FWIW, Coach House is right-on by exclusively using the Ford E450 chassis on all models of their Explorer Platinum Class B+ line. (They have other model lines on the Mercedes 3500 chassis.)

With this, you of course get such things as:
1. A chassis that can be serviced all over the U.S..
2. Big brakes that can go a long time between needing new pads because of the chassis versus coach weight overkill.
3. A large fuel tank that provides for hours of built-in generator use for air conditioning in hot weather and a travel range of around 500 miles or more.
4. Fuel available everywhere in even the smallest of podunk towns.
5. A huge capacity cab heating/aircon sustem that can maintain temperatures throughout the entire coach while traveling.
6. A main engine that can be very quietly idled for hours to charge the coach batteries quickly in noise-sensitive situations when solar can't do it.
