IYQ Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Does anyone know of a approximately 25' RV that is built on a Chevy diesel chassis. I would like your input if you have seen or heard of such an RV.

tilliepeoples Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 With nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon I did a google search .I found Ford and Dodge in that range ,but no Chevy, Most of the Class C diesel RV's were 31 + foot .Even then a lot of them had a Mercedes engine . Bill My search was for Chevy only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirakawa Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Does anyone know of a approximately 25' RV that is built on a Chevy diesel chassis. I would like your input if you have seen or heard of such an RV. IYQ If you're specifically looking for a Duramax powered unit, you can find used units in Jayco Seneca and similar models. I don't know if they are Chevy or Workhorse or something else, but I remember seeing many of them. There are also other similar built units by other manufacturers. I'm not sure you can find anything new though. Go to http://www.rvtrader.com/ and do a search for them and you can see what's available. I don't remember ever seeing anything quite that small, buy maybe. Everybody wanna hear the truth, but everybody tell a lie. Everybody wanna go to Heaven, but nobody want to die.

IYQ Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for the replys. I have a 2015 Navion on the Mercedes Diesel sprinter chassis. It seems like every time I though a switch, I wonder if something is going to break, blow a fuse or burn out a relay somewhere. The little 3.3 engine gets pretty good mileage on flat road but falls way off on a slight grade or even a slight breeze for a head wind. My Chevy truck with an engine twice as big gets nearly as good and it takes a pretty good grade or wind to make the mileage drop off. A search on the internet reveled a bunch of recalls on that engine and a lot of transmission failures. I used to think German engineering was top of the line. But this has shook my faith in them but good. The Mercedes gets about 17 mpg on open road my chevy gets 23 to 25 not pulling and 12 to 16 pulling my travel trailer that is much larger, higher and heavier than the Navion. I've been full timing since 1972 and have owned several makes of rigs. The Mercedes is the first one that makes me think I may have goofed in buying it.

trailertraveler Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Chevrolet offers the 4500 curoff motor home chassis with the Duramax engine. Coachmen offers the Chevrolet 4500 as an option in the Freelander and Leprechaun models. Hover, I could not find any references to engine options for either the Chevy or Ford chassis models.
