As a semi truck driver, I would love a Super C. If the engine needs a service, I can take it to any Freightliner, T/A, or Petro truck stop and get the engine serviced, especially since Detroit Diesel engines have warranties at those truck stops. I can maneuver that Super C like a Corolla.

@SuperWalterF Жыл бұрын

As a past RV driving instructor, I’ve been in and driven about 75 different Class-A MHs. Most are near or at the limits of their chassis engineering ( braking, load, towing, etc.). The super Cs often have at least 25% capacity remaining, even with full tanks. The stopping power alone puts me immovably in the Super C camp. Then add the serviceability and cost of repairs ($4000 windshield with 6-week wait time, vs $900 windshield that’s in-stock at many shops). Breakdown and you’re going to be making multiple calls to find a tow firm that’ll even do a class A, and when you find one, chances are it’s going to be a LOT further away. Lastly, I’ve seen both Class A and SupervCs following a wreck and the Super C has generally better survivability ( depends on the manufacturer). So, unless you have money to burn, the Super C is a far better bang for your purchasing AND maintenance dollars.

@davidescobar5366 2 жыл бұрын

The issue of storage on a Super C can be overcome with it's awesome towing capacity meaning you can tow a garage and then some that will give you alot more storage space. The issue of a Super not being able to park in exclusive class A spaces is not a big deal if you intend to not stay near your RV all day and go out and explore either by foot or another vehicle towed behind the RV. The issue of a Super C having less gas is offset by the fact that there are countless truck stops across the country to fuel up. Also if most of your trips are day trips on your RV then fuel issues should also not be a concern. Super Cs are also growing in interior space. So overall I'd say a class C is a great investment concidering the price.

Great Video...I am a Super C dude..love the safety, serviceability and longevity factor. Super Cs are less likely to twist and crack floor tiles if you have them and that darn windshield cost and vulnerability on a class A is a downer..lastly I HATE diesel pushers for the fact that IF you have to do major engine work you may have to go in under the bed platform for said service (some models may vary)and having someone INSIDE my coach to service the engine is the deal breaker for m.e..but hey..there is a RUMP for EVERY saddle :)

Great video and I'm all in on the Super C. Regarding the Super C servicing vs Class A (gas or diesel) is the fact that with a diesel in service, the mechanics have to tear apart your bedroom and in the gas coach, the mechanics are tearing apart your front living area. My point being that with basically any type of Super C, the mechanics are working outside your coach while you are still able to enjoy the living space inside.

I am a Super C guy. Couple other points: 1. Being towed. If your rig breaks down on the road, a super C is much easier to get towed to a service center. Some tow services (i've been told) won't tow an A Class because of potentially damaging it. 2. Service on the road if you break down. A lot of big rig service center have dispatch drivers that go out and work on rigs that break down on the road. You've probably seen them. With a Super C, they can come out to you and service you also, because you are running the same engine and they can easily get to it. Won't happen with an A Class. 3. Minor accident mitigation. Put a cattle guard on the front of your Super C, just like a big rig, and that deer you hit won't set you back thousands of dollars in repairs.

A couple of comments on this one: 1) when they discussed towing capability they omitted the key reason a Class A or diesel pusher (engine in the rear) might be able to two less and that's because the engine/motor is sitting behind the rear axle. The rear axle is rated as so many pounds so you can't be running a stacker trailer (2 vehicles) behind a diesel pusher which has the engine weighing down the rear axle. It's all about axle ratings and whether or not you have one axle or you have two and what their rating is regarding the weight they can support. 2) on the driveability issue, one reason the Super C feels more stable is that it has the weight of the engine on top of the front axle and then the weight of the Generator, water/waste tanks, heater, etc on the rear axle which is more in balance than a pusher which has most of it's weight on the rear axle. RV manufacturers will move up the generators and other items like batteries, etc towards the front of the coach to create more balance, generally speaking the Super C will feel a little more reassuring and you'll be a little more confident while driving one. 3) and one last point, you need to determine what you are going to use this vehicle for, how many people will be in it etc. If your main destination is to a resort with all the amenities then a Class A can make sense. If you want something that makes life on the road and maybe going into some challenging spaces the Super Cs under 38 ft are easier to navigate. A 45ft Class A can be a challenge even for the experienced driver. And the Miles Per Gall difference can be enormous between a Super C with the Cummins L9 engine (usually under 38ft) and the DD13 or Cummins X12 or X15 (usually in the 40ft plus Class A's. Be safe out there!!

