manholt Report post Posted March 10, 2017 Joe, read again...Blake was referring to a 2016 not his coach. Kay. Should be 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted March 10, 2017 My bad. Yea the new "Roadmaster" chassis is a Freightliner rebadged as Roadmaster by Freightliner. Its not a Semi Monocoque chassis as the TRUE Roadmaster chassis was. Between that and the air bag location being inward rather than out I can see why it was all over the road, probably felt tipsy also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blakeloke Report post Posted March 11, 2017 I really didn't feel comfy driving that one. But brought it up to speed nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 13, 2017 Sorry I haven't been back but there was a problem with forum website and I was unable to log on. I have been in communication with Brett about his coach, a real beauty. Unfortunately it really doesn't meet our needs. You may recall we want an extra 1/2 bath to be able to take our disabled son with us and a king size bed. Brett and I have also been talking about a 2008 Beaver Contessa at MotorHome of Texas. It would meet our needs, my only concern is that it has a Cat C9 engine. I am waiting on more info from MOT and if it turned out that we are still interested I have talked to Brett about possibly doing an inspection with me. Anyone with thoughts on this coach please chime in! Roland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 I think having Brett go over it with you would be the right thing to do. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blakeloke Report post Posted March 14, 2017 Roland, Check out this beautiful 2008 Beaver Contessa at Motorhomes of Texas. It's a 1.5 baths, 43" with a Cat C9. $139,500 list. http://motorhomesoftexas.com/coachrv/beaver/2008--contessa--42Milan--C1974 Blake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks Blake, I have made inquiries about it and unfortunately it might be sold. It would be perfect for what we want. I had emailed Brett W. about the engine in it, a Cat C 9. This is certainly the type of MH we want. Roland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 Is anyone familiar with the Spartan Liberty Chassis used in the Fleetwood Revolution LE 40 E. It has a 400hp Cat C9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 14, 2017 Roland, what do you want to know? I'm on a Spartan and I love it ! Have had both the Freightliner and Power Glide. Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Carl, I am looking at a Fleetwood Revolution which has a Spartan Liberty chassis. It is 40' long with no tag. Has a 400hp cat C9. I was wondering if that would help with my wind ride? Coach is 2007 so I have inquired if engine was made in 2006. Roland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfsod48 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 The wheel base is 278" and overall length is 40' 11". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Just being a Spartan and the added weight for a 41 footer would help. As has been stated earlier, by Brett, Kay, Blake and Joe, there are many factors that comes into play. What's the GVWR on the Revolution? Independent front suspension? I'm guessing it's a 8kw generator in front on a slide out. Most important question is, have you driven it ? I just checked out the Beaver, beautiful coach, but it does not show a build date or chassis engine date. I'm thinking it's a 2007 built. My other concern is the 20,600+ miles, would like to see at least 3X that. It's a RR10S chassis. It's 1.5 feet shy of 45 foot ! There is another site that might serve your wish. Prevost Stuff, on main page click on other luxury coaches. A lot of Monaco, Country Coach, Newell's, etc. from $100,000 up! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
