Up to a Class C???

Lot of trade offs in both directions. Will really have to think on this.


Thor has two identical models built on F550 chassis with Diesel engine. Dynamax has the isata5 built on dodge 5500 chassis with Cummins engine.
Both are class C, both can be purchased with 4X4 if you wish.

Too many confuse class C with the box truck chassis like the E350 and E450 and as I understand it they are louder inside given the high revving gas engines under the dash.

I’m going for the diesels above given every time I read about the E-models I see them needing many “improvements” right off the lot.
Suspension, tuners, etc.

Oh, and some dork on here jumped on me for calling the Thor and Dynamax mentioned above “super-C’s”. Don’t make that mistake even though magazines and other publications call them super-C’s.

There is some validity to this comment. But the right class C (actually a B+) is quiet. We own the B+ pictured which is quite aerodynamic, hence no notable wind noise at all.

BTW: Is it just me? When I click on posting a picture or website, the pop-up window flickers and disappears. It has been happening for a couple weeks now.
