Big difference between two MH
I just drove a 2010 Fleetwood Southwind 32V and a 2013 Tiffin Allegro 31SA. What a BIG difference in the way both handled. Here's the difference I noticed: Fleetwood - was so easy to turn, steering...

One difference in your comments. The Chevy chassis you mentioned is really a Workhorse. They used the 8.1L chevy engine and Allison Transmission. There is a differece in handling. The Workhorse is not being made anyore so if you like that it will have to be a used one. We have a Workhorse and love it. We have had a Dodge MH '76, Ford E350 '89, '96 Pace Arrow Chevrolet P 30 and the current Workhorse. This is our best.
Keep in mind that WH continued building the P30 chassis for quite a few years after obtaining this chassis from Chevy in 99 and it never did have an Allison transmission. It did incorporate both the GM 4L80E and the 4L85E before they discontinued it, in favor of the W chassis.
As a side note, Chevy did build a rare P12 chassis with a solid beam front axle and an Allison transmission that didn't have a parking pawl either, so it did have the auto park system like many others. I have no knowledge of this chassis ever being bought by WH, although it probably should have.
