When did the Chevrolet P chassis come out?

Are there any problems with the P chassis?
Sounds straightforward enough, but the P Chassis has been given a reputation for not handling very well, even after an alignment has been done. The catch seems to be that many of the motorhomes experiencing drivability problems have old, worn, saggy parts. Sound familiar?
