IMHO, the type of traveling you do a Class A, will be just the ticket! I own a Winnebago 35-U it has the Big Block Chevy 8.1 Vortec with the Allison Tranny. My Chassis is the Workhorse W-22 and currently the motor and chassis are obsolete. Some people have a really big problem with that and some like me don't. I feel it's the best gasoline set up in the RV market. I say that because my prior coach was a Fleetwood gasoline powered with a V-10 Ford Trinton with an Allison Tranny and a Ford Chassis!
Are you sure about a V10 and an Allison???? That was never built.
I've owned both and prefer Workhorse 8.1. When I decide to go with a DP someday I want one with a CAT engine (and there obsolete) so that doesn't bother me there is plenty of parts still around and if I can't find a part I'll have a machine shop make me one. My big concern when buying a coach is #1 Price! Make a budget of what you can afford and stick to it! I've been thru the worst depression since the 30's and retired and haven't missed a payment due to that outlook! #2. would be a floor plan that fits your needs. #3. Engine and Tranny and lastly colors! Good luck in your search and showing your dog!
