Yeah, for me a VW chassis would have been a deal breaker. It was FWD but the floor was not particularly low because it was built on a custom chassis that had significant underfloor storage. See picture below.
Gritz, to be clear, I was thinking more about a Ford with 158” wheelbase (about 6” longer) which would make it about 22-ft long overall. Width and height could still be about the same, although GVWR and GCWR would be much higher. With a RWD Ford or Chevy chassis outside storage would likely be less. For reference, building a similar motorhome today on a Ford (or Chevy) chassis should make this kind of difference.
2002 VW:
21’4” long
87” wide
10’2” tall
152” wheelbase
7,275 pound GVWR
9,275 pound GCWR
14 MPG on gasoline
2021 Ford:
~22’ long
87” wide
10’2” tall
158” wheelbase
10,050 pound GVWR
18,500 pound GCWR
~ 12 MPG on gasoline
