Freightliner Vers Mountian master chassis

Looking for some comparison of the two chassis.
Currently I have a 2006 Gulfstream on a freightliner xc chassis.
Seriously looking at a 2008 Newmar Dutch star on a Spartin chassis with comfort drive.
I know my current rig drives and rides a little rough
How is the Newmar?

Thanks in advance

  • I have a Spartan chassis on my Travel Supreme and very satisfied with the ride and performance. In the past American Eagles, and their other models all came with Spartan chassis's. I.E. Spartan was a higher line chassis for many models in the past compared to Freightliner.

    When T.S. first introduced the Envoy model it had a Freightliner chassis and CAT. engine, and after one year switched to Spartan and Cummins.
  • The Freightliner vs. Spartan Chassis debate is ongoing. The decision on what coach best satisfies your needs normally settles the discussion. If what you like comes on the chassis you like, you have a win/win situation instead of a compromise.
  • Probably a world of a difference...between Comfort Drive and a Spartan chassis, you can't get any better.
