My neighbor has a big ol class A and he offered some interesting feedback.
He loves his rig, but he was told that the bus looking class A's are pretty hard on their transmissions. They are designed to hold a bus load of people, but when you finish adding all the "stuff" inside a typical class A, they end up heavier than a bus load of people at all times. The chassis can handle the load, but the tranny was not meant to be that loaded at all times.
My understanding is that a Super C built on something like a Peterbilt or Freightliner chassis (like a Dynamax) has a drivetrain intended to handle heavy loads their whole lives and makes for lower long term cost of ownership. Are there any Super C owners around who can comment on that?
