What are the best reasons why there aren't any "Gas Pushers" in Class A RVs? It would seem that the small ones (<34') could benefit: less engine noise up front, more basement storage because no long driveshaft.

We see gas coaches in Class A parks. Some of them also have a size limit. Judy D

I've never seen any after dozens of hours of web searches. They must be rare as hens teeth. Who makes them?

Search Workhorse UFO. They quit making them years ago.

Major drawback is radiator air flow!

It also would be an RV specific chassis setup and the quantities wouldn’t justify the cost of producing such a chassis. The F53 can also be sold for commercial applications

One word, economics. GM originally designed the Workhorse chassis to replace the P30/P32 gas 350/454 chassis. The UFO version of the Workhorse was available as a gas pusher OR a diesel pusher. The economic events of 2009 killed it.
