I would think some Class C and many Class B owners would be affected by this. I'm trying to guess what the fix is going to do to the performance, MPG, etc.

Thanks to all who responded. I will check tires, alignment and air bags to see if I can get a safer feeling ride at higher speeds.

My 2005, 2004 Chevy chassis, is rated by Thor as GVWR 12,300# and GCWR 17,000#. I have been towing Subarus since it was new, 3,100#-3,200#, with no problems.

Yes, those are the numbers reported by Winnebago for specs of one of their C Minnie Winnies.
The 15,800 GCWR could leave one with a very minimal selection of toads. From what I could see Forest River/Coachmen and Thor are no longer using the 3500 and that is likely the reason. The 4500 makes more sense if one wants a GM chassis.

They had the Chevy chassis at 12,300 GVWR and the Ford at 10,700 lbs. The only reason I wrote that was because of the comment about the Ford frame being tougher than the Chevy. That could be true today. Things do change. :BGene in NE wrote:Boy, that must have been a few years ago. I'll bet it was way back when good old one-ton dually pickups were rated only in that range, too.
The Ford E350 was at 10,700 lbs for a while.
