If you had a do-over, which would you get?
Honestly, if you could do it again would you go for a Mercedes diesel or a Ford V10?

"And a 2 gallon larger Fuel tank and a much better ride,handling and more room."
Not necessarily...
There are too many ways to modify {and hopefully improve} the ride and handling of a Class C to make a blanket statement that the Chevy has a better ride and handling. More room {a couple of inches} I will give you {but unless you are over 6' tall or the first number when you get on the scale is larger than one you really gain nothing} but it comes at a cost. The standard Chevy mechanically {limited} adjusted seat is a torture rack on a good day.
The Ford, electrically powered driver's seat found on many/most of the Ford Class C chassis' is infinitely adjustable making long days behind the wheel a piece of cake. Performance between the two is more alike than different with the Ford V-10 bringing more torque to the equation which is what gets you up and down the mountain. If towing or loading heavy get the V-10.
Mileage is such a subjective thing given all of the variables claiming an across the board improvement of 1 mpg... seriously? :h
Not sure about the allegedly larger fuel tank but with 55 gallons on my Ford I don't see much benefit in 2 more gallons. I always try and drive on the top half of the tank and never let it get below one-quarter of a tank to ensure I will always be able to run my generator.
Most of us love what we have or we would not have it, such is life. Want a fun on the road game? Try counting Chevy chassis' vs Fords {and don't forget all of the Paramedic ambulances, rental car shuttles, commercial trucks on a cutaway chassis' etc. } Give bonus points for spotting a Chevy {it only seems fair}.
LMAO!
