Why was the rm8h chassis sold to Roadmaster?

By Sophia Aguilar |

Why was the rm8h chassis sold to Roadmaster?

This design was abandoned due to its weight and cost to produce, originally designed as a bus chassis in the 80’s by Chrysler and sold to Roadmaster. That and it can stand up on its roof without collapsing is all I am able to locate. Anyone have any literature on the RM8H chassis?

What kind of chassis is a Roadmaster coach?

Two and a half years have passed since we bought this coach. All this time I was told it was built on a Roadmaster RR8S chassis. Every time I buy a part for that chassis it never fits, i.e. Safe T Plus. Come to find out it is actually on a RM8H Semi Monocoque chassis.

Is there a problem with the Roadmaster r4r chassis?

The problem does not involve any Roadmaster R4R and RR4R chassis that are equipped with Neway or Reyco suspensions. The members who con- tacted FMCowned motorhomes that had suffered cracked or broken rear trailing arms, causing the vehicle to handle poorly.

How big is a 2005 Roadmaster Chassis GVWR?

GVWR = 34,600. 2005 Monaco Windsor. I noted on the RM8H brochure (above link) that the GVWR of similar length coach is 36,000! 2002 Monaco Windsor. Big difference! Whoa….wait a sec!
