Did see a Super Duper C yesterday and then saw it again today headed for Monument Valley. European plates, 3 axles (no dualliy) and it appears to have 6 wheel drive. DW thought it was at the Arches to pump out the toilets. I had to tell her what it was - a raely seen MH in North America. Looks like it was up in Alaska earlier in the summer as someone saw it and posted a video on youtube. Had to key this in so hope it right. What a brute.

Let me see if I have the scorecard right:
Towing -> Ford
Comfort -> Chevy
Noise suppression -> Chevy
Cool doghouse -> Chevy
Gas mileage -> Chevy
Handling -> Chevy
Looks -> Chevy

Did you mean "I'd never get a C again WITHOUT airbars on the rear."?
By the way, airbags only help if enough of the motorhome's weight is on them so as to have the air in the airbags supporting some of the weight instead of the steel in the leaf springs holding all of the weight. To get airbags to do this you either:
1) Have a motorhome that's level to begin with ... and then inflate the airbags enough to start supporting some of the weight ... hence having the motorhome a sit bit high in the rear when traveling and camped.
or
2) Have a motorhome that's sagging in the rear to begin with ... and then inflate the airbags enough to level it and hence support some of the weight.
or
3) Make your motorhome like the scenario in 2) by having a shop remove rear steel leaf springs to sag it so you can then raise it back up with the airbags.
IMHO, a motorhome that starts out from the manufacturer sagging in the rear when fully loaded for RV trips was not designed/built properly ... and likewise, having a shop remove leaf springs does not sit well with me.
So I'd rather have the best of all worlds by having a motorhome riding on air but not spending a lot of $$$ to do it: After purchasing a Class C motorhome that does not sag in the rear, add airbags to it and pump them up so as to get enough weight riding on air to provide a smooth ride when traveling. But ... make sure you get the airbags installed with the auxillary electric underhood air pump, tubing system, and dash controls so that you can conveniently air them down enough when camped in order to bring the motorhome back to a level configuration. A bonus is that having an airbag system like this will also help to level the motorhome on sloping campsites without using so many wood or plastic leveling blocks being required. Before traveling again, just turn the dash control to pump up the airbags a bit for a smooth ride on the road. Not quite as good as a full-blown air suspension system ... but coming close ... with a way lot less $$$ being required! :C
