What components of a motorhome constitute the chassis?
A motorhome can be divided into two main components—the body and the chassis. The chassis basically includes the frame, engine, transmission, axles, wheels, brakes, cooling system, electrical system, steering system, suspension and instrumentation. Looking at a motorhome chassis is like looking at a home that hasn’t been enclosed yet. The foundation’s done, and the plumbing and wiring are ready. Onto this platform, the motorhome manufacturer builds a body and outfits it with all of the accoutrements that make the vehicle comfortable to live in. Motorhome manufacturers work directly with Freightliner Custom Chassis to specify the exact chassis components that meet the needs of the home they wish to build on top.
