Ford Chassis Information
Choose a motorhome built on a Ford chassis for reliability.
Known for power and durability, the Ford chassis is a popular choice for vehicles and has service located across Canada and the US. When you are travelling by motorhome this offers peace of mind as there is no need to worry about how far spread service is. Service pricing is much lower cost than a comparable Mercedes-Benz or diesel pusher motorhome chassis.

Towing
Forest River’s Sunseeker was the first class c brand on the market to work with Ford and introduce the 7,500 lb towing capacity on the Ford E450.
This is available due to the full chassis extension rather than tapered extensions that other brands offer, see photo below.
Statistics in May 2015 conclude 70% of class c buyers select a motorhome built on a Ford chassis. For more information about the Ford chassis, see the owners manual here.
