I can't compare it with the Ford chassis, but, I am happy with the Chevy.

I've driven a 28A with Ford V10 across Rockies, without a toad, and it wasn't that fast uphills either. No matter how we look at it, 305 HP maximum on a rig that weighed close to 14,500 pounds can't be fast going up hills.
The Chevy V8 has more power than Ford V10, plus the 23U motorhome is lighter than the 28A, so performance should be better. Someone on this forum also reported Chevy V8 fuel economy was better than those with Ford V10.
I like the Ford E-Series cab but I'm biased because I've been driving them for about 20 years total. Having said that, I'm not a blind fan of the Ford V10 even though my present one has 175,000 miles (in a van) and only with minor repairs. It is reliable, but lacks refinement. Ford has been lacking a large modern truck-size V8 for a long time in my opinion.
