Class C with Chev engine--Good or ?
We are looking for a fairly new used C about 26'. Saw one today, Gulfstrem BT Cruiser with a chev. Saw others with Ford 450, I think. Others of interest are Winn Access and Jayco Greyhawk. ...

Agree with you, Gene. We drove into Sequoia National Park a couple years ago. The Subaru climbed the access road with ease. We were sitting at an overlook when I heard a chugging engine come up the road. It was an old Lazy Daze, I'll guess around 25-ft, making no more than 25MPH up the grade. Next time we saw the coach it was broken down coming out of the park entrance station. I wouldn't want the lack of power that chassis demonstrated.
We have a 5.7 in our 21-ft boat and yes, bulletproof. But I wouldn't want it in a 29-ft boat. That engine should be good in a lighter coach, and Gene's 9,000# is a good example. Our first Class C had a 460 Ford and weighed about 11,500#. A little less might have been OK, but not much less.
Looking at a 2009, Chevy engine would be 6.0 and I think it'd word out well in the size coach she's looking at.
