I also doubt that they have much technical knowledge. It is very likely that their sales training is geared towards a marketing style approach showing you all of the bling of the brand new coach with its wonderful wallpaper, and the even more beautiful door knobs!
I bet that most of them would not even know the difference between an E450 and an F53!

Agree 100%.

That still doesn't explain the lack of higher-end smaller Class As unless the industry just knows from previous years of experience that they won't sell in large enough quantities to make them profitable.

For example, Tiffin introduced a new small Class C at Tampa show based on Sprinter cutaway van chassis. I thought the build was very good as I'd expect from Tiffin, but if interested in a Class A, the smallest unit they make is much larger than the Axis-size. There is a huge gap in size.

There are many high-end more expensive Class Cs in the 26-foot and shorter size, but as I recall there are none built as a Class A. If some buyers are willing to pay well over $100k for Class Cs (more like B+) in the 22 ~ 26 foot range, then why not As also?
