That's a pretty healthy GVWR (27,000#). Wonder what kinda mileage they will be reporting.

Looks like a very nice option but I would like to see the prices on this chassis compared to the FRED or gassers.

I wished you could point to it without PDF, I have dial up and have to be to the doctor in an hour.

Both Winnebago and Fleetwood built prototype coaches on the ecoFred, but I don't know if you can order a coach built that way. Buying a chassis with no coach body is not an attractive option. And pricing was never mentioned by either coach builder or FCCC.