If you have a diesel pusher and it reaches 10+ years old, the serviceability and number of service centers of the super C class (truck chassis) will become apparent. If you trade coaches often, get what you like! My 12 year old diesel pusher was great, but the rear radiator blocked engine servicing and it really was a problem to find a RV mechanic shop that will repair it, especially while on the road…we are Super C shopping currently

We have been full timing on our Renegade Verona VSB for about 7 months now. Absolutely love it (for all the reasons you talk about) buy especially when it comes to boondocking. We have camped on many places that would have been prohibitive in a class A. I have not had an issue with storage. Interior space depends on the floorplan, and many more super Cs are now offering opposing slides, more than one bath, etc. Our 2017 build quality is superb. We both drive, and even after a long driving day, we are not as exhausted as we were after driving a class A for the same time. We do a lot of boondocking, so the tank capacity is huge for us. Just did an upgrade to Lithium batteries to give us more capacity in that regard. BTW, we travel with 3 large dogs. Long story short, we love our Super C!

@@douglassellers7528 Ya, it's amazing how big hp is promoted in vehicles that weigh way less than half many a semi can weigh. It's not crucial to do 75 mph up a mountain. I guess for those who think it is though, well.. there's a 600+ hp 2200+ ftlb torque engine out there with your name on it. I suspect the main breakdown in decision making is not understanding the significant difference in torque availability. They are used to what 350 hp means in a gas job and can't relate to what amount of work can be done when you've got big block truck diesel torque that's propelling you up those mountains. But at least as RVing becomes more popular, drivers are becoming more informed all the time.

Great videos, keep it up! I definitely prefer the Super C. Another couple of pros for the Super Cs is getting them towed. Tow truck drivers do not like Class As, they are hard to hook up, sometimes need special equipment. They tow regular trucks all the time. Some of the Super Cs have tandem rear axles instead of a tag axle. Also I do not care for the entrance on most Class As, climbing around the passenger seat. As for the floor space, I would get a 45 foot Super C over a 38 or 40 foot Class A.

Service is a huge issue. By way of example my ford diesel truck had an alternator problem that left me stranded in Boise a couple of years ago. I coasted into a Bretz RV lot and was glad it was there. Not only would they not help me, they threatened to tow me away rather than sell me a battery or jump me. Lucky for me there was diesel truck repair facility across the street that did help me. So my choice for my next RV will include my experience and it will certainly not be something that needs to get fixed at Bretz RV.

We have a Class A but are interested in a Super C as a replacement. The reason for replacement is that Atlanta lacks service facilities for Class A equipment.

Hi Izzy and MJ, Great to see you. I'd like to get into answering the questions that you posed. If money was not an object and you were able to purchase a Newell or a Prevost with tag axle turns, I really challenge you to compare that to any class Super C with regard to ride. And the interior quality of your highest and Super C still does not compare to the quality of any Newell or a Prevost. but I guess that's not really fair because the most high-end Class A's cost a lot more than most high-end Super C's. And of course there's a whole other class that you did not discuss called Expedition vehicles. I guess they are specialized Super C's, Unimogs and all.

