Class c diesel or gas handeling

[Bvending]

I’m looking at purchasing a new jayco class c 25’
I was most interested in what handles better and is more enjoyable to drive
Mercedes diesel or the ford f450 chassis


Thanks

X 3 on the Chevy chassis, mine handles great.......Bruce

Having owned all 3, I prefer the Sprinter and Express van rides and handling to the Ford.

Or you could look for one on a Chevy Chassis

There you would get better handling and comfort than a Ford, more drivers compartment room than a Ford.

At a much lesser cost than one on a Mercedes diesel and as for service and parts the Ford or Chevy based RV will cost you much less and be more available.

I have a older sprinter 2007 and it has seat belts at the table and the couch. they have way more leg room in the drivers seat. and I can go from coach to drivers seat with ease . I,m 6ft 1in and 230 #. and it handles just fine. drive one before you make your buy, all so gets twice the mpg.

What are the payload numbers on these two?

The Sprinter normally handles better, but a any of the 24+ Sprinter coaches, especially the full-slide models, may be close to GVWR empty. In this case, an E450 may handle better. Enojoyable to drive is subjective. The E350 is more truck-like, but has way more power, far bigger brakes, and a smarter transmission. The Sprinter is more car-like, and also has a roomier cab.

BTW - those 24+ Sprinter coaches only have 2 seatbelts, because they don't have enough payload for more occupants.

I suggest driving both, and checking the yellow factory weights and CCC sticker on any unit you are interested in.
