Advantages of a truck conversion over a standard Class A are safety, ease of service/maintenance, and usually a much higher power-to-weight ratio, since most semi-tractors are built to move an 80,000-pound (36,000 kg) combined weight. A disadvantage is that with the engine up front, they are louder than when the engine is in the back.
Traveler 24 (Built on Mercedes Sprinter chassis with 3l diesel engine) A Class C motorhome is usually built on a modified truck chassis. These Holiday Rambler vehicles can carry as much as 29 US gallons (110 L) of water and 57 US gallons (220 L) of gasoline. When fully loaded, these vehicles can weigh as much as 14,000 pounds.
The house batteries are separate and isolated electrically from the vehicle batteries, known in this context as engine batteries that are used to start and operate the motor vehicle part of the RV (motor of a motorhome, car or truck for tow vehicles or campers).

[5] [2] The Pierce-Arrow's entry was specialized for the camper in mind—providing cargo compartments for camping equipment and even an on-board toilet. [6]
The higher the loading, the more power needed to maintain rotor speed. [3] A low disk loading is a direct indicator of high lift thrust efficiency. [4] Increasing the weight of a helicopter increases disk loading. For a given weight, a helicopter with shorter rotors will have higher disk loading, and will require more engine power to hover.
1972 GM Rotary engine cutaway shows twin-rotors. Popular Science magazine in the May 1972 article "GM Rotary Engine for the 1974 Vega", an illustration of the Wankel installed in a 1974 Vega hatchback showed a different grille, a lower, more sloped hood line, and a "GM Rotary" badge and Wankel crest on the rear quarter panel.