I just drove a 26 foot box truck across the country (26 foot is the box length, not the truck length), towing a car. IIRC it was an International chassis. It was a Penske, so it was optioned fairly well. Adaptive Cruise control, lane departure, collision mitigation. While that stuff certainly helped, possibly even prevented an accident, after 3 days I got out of that thing and hoped I would never have to do it again. I'm certainly not going to buy one and drive it around for fun, which is what a Super C is. So I get that people are buying them now just because they look cooler, but I think where Super Cs really shine is when you have a heavy hobby. Horse shows, auto racing, power boats, things like that. You don't need 10-20k lbs towing capacity for your toad, but you do to trailer a race car in a workshop trailer. Which is why some Super Cs are surprisingly short, around 30 feet long. So when you add your 15-20 foot long trailer you're not longer than a semi.

I can categorically state I would not want any class C with a power train combo lower than that, as with the combined wet weight of the Super C and a 20,000 lb stacker trailer as an example, you'd be passed by everything out there if it's using the typical 300Hp and less than 100olb Tq with one of those wimpy Allison autos the typical class 5/6 chassis comes with. Your auto tranny temps and rpm's would be in the red zone if climbing any long minimum gradient while attempting to keep up with the traffic.

Great video. Like most other things, the choice depends on needs and wants. We had a 2018 Dutch Star and now have a 2022 Renegade Classic class 8 chassis. We don't see us ever going back to a DP. While driving an SC, stability is second to none, especially when towing a Toad or enclosed trailer (40,000 lb). The drivability is also fantastic. We also drove non-class 8 Renegade, and it was nice, but it did not drive like its big brother. Not all SC are created equal. Regarding the cons you mentioned in the video, we felt those were unimportant, and we're good trade-offs. Most trucking companies will tow an SC over a DP because they are familiar with towing that type of vehicle. Most truck stops also have repair facilities to service and support an SC-type vehicle. Another negative of an SC is the turning radius. It is not as great as on a DP, but you have to adjust and plan for it. Another thing we noticed is our SC is quieter while driving (outside the engine and wind noise). We do not have the squeaks (plastic rubbing) like our Dutch Start. The Dutch star and the Renegade Classic are at the same level to build quality; however, our SC costs more than our DP new.

But, your Renegade built unit is not a typical Super C with your dedicated class 8 chassis. It will have far more Hp and Tq than the Super C's being marketed now. The super C's showing up at RV sales places today are actually class 5 & 6 units with the same engines and drivetrains 2500 series P/U's are now equipped with, such as 300/320 Hp and under 1,000lbs torque and along with their wet weight, will not be noted for towing 20,000lbs either comfortably or efficiently. That tow weight being given to these lesser chassis will come back to bite them when owners attempt to tow a stacker behind and wonder why their 6/8 spd Allison has got them in the red range on the tach to just climb a minimal grade while attempting to not become a rolling road block for everything from Volkswagon beetles to 30 year old gas winnies passing them and giving them the middle finger salute.

I have driven and spent a lot of time in both. I like the way the C drives, rides, handles, and the power more than an A. Yet once I get to my destination I prefer the room and storage of the A over that of the C. There are some really nice custom C being built I watched a review of a 1492 Coachworks Class C that impressed me. I have spent way more time in Class A but recently Class C has won my vote. I put 80,000 miles on an Class A motorhome. And it is more like driving in a "captains" chair as he said in this video, yet from the maintenance side of things, the way the Super C handles, and the fact that just calling the closest truck stop if you have a problem with a Class C and the mobile repair person will come to service your drivetrain in the Class C where when the water pump went out in my Class A in bum f&^% nowhere land I had to wait for 36 hours for RV place to open and half a day for someone to come out. In Class C I could have had a water pump in hours because almost every truck stop with a service department carries or can get from another truck stop most parts for the drivetrain. Safety and service outweigh the storage and extra room. I didn't always feel that way yet I do now.

Good discussion! thanks for starting it. I have a couple other factors that sway my preference to the super C: 1) I like having the extra bed over the cab for guests. Class A's do not have that, except in a gasser which is not an option due to capacity and towing, without blocking access through the main door. 2) IMHO a super C feels more like I am driving my house around while a class A makes me feel like I live in my [very large] car with the entrance being in the cockpit.

