A Boxer Engine In A Class C??? Yes/No?
So all you gear heads out there, could you imagine a Boxer engine powering a B+, Class C, or Super C Motor Home? You'll probably say no, but before you nix that idea, check out the FORD 2017 F-150 wit...

During WWII, German bombers would go 6,000 miles to Brazil with these motors and at that time, no other airplane could achieve that!
The young man in the video was pretty believable and he mentioned this more than once. But it turns out he's wrong, unless all the Wikipedia articles I read are wrong. Only one German bomber used that Junkers Jumo opposed piston diesel, and it had a range of less than 1000 miles. German bombers that could fly 6000 miles didn't exist in WW2, and that's a good thing since my grandparents would have likely seen them in the skies over the east coast. There was a Junkers prototype heavy bomber with a 6000 mile range, but only 2 were ever built and it used radial engines like most heavy aircraft of the day.
My point to this is if the ancedotal references this guy is making are incorrect, in my mind it makes everything else in the video suspect. I find the technology fascinating, but time will tell.
