I'd be interested in that, too.
When the E450 cutaway series that medium-small U.S. motorhome manufacturers use goes away, I hope that Ford has an approximately 14,500 lb. weight capacity, dually rear wheel drive replacement for it. The next size down chassis is the size Ford's bringing into their U.S. offerings, to the best of my knowledge. Also, a motorhome, with it's extreme weight bias to the rear requires rear wheel drive for best traction in the widest variety of road surface situations. Front wheel drive in a motorhome doesn't hack it, IMHO.
Our small (24 foot) Class C on the E450 chassis feels rock solid and tough - like it has a real truck under it. Some would think it's an unnecessary over-kill chassis ... I call it just right.
What Ford needs to come up with, IMHO, is a high miles-per-gallon Eco-Boost V10 for a their E450 cutaway series.
