Kestrel Take

A well-built gas Class C on the Ford E-450 chassis — the Greyhawk is a popular, family-friendly cabover with Jayco's better-than-average build and warranty. Class C's are easier to drive than a Class A and the Ford chassis/V10 has a strong durability record and serviceable anywhere. Same roof/seal, slide, and tire-age inspection. A dry, well-kept Greyhawk is one of the more sensible family RV buys; the water and slide checks matter most.
