Good article about RVs, the Big 4 companies, chassis & fabrication history.
“In our RV History exploration of the Neo-Classic Era (1990-2007), you’ll see how innovation inside the RV industry led to changes so important that fundamental principles on weight and width needed redefinition.
We’ll also journey through the details of how Freightliner and Ford became the dominant chassis suppliers in the motorhome industry. As fuel prices rose, you’ll learn how a foreign automaker redefined its image and turned a minor RV category into one of the most popular. Finally, discovering a new building material with multiple properties allowed RV manufacturers to expand the ultra-lite category into the traditional towable classes.
Come with us as we show you how the Neo-Classic Era shaped RV History and influenced the RVs we see today.”
