Soon going to own an Omni..

[Pete'sMH]

So now I’m confused.... my 2019 Class A is on a typical Ford 20500lb F53 chassis. But I notice that the documentation that came with it calls it an F550. Clearly that means something else now... why the change?

I went back a fourth about purchasing a diesel pusher class A and the Omni. I choose the Omni when I found out about the new RB34 model for 2021. I have a deposit on and Omni slated for late November delivery. My problem is that I never drove a magnitude/Omni before... to all the magnitude and Omni owners, how does it drive? Does it sound like a rattle box like a regular class C? I hear the F550 chassis is a dream, true?
Thanks all.

We just bought a 2020 Magnitude BH35.

Our previous rig was a Chev 2500HD pulling a 2012 Voltage 3200 Toy Hauler.

We live in SLC, and nobody close had what we wanted, and prices were steep for what they had. I ended up flying to Yuma AZ to pick our unit up. I drove it back in two days, sort of a crash course and shakedown in one. Three words:

I LOVE it.

It drives nicer than my Silverado, it's quiet, and the amenities are amazing. As others have said, it's like driving a large pickup. Even backing it up is a breeze. I'm so happy not to be worrying about trailer tire blowouts, hitch problems and incessant noise and bucking.

She's going to the shop next week for a few punchlist warranty items, but nothing serious. Overall, we've now done three trips with her and we couldn't be happier.

So, drives like a dream, rides like a dream, quieter than my previous trucks. Plus we love the insides! I think you'll be pleased too.

Happy Motoring!'

The documents are wrong

What does a VIN decoder say? The VIN is the true indicator and not a piece of paper. What model class A

Ford did make an F-550 stripped chassis but that was many years ago. I think the last year was 2007. I think the only stripped chassis now are the F53 and F59..... at least that is all that is listed on the Ford website.

I can't imagine a motorhome manufacturer would ever buy a chassis with a cab and then remove it to build a class A.

Here is all the VIN Decoder says....

Might be worth a call to Ford and Thor.

What class a is this on?

It’s a 2019 30 foot Newmar Bay Star Sport 3008, class A. The other interesting thing I just noticed is that the “window sticker” says it’s a 208 inch wheelbase but in reality it is only 200 inches. I can’t imagine that Newmar shortened it. I don’t guess I really care - it is what it is - but it’s a puzzle.[ATTACH]26103

Pete,
Whatever it is: it's a really nice-looking rig!

[Max4Speed]

Congrats!! Looking at the same one and absolutely love the F550 portion and the floor plan. Love my 2017 F350 Dually as well hence being in the ford camp

What I am reading is that the "punch list" stuff is normal and not to worry about? Thats a bummer that they use us as their test dummies lol

Maybe it came out of the factory...
