IMHO, a real frame versus unibody construction is a deal breaker with respect to carrying around a loaded RV coach on - and sometimes off - typical U.S. roadways.
Unibody is cheaper to produce, but skimping that way on vehicles intended to be used on long trips (as opposed to urban delivery use) in "heavily loaded truck type applications" - like RVs - is not how I would want to spend my money. I'm aware of all the strength-of-materials arguments against unibody strength fears - but use of them for trucks just does not sit right w/me.
