That is not a big deal with Cabovers or Pusher Class A Motorhomes it is the other aspects of the design that is appealing. Try working on a modern vehicles engine[emoticon]

As you have never seen a Cabover Motorhome based on a Japanese or European Light to HeavyTruck chassis. I think I would definitely need a new thread explaining - Grit_dogNavigator

Didn't say they needed "more" maintenance...just that a cab over that can flip up out of the way makes maintenance much easier as you can walk up and stand next to the engine.
Grew up with vans and it was a pain getting to much of the engine.

Ruins one of the big advantages of a cab over design where you can move the cab completely clear to get great access standing next to the engine.
No Off Road Cabover Motorhomes which need more maintenance than any other Motorhome, have only a portal. Pusher Class A's have similar access.

Class C uses an existing front truck body (typically from a van) with the house custom made by the MH manufacturer.
Class A the MH manufacturer builds both the house and the cockpit enclosure all as one structure.
Looks like this one uses a cabover truck retaining the cab, so it would technically be a Class C. I assume the cab can't flip forward for easy engine access based on the pictures.
No engine access is in a portal section in the Cab like other Cabover Motorhomes
