The fact that larger RVs are available in Europe does not refute the fact that FWD works because the FWD motorhomes are small.
But larger Motorhomes 27-29ft are FWD in Europe and to a certain extent here. Yes you have smaller Motohomes based on FWD but up to 30ft can be built on FWD.
This is FWD Motorhome
So is this 27ft Ducato
30ft Burstner Elegance built on the FWD Ducato

Not in the US (linky):
The gasser will get a Chrysler 62TE, which is a hydraulic auto transmission.
The diesel model will be the Fiat MT-40 which is a completely manual transmission (no "D"), except doesn't use a clutch pedal.
No AMT offerings. Hopefully I'm wrong or misreading something.
It is a AMT They work better with a longer chassis.
with Chrysler’s engine and transmission joining Fiat’s 3-liter four-cylinder diesel and an MT-40 automated manual transmission

Should be more than one suitable offering i.e Ford for 30ft Motorhomes.

What you have in Australia does not have much to do with where the market might go in the U.S., particularly if the current EPA schedule for reduction in fuel consumption holds, and exceptions are not made for niche markets like RVs.
Well the market in the US is absorbing more Euro Vans i.e Promaster, Transit and Sprinter. So there is similarities there. Reduction in fuel consumption is part of the Agenda here as well.
