Class C that's easy to fix?

I am DIY person and looking for a class C that's easy to fix, by that I mean it has a truck-like, easily accessible engine bay. Think F250 engine bay and you got it. I had an older F250HD and everything was accessible, spark plugs were no issue at all. One could do water pump, belts, mostly anything. Now I never got inside the motor nor did any tranny work. I mean situations where the radiator hose bursts in the middle of nowhere, or a belt.

I get concerned about these van-type designs where repairs become considerably more difficult. As half the engine is not accessible.
  • The engine in the Chevy Express cut away is very accessible to plugs and top engine work once the dog house is removed (very easy to do).

    Front engine work is doable just on your back underneath rather than on knees from above.
