I understand if the 5500s are having issues from upfitter short cuts, but fail to understand what makes a cutaway van build inherently better than a med duty truck build.
The answer is nothing. Not that 4x4 vans aren’t super cool. But IF you want 4wd, diesel and a class C, the 550/5500 chassis vehicles are the option, not an option.
There’s zero credibility to them having bad electronics or weak alternators or whatever other suppositions you can make up.
If the RV mfgs have quality or design issues that is one thing, but it’s not the trucks.
