Seems like most cutaway van frames have much unused space between the frame rails, which you could take benefit if you were considering to make a full-hybrid hybrid RV.

yeah looks like TONS of space between the rails. i like the idea of transplanting something like that - I'm just not sure about the feasibility because of weight disparity.
that got me thinking about all kinds of stuff, like hub motors in the front, transplanting motor assist like the insights have, electric motors that replace the torque converter, etc.
not sure how those fit my technical skills and budget, though.
