Re: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
The Dodge Van-based MH's called "Class C" are the Subject of our attention to Engines V-8 (273/318/360/400/413/440), and Mostly Dual-Wheel Rear Axle chassis, with a A-727 "Loadflite" Version of the "Torkflite" Chrysler Automatic Transmission. Of course, there is a Heavier Frame that is suitable for the "Class A" Dodge-based MH's. Many of the components of the Drivetrain, including Brakes, Engine,and Electrical Systems are shared between the various Models. I have been studying the possible Upgrades for much of the Standard Equipment applicable to Dodge MH's. For example, I have developed a Cooling System for the front Disc Brake Rotors, when the benefits of air-cooling are compromised by operating in Slow Traffic. I have also developed a Super Heavy-Duty Back-Up Lighting System, for those situations After Dark.554Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
As for the Letter Designation of Dodge Based MotorHomes, here is what the Factory Official Dodge Service Manual says : B300 can be a Van, a "Wagon", a "Maxi-Van",or a Maxi-Wagon". MB300 is a "Front Section", which is the Incomplete "Van Chassis" that is purchased by the Varied Coach Builders, from which they produce the finished Class C Motorhome. A CB300 is a Category for Chassis that are destined to become the "Ryder" or "U-Haul" TYPE of Hauling Truck with a rectangular "Box". (In Later Years, the "300" is Re-named to be "350".)680Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
WhiteKnight001 : Glad to read that our Dodge-based Thread has gotten such a following. My 1977 Dodge "MB300" Class C 24-footer has been parked in storage for a while, awaiting my rebuilding of the 440. I would sure like to hear from other folk, who have done repair/rebuild on the majestic "RB" Block 413/440 engines.667Views0likes0Comments
