Spartan Chassis Teams with Newmar to Build a Motorhome Fit for the Whole Family

Innovative Mid-Engine Chassis Allows Duel-Level Bedroom

CHARLOTTE, Mich., Nov. 29 -- RVers demand customization and a new Newmar motorhome built on a Spartan chassis makes that possible like never before.

Spartan Chassis, a subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc. , will have its patented mid-engine Me2 on display on a new motorhome model at the 43rd Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky. (Booth # 2000)

Nappanee, Ind.-based Newmar Corporation is showcasing the All Star, a new Class A motorhome riding on a Spartan Me2 that features a two-level bedroom in rear, large enough for two bunk beds and a queen-size bed, allowing the vehicle to sleep up to eight people and specifically designed for families.

The Spartan Me2 chassis has the engine in the middle of the coach and below the frame rails, allowing for flat floors, more room, better design flexibility, improved performance and better ride and handling. The Me2 also increases the layout possibilities for future motorhomes, such as having a hot tub, workshop, or master bedroom with half-bath in the rear of the vehicle. Spartan has included a "virtual tour" of possible layouts using the Me2 on its website at http://www.spartanchassis.com/mh/me2do.asp .

"Spartan is helping RVers take their experiences to the next level of comfort and fun," said Richard Schalter, president of Spartan Chassis. "This new motorhome is an industry first, enabling customers to design their coach to their liking, similar to designing their own home. We are very excited that Newmar is developing new design opportunities with the Me2. This new coach demonstrates that the industry is exploring new roads in motorhome manufacturing."
