I was looking at motor homes at the Foretravel dealer in TENN, Alcoa?, and saw a unit across the lot and the saleslady said it was a 2003 or so on a Ford chassis. I mentioned that the wheels looked awfully tiny for a 1999 or newer chassis and sure enough it had the 16 inch wheels. there were several years different between chassis and body. some yearly changes are important, some not.

I suspect she was a bit off on the coach year on that one. The last 16" wheeled F53 chassis was the 1997 with the 460 V8 engine. The 1999's came with 19.5's and the Triton V10. There were no 1998 F53's.
yep. don't see where we disagree at all. it was built on a pre 1999 ford chassis with 16 inch wheels. but the model year of the motorhome was several years into the 1999 chassis vintage.
