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.

Yes they do! As no other American Made Cutaway can offer.
As shown here. Great combo for driveability AND mileage.
Express Cutaway 4500

Interesting video also.
Seems to me that you missed the question - Duramax for Class C motorhomes. I don't see that either the 3500 or 4500 is offered with the Duramax for a Class C. Is that the case.?
I'm somewhat familiar with the Duramax use in motorhomes have had a Kodiak Super C and also being the owner of the Yahoo Kodiak Class C Group. I've heard no mention in the Group of a Duramax being available in a Class C chassis at this time. Note that the specs for the Duramax in these links indicate a lot less HP and torque than the Duramax engines used in the Kodiak before GM discontinued its MDT line.
Ford put its diesel in a Class C cutaway and I believe one of the last to use it was Triple E. Only problem, IMO, was it was also a low HP and low torque unit.
Using the higher rated Duramax (as used in the late Kodiak line) in a 4500 would likely be an excellent combo - the question is why isn't it offered? I think it would be a big seller.
