A Google search returns zilch. So can someone steer me to actual details about this Coachmen's Transit-based RV? Or is its existence merely vaporous hearsay?

Looking at these pics, I'd say the Trend/Viva may be doomed. The pricing difference is just not that great to pick one of those over this new line.

Usually I'd say a $20k difference in MSRP would justify it as another class, but in this case, it just isn't there.

thanks! I had seen that page, and another with a pic of a Chevy-based Class C, and thought they must be in error. But you prompted me to dig deeper on Coachmen's site, and I finally found the Transit model after scrolling to the bottom of the extensive Freelander layouts. Considering the Transit's GVWR, the 20CB seemed like a bloated build with that expansive over-the-cab bunk, but I guess it's gonna happen, maybe as soon as January.

Coachmen will also be building the Orion which is currently on the Promaster chassis on the Ford Transit. It is on their website, too
