UnderbellyEnclosed

American Coach (Better tier): REV Group's flagship 45 ft diesel pusher (Fleetwood's American Coach division before that). Gel-coat fiberglass sidewalls with no wood substrate, interlocking aluminum roof/sidewall/floor, Aqua-Hot hydronic heat, heated tank bays and a Freightliner tag-axle chassis — a genuine peer of Newmar and Tiffin's top lines.

FINDING ONE

Scarce: months of watching; be ready to fly and drive it home. Why: 18 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Fleetwood-era 40-footer on a Spartan chassis — 5,700 lb of cargo capacity and a garage-friendlier 12'8" roof than the modern 45s.
