Any Nexus Super C owners on the Forum?
Just curious if there is any Nexus Super C owners on the forum to exchange ideas and thoughts Thanks Mike
Forum Discussion
Thanks for these details, I really appreciate it.
He's right then, NeXus really needs to update their web site. The Standard Features Page still lists "Allison 5-Speed Transmission 1350 Series". 2550 is a step up, they should take credit.
That's the theory. In practice, I've seen several forum posts from customers who went back to the factory to get a bunch of work done. OTOH, I've seen NONE from customers who were satisfied about getting all their warranty punch-list items done from a local service center.
Super glad to hear these, thanks! It's actually shocking to hear you'd be running through mountains in 6th gear.
I get that it's within GVWR. Just seems like less OCCC than I'd expect from a diesel. The gas Phantom's have the same 2000-ish OCCC, so I would have expected the diesel to give more, that's all.
We can live with 2000 lbs, we just have to be thoughtful about what we carry. The DP's have 3-4000 it seems, so then it's like bring grandma and grandpa and whatever the heck you can fit!

Butch - rest assured its a 6 speed for certain. It's the Allison wide range 2550MH (motorhome series) and rated for up to 30,000 gvw.

very few owners travel back to the manufacture unless they have major issues.

The leveling jacks work fine and they are very quick. The Maxxforce 7 has good power, we live in the mountains of Ga and not one time did it downshift to 5th from Elkhart to Ga. The power is comparable to a 36 Journey I had with the 6.7 Cummings. ... The engine is dead quiet for a diesel, In fact wither you idling or doing 60 is no louder in the cab than a gas powered pickup. ... The coach handles remarkable thanks to its low GG and long wheelbase.

Our coach weighs out close to 17,000 lb fully fueled and loaded. Keep in mind these chassis (as a truck) are designed to carry this weight day in and day out so its not like anything is straining or overloaded
