Re: Navisar in trouble
Jayco is now using the Freightliner M2 on both the Embark and now Senaca lines. From what I have seen, that is a good RV platform. I know the Embark has air suspension, I don't think the Senaca does. I am not sure about the Renegade but I would bet it has air. I really wish that Gulf Stream had gone with Freightliner. Their customer service and quality seems to be a step above International. They have Oasis dealers that cater to RV owners. I am a member of the FCOC (Freightliner Chassis Owners Club) and they give us a discount on service. I have attended Camp Freightliner where they go through two full days of information about the chassis, engine, suspension, and transmission. It was a great experience except for information overload. Their RV chassis hot line is available 24/7 and reps are fantastic.
As a side note, I have been a little surprised that Monaco, now owned by parent company Navistar, has not used a 4300 or better yet, a 4400 chassis for their brand. I know they are using the Intrnational engines in Monaco coaches (main reason I chose Winnebago over Monaco) but no truck, Class C coaches to this point.
I do wonder who bought the two 2O1O SuperNovas that were built on the 4400 chassis with the DT 466 engines and air suspension that were manufactured before GS stopped making this brand? That is a more stout chassis/engine combination. I keep watching this board to see if anyonr fesses up to owning one of them but no report to this point.
Have fun and be safe.
