The Chevy 5500 Duramax diesel chassis is a real differentiator here, 350 horsepower, 700 ft-lb of torque, rear air ride suspension, and an Allison 6-speed transmission give this Class C a powertrain more commonly found in commercial trucks. That same chassis supports a 15,000-lb hitch rating, so towing a vehicle or boat isn't just possible, it's comfortable. Construction leans heavily on durability, with seamless gelcoat fiberglass sidewalls, a composite substrate in place of wood, and a high-strength steel cage throughout. Choices that hold up far better than traditional wood framing over time. Onboard, the 6.0 Onan diesel generator with auto-start, on-demand hot water, fully automatic hydraulic leveling jacks, and solar prep round out a package that's genuinely set up for independent travel rather than campground hookups.
Other class c motorhomes floor plans (around 29 ft 1 in, near $227,000), similar in size and price to the Verrado 28S.
