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...

If there's an appropriate chassis with one, it might happen. I don't think there's anything inherent in a boxer engine vs. a V or inline engine that would make it especially suitable or unsuitable for motor home duty. Small aircraft have used boxer engines for eons, and that's hardly light duty operation (cruising for hours on end at 75% power).
Yes but small general aviation air cooled aircraft engines are generally detuned to limit the power output to about a half horsepower per cubic inch. Any more than that is generally severely time limited and must run substantially rich under load. Not all aircraft engines are that way but most are.
