Do you see anything on the U.S horizon to replace it?
So far those "modern" cutaway van whole-world type chassis being slowly forced on us in the Class C world can't handle the approximately 14,500 lb./22,000 lb. ratings needed for the larger Class C rigs. I guess that's the point .... force us into smaller rigs. Truck chassis might even be able to be all-electric some day ... so future heavy weight chassis could still be easy on Mother Earth and her atmosphere.
However, my Class C motorhome approach will soon be impossible when the E450 and 4500 go away: We wanted a small Class C, but built on a big Class C chassis for more margin in some if it's design and construction areas. IMHO ... For optimum longevity and reliabiliy buy a heavy duty product but use it in a light duty way. A 24 foot Class C on an E450 chassis is just that.
