It’s a P30 chasis not P32. I only come in a short time each month. Situation is ok. Will post if I need assistance. Case closed.

Actually the general public has been misnaming the P32 chassis for years. The P30 chassis is a commercial chassis where as the RV chassis is really a P32 chassis. But it's irrelevant, calling your chassis a P30 will get you the correct parts most of the time.

When GM made the motorhome chassis it was initially designated a P32 and was never really officially recognized as a P30 except for ease of conversation and convenience.

Most publications, people and marketing types simply dropped off the "2" and the chassis became more commonly known in speech and print as a P30.

The differences in between the P series is blurred and to a GM engineer there wasn't any difference between a motorhome chassis whether it is spoken about as a 30 or a 32 it was simply recognized as a P series.

When WCC got the product the marketing efforts and literature pointed to a P32 Wide-Track designation however in reality to the technician types it was simply a P Series. Later we see the chassis guides dropping or never having mentioned 30 or 32 and simply describing the product as a P series.

Now please don't introduce any other model types into the mix because the P32 was designed to be a motorhome chassis as opposed to a commercial product. I understand that the placement of the steering wheel column is the biggest difference between a P30 commercial and a P32 motorhome chassis.
