GM GVWR/GCWR chassis/powertrain questions
Starting to do my research here, but it seems very few people ask the questions that I do. I'm indifferent to class A vs class C, I'm after something no bigger than 25' and I'm sure either can accomod...

25' is the big end of what I'm after, if I can get a shorter one I'm OK with that too especially if it makes the ass end shorter. The impression I'm getting is that these are not overbuilt, rather quite the opposite. Most of what I'm looking at are on 1 ton frames, aren't they? Is it fair to say that most of the 450/4500 chassis are used on Super C's and thus are also equally near their GVWR before a trailer? I saw on some of the older ones that as you get down near the 20' mark, you run the risk of getting a small block engine. I know more rear overhang will make towing worse, GVWR/GCWR notwithstanding. Should I be looking at a small class A instead? Are those typically built on heavier frames than a similarly sized class C?
