7.3 Ford vs 6.0 Chevy cockpit room
Has anyone bought a new Ford Chassis or sat in one to compare the cockpit space compared to the Chevy chassis? Does the 7.3 engine have a smaller dog house than the V-10?

Do you think the weight was distributed better front to rear on the Chevy because of the weight of the slide? I noticed your previous Ford was a non slide.
I had an E350 class C. A 28A as I recall. I had spent a fair amount of money on it to get it to handle right on the road and not scream (5Star tune ($500)) up small hills.
The selling dealer let me take my current rig 180 miles, round trip, to my mechanic for inspection. Now I was pre-sold on the layout. But the drive in strong cross winds and trucks passing me sold me on the stock Chevy chassis. Along with the ease of getting into the house from the driver’s seat.
Btw, I only buy used. My current camper had 40k on it when I bought it. The previous Ford had 25k on it when I traded it in.
