Ford Transit Class C Motorhomes At The Flying J

After pulling into the parking lot at the Flying J this morning, I spotted two Class C RVs on Ford Transit chassis.

There were two of them parked next to each other. They were Coachmen Class C motorhomes. Since these were the first ones I've seen, I took some photos of them. They were in transit from the factory in Elkhart, Indiana.

As it happened, the transport drivers (a man and a woman) were seated at the table next to ours and we struck up a conversation about the Ford Transit chassis.

The drivers like the economy of them and how they handled on the road. They said they are very comfortable and have "plenty of cubbyholes" for storage. They're taking them to the Port Hueneme, California to be shipped to Korea for the European market. That seems to be "the long way around the barn".

The only complaint one of the drivers had was the sink and faucet is right next to the corner queen bed. There's no barrier to keep water from splashing on the blankets at the foot of the bed. At least the Minnie Winnie 22r has the stove/oven and refrigerator/freezer in-between the faucet and the bed.

The Transit chassis is not as big as the E-350 (what I have) and the E-450 Ford chassis. There's not as much "drag" against the wind as are with the Class Cs on E-350/E-450, they said.
