Just being curious - I never hear mention of the Duramax in Chevy based Class Cs any more. I know GM offers that engine in the 1-ton vans, is it not available in the RV Cutaway chassis.
That would be a great combo for drivability AND mileage.
Sorry for the off topic post, now back to your regular programming.:B
It is available in the cut-a-way as far as I know, but not widely used in class "c"s, just like you will find very very few FORDs with at diesel. Weight was the primary issue followed by cost. Every pound the chassis weighs takes away from carrying capacity of the coach.
There was a time that Chev did not have a chassis that could be used to build the larger class "C" (not super "C") if I remember correctly the longest that was built on a Chev was 28'. I think that has now changed.
