Coach House RV Feedback

We currently have a Dynamax 340 and are considering downsizing. One coach that looks interesting is the 261XL from Coach House. This coach is based upon a Ford E450 cutaway chassis. While I have talked to the sales folks I would appreciate feedback from current and past owners of their products. I would especially like to know about its ride quality, effects from wind and passing trucks, whether the coach drags on inclines, and comments on the hot water heating system. the hot water system is primarily heated by the coach engine with electric backup. How does this work when dry camping? Additionally, any other comments would be appreciated. We live in California and frequently drive in the mountains and in gusty winds.

Thanks.

    We looked at them before we got the class C that we have now. They seem to be well made, but we were concerned about the lack of a dealer network, very little storage, and only a 1 year warranty.

    And of course, the COST! :-)

    If you look at units on the new (late 2015 and early 2016) E450 Ford Chassis, they come with the 6 speed transmission, It makes all the difference in the world! It's quieter, doesn't shift anywhere as much, and on our last trip to Florida, we got over 11 MPG>
