A very different take on a Class C

I understand what you said about the MDT's like the one under the "Class C" pictured at the top of this thread.

What I was trying to express, was my thought that the "entry level" MDT's we see making deliveries, probably equivalent to F550 but diesel cabovers, would make a nice Class C. More than a Sprinter, less than a Super C.

They already do in Australiaand New Zealand
They are about 31ft long and AVIDA and Sunliner make their versions. They are bigger than the Mercedes Sprinter/ Ducato models. IVECO has one almost as long for Sunliner
Sunliner MonteCarlo

AVIDA Longreach

That unit is nice! I thought maybe the coach body was on a Cab/Chassis, but that view through the windshield says it must be a Cutaway.

Does the Cab still Tilt? I don't think I'd want anything with engine service access worse than what Ford E-Series already is. The Super C's appeal to me partly because the engine's accessible and the whole nose tips up to get at it. Hood, Fenders, Grille and All.

Not tilting , engine access through floor

It's an American style 5th wheel though, the door is on the wrong side for Australia, until it was mounted backwards on the cab and chassis.

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.

American 5th Wheelers are not the flavour of the month in Australia, so he used the body for a Class C
