Ringing Ceders

We do need to point out that there is a manufacturer called Western RV which has taken the basic frame rail design and improved it greatly. Western RV is located in Yakima, Washington and they produce a custom motorhome chassis called, “Peak Chassis”. The company has improved on the basic frame rail by adding additional supports which are bolted on and not welded to strengthen the overall frame, which provides a comfortable ride without the squeaks and rattles once associated with a basic frame rail design. They have received a number of awards for their design and it has proven to be a reliable chassis. In a way they are using a semi-monocoque approach but instead of welding they are bolting supports to the frame rail. Bottom line, we would recommend this type of chassis and they do receive high ratings in our book. Other than Peak Chassis, all other chassis manufacturers build a semi-monocoque design by welding supports to the basic frame rail to modify the standard frame rail to include a semi-monocoque design at the plant.
