Coachmen RV said it will build select Freelander, Leprechaun and Cross Trail XL models with front and rear SuperSprings International products as standard, starting September 2021.
Coachmen RV already uses SuperSprings front and rear suspension products on all its Class B vans. Additionally, certain Class C gas motorhomes built on the F53 chassis use the SuperSprings steel solution.
Luke Handyside, national sales manager for Coachmen’s Class C division, was asked why the company decided to change the existing suspension package.
“The reason (they) started looking at new suspension systems was to see if [they] could improve on the user’s driving experience even more than [they] already have,” he said.
Handyside added that Coachmen was the first OEM to offer an upgraded suspension system with airbags on a Class C motorhome. He noted that, “Coachmen has a history of leading with industry firsts,” and pointed to examples such as the Azdel composite sidewalls and CrossFlex roof material. “What we found with SuperSprings International totally blew us away though, and that’s pretty hard to do!” Handyside added.
