Several manufacturers in the U.S. past and present include Tiger, Host, Frank Industries, Serro Scotty use or have used a conventional cab chassis. That's not including athe motorhomes on trucks in the 16,000 to 80,000 pound range, which would be Super C's, toterhomes, excursion vehicles or truck conversions.

These are not really pickup based. They are almost always built on cab-chassis, class 2, 3, or 4, which now often have a different frame aft of the cab, compared to a Class 1 passenger vehicle pickup.

Smallest non-Toyota was probably the Serro Scotty built on a Dodge Dakota, and that one would have been a pickup stripped down to the chassis.

Here is still another manufacturer - Xplorer. The website is still maintained, but believe manufacturing stopped at least 5 years ago. There are some used ones out there.

That would be closer to the type of base payload, 3200-3300, 8000lb towing before being converted tow a Motorhome
