Which is better a ford or a Chevy motorhome?
My previous Motorhome was on a 02 Ford V10 chassis, the current is a 05 Workhorse 8.1/Allison chassis. I was very pleased with the Ford chassis & had no problems in 40,000 miles. The Chevy/Allison chassis seems to have more power. I noticed that it down shifts less often, or later when going up inclines. I am very happy with the Workhorse chassis.

The only downside to this combination is that Workhorse no longer builds RV chassis with the Chevy engine because GM doesn’t build them anymore. Couldn’t meet emission standards.

Why do people want to buy an RV?
People who are tired are more likely to buy just to be done with all of the burdensome details and walking. I’ll make sure to show you a third RV that is way beyond your price range, just to make you think you’ve seen everything that is available.

The Chevy 454 first hit the market in the 1970s. The 454 is a big-block carbureted engine found in most older model Chevrolet cars and trucks. The engine uses eight cylinders to provide high-end torque and speeds. The combination of larger bore and eight cylinders equates to very poor gas mileage.

Is the Ford F-450 PS diesel a hot selling motor home?
The Ford F-450 PS diesel Super C is a hot selling motor home, dealers cannot keep them in stock, good luck seeing one on the lot. GM and FART should jump into the market and move some units. The Super C’s are the same sizes as small Class A’s and price ranges. The MSRP numbers of RV OEMs are even more inflated than pickup truck prices.
How much power does a 454 motorhome have?
It has great power to 4500-5000. They should be the same till like 88-89 unless its cam size or something. The only thing that really holds those motors back from more serious mods is the dismal 7.9:1 compression ratio.
What’s the compression ratio on a motorhome 454?
The only thing that really holds those motors back from more serious mods is the dismal 7.9:1 compression ratio. That really limits how far you can go with your cam choice before things start to suck pretty bad.
What should the stock cam be on a 454?
If you want to cam the stock motor I’d keep the cam under 220* duration and even at that I’d consider a higher stall converter to get you out of the lower RPM range quickly. The stock truck cam is around 190* duration, FYI. I picked a 204/214 and it helped at lot.
