What happened to Chevy???
I was looking for a 2015 class A gasser & after checking several brands it seems that they only come with the Ford chassis... What gives?

I know this ancient history, but actually there was a time that Chrysler was the only Class A chassis manufacturer. Back in the 1970s and until the first time Chrysler almost went bankrupt, the Chrysler chassis was the only one available for RV's. I believe the reason that they got out of the business was that part of the government aid at that time, they were directed to drop that line because it was too volatile.
Then Chevrolet came along next with their chassis. Their big claim to fame was that they had an independent front suspension compared to Chrysler/Dodge's solid beam axle. After Chrysler left the scene, another manufacturer came along that offered a chassis much like an updated Chrysler chassis. It's claim to fame was that it had a solid beam axle!!!! (the name of this manufacturer slips my mind - getting old)
