Innovative Mid-Engine Chassis Allows Duel-Level Bedroom
CHARLOTTE, Mich., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — RVers demand
customization and a new Newmar motorhome built on a Spartan chassis makes that
possible like never before.
Spartan Chassis, a subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPAR), will
have its patented mid-engine Me2 on display on a new motorhome model at the
43rd Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky. (Booth # 2000)
Nappanee, Ind.-based Newmar Corporation is showcasing the All Star, a new
Class A motorhome riding on a Spartan Me2 that features a two-level bedroom in
rear, large enough for two bunk beds and a queen-size bed, allowing the
vehicle to sleep up to eight people and specifically designed for families.
The Spartan Me2 chassis has the engine in the middle of the coach and
below the frame rails, allowing for flat floors, more room, better design
flexibility, improved performance and better ride and handling. The Me2 also
increases the layout possibilities for future motorhomes, such as having a hot
tub, workshop, or master bedroom with half-bath in the rear of the vehicle.
Spartan has included a “virtual tour” of possible layouts using the Me2 on its
website at http://www.spartanchassis.com/mh/me2do.asp .
“Spartan is helping RVers take their experiences to the next level of
comfort and fun,” said Richard Schalter, president of Spartan Chassis. “This
new motorhome is an industry first, enabling customers to design their coach
to their liking, similar to designing their own home. We are very excited
that Newmar is developing new design opportunities with the Me2. This new
coach demonstrates that the industry is exploring new roads in motorhome
manufacturing.”
