I don't think the general public is knowledgable enough to affect the 'whethers' of rv builder frame choice.
That Mercedes badge carries prestige with people who require acknowledgements of that sort, but I don't think anyone uninitiated by previous rv ownership has even an inkling of an idea about frame/suspension differences based on experience.
Old things go away, new things replace them. I think that's all we're seeing.
Transits appear newer on a class B and c and Mercedes carries false emblem need.

I'm sure there are people who lament the old dodge frames and seats and 440 from the 1970's.

While we experienced (I wasn't, now I am) often change our suspensions, I'm going to guess only 1/10,000 do any changes other than slight bolt ons. I'll say 7 in 10 of those who do make changes do it simply for the sake of change/peer input.

(the Mercedes comments were not meant as a slam of any sort. I know their superiority and the benefits. But I also know of, but do not know, people who buy Maserati offroad vehicles and people with hummers who can't find the fwd knob. Mercedes is often similarly bought. I love that Maserati.... )
