F53 Horsepower rating

What's up with the HP rating on new F53 chassis motorhomes (all manufacturers)? Our 2015 Winnebago Vista is rated at 362 HP while I'm seeing the 2018 coach specs are 320. Has Ford started using the class C engines in the class A chassis (2 valve)? 42 HP is quite a drop. Torque did increased by 3 LbFt, though. Whoopie!

    My bad, went to the Ford site and it still shows the F53 with the 3 valve engine, just the lower HP rating. Too many people pushing the 362 HP engine too hard?
