We have a 2014 Newmar Canyon Star 3610 on an upgraded Ford V10 26,000 pound chassis. Our weight is about 20400 pounds not including passengers and things we have packed. So far we have about 10,000 miles on it and have had no issues with the MH or the chassis. It drives great, tracks well, does not sway or get pushed around by the wind or big rig trucks. The engine has plenty of power and does well both up/downhill on the big grades. So far we have averaged 8mpg. We have gotten as low as 6.5mpg when climbing a lot of grades(6% type), and as high as 10mpg on a long flat highway with a little tailwind. We frequently get 9-9.5mpg when filling up, but can really count on 8 mpg as a rule.

Just rolled over 38,000 miles. Yeah that's only 4750 a year...we gotta' get out more 
2007 Workhorse W24 (8.1L / 6 speed Allison) carrying a Class A Toy Hauler.
UVW from the factory was just over 18K and we carry an average amount of stuff (plenty of room for more, but surely not empty)...but have carried over a half ton in the garage on occasion (rated for 2500lb).
No issues with any of the chassis pieces and parts (knock wood) - and always did DIY oil changes (so easy).
Safe travels

If we all could get the box that sits on the chasis and everything inside to be as reliable as the drive trains then we would really be a bunch of happy campers.

1999 Safari Trek. Bought from original owner with 52,000 miles in 2009. Currently 81,000 miles. GM/Chevrolet 454 (7.4L) gas engine chassis. Overdrive transmission, 19.5 in tires. 4- wheel disc brakes.
Maintenance: New Michelin tires, serpentine belt, spark plugs, air filter, rotten green switches for the autopark parking brake, furnace circuit board, variable speed house water pump.
Additions: secondary transmission cooler, rear panhard bar, supplementary front spring, Scangauge, Fumoto engine oil drain valve, New Onan generator in 2013, but that had nothing to do with the chassis.
Conclusion. This is our second Trek, and we love it. Safari constructed a high quality unit and it shows as it ages.

1997 Thor Residency - 36,000 miles with the Ford chassis and 460 engine. 34k miles were put on by the original owner. We have only put on about 2k in 2 years. LOTS of close camping trips.
The only problem we've had so far is that the MH loves to drink lots and lots of gas!!

2003 Winnebago 35U Workhorse 8.1
23,000 miles with no issues. This year we retire so I expect we will put on a lot more. Plenty of power and it starts and runs like a champ. Of course with this few miles it is just broke in.
