Class C under 30 ft. with gas engine
Can anyone tell me if there is an RV made like the Winnebago View ( a class C under 30 feet) that has a gas engine?

These do not have the View look ... but if you want superb Class C quality and good old Ford reliability and ease of finding dealers out in the middle of nowhere that can often help whenever it rarely isn't reliable ... consider one of these in one of their under-31 foot models:

These are built ONLY on the Ford E450 cutaway van chassis with the V10 gas engine and a 4:56 ratio rear differential, so in their short length Class C models the chassis is "under-loaded/under-stressed" for great overall reliability ... as well as the ability to carry about any amount of added gear weight you want to load in ... plus tow well too.
We have a discontinued Winnebago 24 foot Class C model on an E450 chassis and it has been very reliable - other than blowing it's transmission unexpectedly at around 60K miles. We had no trouble getting the transmission replaced in a hurry, locally, just before starting out on a 9000 mile trip. We cruise at 55-60 MPH and get 9-10 MPG fuel consumption.
