ASV believes that Navistar failed with Monaco because it did not have any 500 or 600 hp luxury engines for loyal Monaco owners to upgrade to, and also because the Roadmaster chassis has not been updated for years, like Freightliner and Spartan. Looks like ASV believes Roadmaster is inferior to Freightliner and Spartan.
Navistar had access to the Cummins ISX so a lack of horsepower was not a problem. Navistar had much bigger problems to deal with when they couldn't get their heavy haulers approved by EPA.
The Roadmaster chassis particularly the S Series semimonoco chassis was always expensive to build and the decision to abandon it was purely economic.
