It bothers me that the C's we have, at least the Fords, are "Motorhome Prep Package." That's things like power windows, cruise, bright grille added, things like seats and mirrors deleted. There's more adds and drops than that list but you get the idea: They KNOW what's going on that chassis. I agree with all the others: RV Chassis should roll off assembly line with some upgraded chassis parts.
Our coaches may have a lot of weight mounted low, but "low" is often on a raised platform that allows for basement storage. Overall height is much greater. Then the rear overhang noted above. Toad affects handling and tracking too. We probably run much closer to max CVWR, too...
I think there's another factor: We operate in a different envelope. More long runs on the open road than most local delivery cube vans. I think we also have higher expectations...!!!
