We have a 32' class C on a Chevy Kodiak C5500 chassis, 6.6 Duramax with an Allison. Enough power, stops good (love the exhaust brake), 9 MPG towing, tows fine after adding a decent set of shocks. The coach weighs just over 18,000 lbs, GCWR is 26,000 lbs so you can legally tow 8,000 lbs. There are a few different coach brands out there on these chassis, if you stick to one of the shorter ones you can keep the gross within legal. Our total weight is just over 26,000 with a 24' trailer, 3500 lb stocker and lots of unnecessary stuff my wife insists on bringing along.
