Wanted something 30ish feet to fit it some smaller campgrounds with the 8.1 Chevy and Allison.  Happy so far:

No where near as nice as some of the other RV’s. But it’s been good for our family. 2003 Fleetwood Southwind 33ft on a Workhorse W22 chassis with the 8.1 & Allison trans.

A few weeks ago we had a front tire blow out at 65mph while towing. Scary ride, but never lost control. The tire did quite a bit of damage, but not as much as it could of been. Insurance claim filed and parts on order. Hoping it goes in the shop in Jan. Should be a 3 week repair. While it’s in getting the insurance repairs done, I’m going to have new front brake rotors & pads put on. I saw heat cracks in the rotors. Replace a window day/night shade that is messed up, and anything else we find. I’m also going to talk about adding a front axle track bar and maybe a real sway bar to make it drive better.

check out https://www.ultrarvproducts.com/ for chassis parts/upgrades. They were great to work with when I had my Kodiak-super C and did a bunch of suspension work to it including front and rear track bars, sway bars, Koni shocks, etc.

8.1 and an Allison is a super bad ass combo for a gasser, and somewhat hard to find!

Yes I like the 8.1/Alison combo, and that’s why I’m in no hurry to look at something else. If & when we do, it will be a few years old, and it will have to have that new Ford V8 Godzilla engine in it. I’m told that's the gas engine to get if buying a new gas RV. 
 

I also think if Ford would do the new Diesel engine in a gas RV chassis would be awesome. I’m not sure why they don’t, but I’m sure there is a reason they don’t.
