Roadmaster Chassis
Take the wheel of an Ambassador, and you're taking the wheel of the custom built Roadmaster RR8R chassis. Built to deliver the very best diesel motorhome experience, Roadmaster's construction utilizes advanced design and engineering, along with its eight outboard-mounted air bags and shock absorbers, to distribute stress evenly throughout the entire chassis, reducing the possibility of twisting and increasing durability and reliability. It's the ultimate foundation.
The Ambassador features a gutsy standard Maxxforce 10 diesel engine with 1,150 lbs./ft. of torque.
Every Roadmaster chassis features a steel firewall for added protection in the cockpit.
The main rails feature an exclusive raised rail design which provides for larger full pass-through storage bays with flush floors. Other highlights include a 3/8" thick frame rail - compared to the 1/4" of other manufacturers - and a stacked aluminum intercooler and radiator for optimum heat transfer and cooling.
Dual fuel fill allows you to fill the tank from either side of the coach, for greater convenience and flexibility at the pump.
This steel truss system is engineered as part of the chassis and provides outstanding strength and rigidity plus pass-through storage. In addition, the structure is pre-primed and coated with a rust-inhibiting paint.
Eight air bags work in conjunction with eight gas-charged shock absorbers to prevent road trauma from ever reaching the coach. Ride height sensors continually adjust the air pressure at each axle to maintain a level ride and eliminate nosediving, weight transfer, and floating on curved roads. This system also stabilizes the coach on uneven surfaces.
Automatic Traction Control (ATC) eliminates wheel slippage in slick conditions and heightens control. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) gives you superior stopping power, especially on steep grades. Together, these sophisticated systems offer the very best safety on the road.
Allison® 3000 MH 6-speed World Transmission and electronic shifter. The three-point engine mounting system lowers the coach's center of gravity and reduces the amount of vibration that reaches the coach. The mounting also makes the engine easier to service. A 10,000 lb. tow hitch rating is the highest in its class.
