WOW THIS THREAD HAS TAKEN SOME WEIRD TURNS.
I started out asking about problems with Chevy Based R/Vs.
IT turned to a discussion on the mileage and merits of B+ vs Classic C, then to Mileage,Then Ford VS Chevy...
Then handleing like a sports car, then sports cars, then aqua sports in a Class C and THEN potty breaks and showers.....:@ WOW
A lot of give and take and some good info and some funny stuff....
No harsh words, all in fun,now that is why I like this Forum.
But But I gotta ask. Does anyone have anything to say about reliability of the Chevy or any real problems. If not, I'm gonna declare Chevy Based R/Vs best in the field........:W
Roomy, Quiet,Smooth Riding, Easy on Gas,and Goes straight down the road without a lot fiddleing with front end........
All documented in this thread :B
Darned if I know where you get your concerns. WE have a 2011 E450 based MH.
No problems wandering down the road - as straight as our prior unit - a Chevy Kodiak Super C with Vortec 8.1. Have had no need to make any front end adjustments. The E450 has airbags and the Kodiak did not - much better support in the rear. No nosier than our Chev Kodiak. Gets slightly better MPG than the Kodiak about 8.5 towing to 7.6 towing for the Kodiak. Tows with no problem - GCWR is 22,000 lbs as of 2011 model. Heat for co-pilot? DW says no problems and prefers it to the Chev. Gets warmer than pilot's side but not uncomfortable. No problems getting service. Chev was a problem as even our MDT dealer wouldn't touch it. Had to take it to a Workhorse Dealer. Ford dealer gave us the five oil change, filter and lube special for $99.
So, as to your declaration, I think the only plus is better mileage with the 6.0.
