 mph and that would be drawing the batteries down to SOC levels that would degrade long term health. For someone that want to live in an RV to save money on housing it could work but I don't see touring in one.