Speaking of "Super", this is another Super video, guys! Great topic, spot-on analysis. I concur with your views. There are some strong reasons for going with a Super C, but storage is a huge issue for us, maybe we have too much "stuff", but much of it we consider essential for camping (glamping). As for serviceability and access to the engine of a Class A, I've thought that was a concern too, but when talking to a tech at a local Cummins shop recently when our coach was in for an engine related recall, I asked that question - they didn't think it was an issue especially with the side mounted radiator on the DS and other Class A's that have a similar configuration.

Excellent issues to consider! Good points. Seemed the comparison was more with Diesel Pusher Class A's vice "Class A's." We own a Class C and have considered moving to a gas class A or super C. The point made about some resorts only allow Class A's, isn't an issue for us because there are plenty of RV campgrounds out there. The CCC is a real plus for most Super C's for us. Seems the Super C's are more expensive. Plus, we want a bath and half if we ever get rid of our class C (Entegra Esteem 29V). thanks, excellent video.

I agree. All windshields collect rocks and will break but those huge flat class A's wind shields are more likely to catch rocks and break.

You should mention that all Super C's are not created equal because those with the 300 HP and under 1000 Ft Lb's of torque with an automatic transmission (basically the same drivetrain offered in 2500 series P/U's) and their wet weight will in no circumstances pull 20,000lbs safely or efficiently. They'll be the units being passed by everything out there while that automatic has them in the amber tach range going up even the slightest of grades. So akin to the diesel pusher class A's; to get the "actual" and realistic 20,000lb tow efficiency you gotta go higher Hp & Torque - ergo MORE money, just like the A's.

I just wanted to point out something about safety. I’m a truck driver and have seen accidents right up close. I love the form of the super c BUT take a long hard look at the hood and engine placement. If you are in a hardcore front end accident, that hood is going to fly right up towards the driver’s head. The engine is floating almost suspended on the chassis; it will fold up towards you depending on the rnergy levels. The A class the engine is below you. Nothing is coming up at you like a hood. If you collide with a four wheeler it will fold under you. So as long as you are belt buckled you have way better safety in what I call a cab over. This is also one of the reasons europe only allows cabovers.

Well, since I can't afford to buy either one of these big, beautiful motor homes, my comments are strictly from observation, BUT... As a retired long-haul truck driver, I would feel right at home in a Super C. It's just a regular semi-truck with a really big sleeper! The driving position in a Class A feels kind of strange. You're actually sitting up in front of the front wheels and it takes some getting used to for making turns and the way it steers. I also like the serviceability factor of the Super-C and the fact that you can get full service at nearly any Freightliner (or whatever chassis you have) dealer, anywhere you travel, while getting service for a Class A is more restricted. I've heard that even some motorhome dealers don't like to do heavy maintenance on a big Class A.

I have heard that some tow companies (those with rigs big enough to tow trucks) will not tow class-a vehicles for fear of damaging the vehicle but will tow a super-c since they are hooked up the same as other commercial trucks.

Finally got a large trucking garage, who then didn't know how to fix it. My buddy and I spent many, many hours of vacation searching for parts ourselves, because it was not a normal truck chassis to them. If it were a Super C, they probably had parts in stock. It was a real pain and total effort on our end to get parts. They really wanted nothing to do with it. And that IS the major route on the East Coast. What if we were in the middle of nowhere?

A seller of a Class A, says that due to Class A is on a bus basis it is much more convenient on the axles. Because are build in that way that people can sit comfortably.

Because over in Europe the trucks don't have a engine hood. The engines are below the driver.

The S2RV chassis was misrepresented as a commercial chassis. It's a product of FCCC (custom chasssis) just like many Class A chassis. One of the key differences, IMO, is that the DEF filler/tank on the S2RV chassis is in the rear of the coach. On the M2 Freightliner the DEF filler/tank is by the drivers side door.
