He said that there was still no word on the Transit chassis, as there are still at least another production years worth of E450 chassis sitting around. Jayco may also stop offering the Chevy chassis, as so few are being sold.
Can't wait to see what all of the 2018 changes are....

We picked up a 2018 MV last weekend. Notable changes from the 2015 model are;
New driftwood wood color throughout coach with updated fabric decor (beats old cherry/honey glaze!)
New light beige vinyl flooring in rectangle tile design throughout (bright, works well with overall color scheme!)
Metal clip slam latches on outside compartments (except gen & battery) with custom key (no more 751!)
Updated driver/passenger mirrors with side camera (not integrated into mirror, but below!)
Garmin / Fusion Nav/Radio with removable faceplate (great update over Clarion model!)
47 Gal fresh water tank (sure beats 32 gal!)
Full queen bed in sofa (Jackknife was not practical for adults!)
· White exterior with new black/brown/blue graphics package
· LCI leveling system with digital readout
· Atwood 6gal tank water heater
· White LED courtesy light on exterior
· Carbon Fiber decal trim package in coach
· King Jack Antenna
· Thermofoil seamless counters throughout
· Stainless sink bowls throughout
· Stainless faucets throughout (even in shower)
· No outside grill mount, grill or TV mount
· Cup holders mounted into table
· Additional 110V plug under dining table in bench seat
· Solar panel wiring prep connections on roof
· Skylight in living area
· Roller day & night shades vs accordion pleated shades
· Flush mount LED puck lights under cabinet over kitchen sink
· DVD/Bluray player with main TV in coach
· Replaced pull-out cabinet/counter for just counter (with soft glide hardware)
· Updated keyless entry lock on main door
· Larger seamless windows throughout
· Replaced 4 drawer stack on both sides of sink with 3 drawer stack (wider drawers where pull-out counter was)
· 6 speed Ford transmission and 7500 lb tow capacity (up from 5000 lbs)
· Power command/usage amp monitor for various landline services (15, 20 30 amp)
Removed light in shower (kinda dark at night)
Standard 8 cubic foot Fridge (standard 10 cubic foot in our 2015)
Updated coach seats (sit higher and seat much wider... not as comfy)
I know some of the above changes were made in the 2016/17 models, but I am comparing this to the 2015 model year.
