Frustrated Chevy buyer
Why do Mfrs. seem to shy away from building on the Chevy? Is it cost? I'm frustrated trying to find our next B+ so equipped. I have been very pleased with my '06 Chevy chassis under our 30+ foot B+...

I asked the Forest River rep on the the FR Sunseeker forum about pricing. At retail, the Chevy 4500 is $1500 less than the E350, and $4500 less than the E450.
I believe that is just the cost of the bare chassis. Once the frame modifications are made, the Chevy probably becomes more expensive due to the reasons I mentioned in my previous post. The liability assumed for having your own design is not cheap to insure. Ford's QVM-18 was written as a result of a failed chassis extension on a limo, and by having those guidelines it makes it easier/cheaper/safer for the Ford chassis to be modified.
