A very different take on a Class C
Notice it is a Cabover Japanese MDT not available in the US, neither is the toad Pickup Truck. Body is different. Pickup Truck has a 4.5litre V8 Diesel.

I've long thought that the smaller diesel cabover MDT's would make a great chassis for a Class C with some capacity, decent fuel mileage, reliability, and ease of driving.
I've thought though, that it'd be more of a Truck Camper, since my understanding was a "motor-home" had to have the cockpit accessible from the living quarters.
Is that what everybody still thinks? I remember cars called "Hardtop Convertible" where the top didn't fold, come off, or whatever. But no Center Post, no Window Frames. Then GM re-defined it. OK to have a center post and windows, just frame-less door windows.
Anyhow, I would give up a cut-away cab-chassis to keep a more solid small motor-home.
And, Robert, I like the vehicles and RV's you have Down There. The pickup you just pictured bears that out. Function over Form. Here in USA, it's all about Form...
It is not a small diesel. 8.8 litre or a 9.8litre. Par for the course for Japanese MDT's here
The vehicle shown in this photo and with right hand drive has been pulling a test trailer loaded with weights around Southern California for over a year now. It has plates from Michigan on it and a DOT code associated as a manufacturer. Also seen a bob tail type box truck with the same markings. I see it so frequently that my wifey even noticed it. Sometimes there is a passenger on a laptop, maybe monitoring performance. Anyone have any ideas on that. I saw him as far North as I-5 pulling the grapevine out of Bakersfield. They have vinyl covers as to hide the identity of the maker.
