Coaches with Chevrolet engines
Hi guys, I’m looking at high end Class C’s. I know that Forest River class C’s offer the Chevy platform. Are there others?

Larger Class Cs have moved exclusively to the Ford chassis. Since higher-end C's tend to larger, you won't find much on the Chevy. Coachmen offers one Premier floorplan on the 260DS floorplan only. All other plans are exclusive to the Ford. The Forester Classic is available only with the 2501TS and 2861DS plans on the Chevy. Other fancier makers are Ford only across the board, like Entegra and Coachhouse. The Jayco Grayhawk Prestige is Ford only as well.
FWIW - My sister has a 2020 Forester on the Ford E450 chassis. It handles great, tracks well regardless of conditions, is quiet, and the floor doesn't get hot. They must be using the upgraded doghouse now (previously this only went into passenger vans) and the exhaust manifolds have heat shields I haven't seen before. Probably used formerly only on the Ambulance package. Anyways... miles ahead of the 2015 I drove last....
