Who's building on Ram 4500 or 5500 Chassis

Is their any one else besides Forest Rivers Dynamax 5 series that is building a class C on the Ram chassis? Test drove one and with in the first 2 miles fell in LOVE with the performace and handling! Going to sell my 2016 ACE to buy one. But the wife's not impressed with the small kitchen. That's why we ended up with the 30.1 ACE. Large counter top and good usable cook space. Yes we still like cooking and baking! Went to Dynamax and did the factory tour and basically was told there's no custom building because there's a seven mnth build time as it is. Has anyone heard of any other coach builder or can refer me to a "True Custom Builder". I'll order my own Ram, Thanks Mark

Dynamax is the only one I know, and from what I read, they sell like hot cakes.

Born Free RV made them if used is OK.

The oddball Host will pop up now and again but those are more permanently mounted truck camper than Class C

Thor Four Winds will be on a F550 chassis. (Depending on your position on Thor...)

Lots of guys will build you one on a Class 7 or 8 chassis...Showhauler, Renegade, etc. The stock Renegades won’t be much of a step up in price from a Dynamax, IIRC. I mean if you want to stay in a Cummins power train...

Thanks for everyone's input. Living in Indiana close to Elkhart I have check with Thor and Phoenix Cruiser but both didn't see the advantage. I said HELLO here this is a real truck not a van that has no leg room. I also want it in a 4X4. Yes Freight Liner uses Cummings but if you drive the two that Ram 5500 with a 488 rear gear can pull, clime and rides like my 3/4 ton does. I will check with Renegade tomorrow. Again I could by the Dynamax, the factory is clean and workers look like they're professionals, beside color their real is no option or willingness to listen to suggestion that might be beneficial to them. Just my opinion. Mark
