Spartan Chassis vs. Frieghtliner My opinion isn’t worth much but here it is anyway. We had an 2020 Entegra Anthem with a Spartan chassis. One of the reasons we purchased an Entegra was because they came on a Spartan chassis. We had that coach for 4-1/2 years and it worked flawlessly. In February we purchased a new Entegra Anthem, this time with a Freightliner chassis. This coach rides much ...
The Freightliner schematics also refer to the master module as the RV Multiplexer which is located in the area under the driver's seat by the two fuse boxes. Turns out the rear lighting on the chassis is handled by the chassis control module while the front lighting is handled by master control module.
A new drive shaft, universal joints, and 6 or seven other parts were changed out by Freightliner, who were responsive to our new Phaeton's chassis failure. Apparently these major bolts were never adequately torqued when factory built by Freightliner. If this had happened at highway speeds, our fate would have certainly been much worse, perhaps ...
Happened once last year and I attributed it to a glitch but it happened again this year ... 2022 Newmar Dutch Star on a Freightliner chassis. I take my coach out once a month to "exercise it" (don't like having it in prolonged storage during the winter; run the generator w/a load for ~1.5 hrs...
Freightliner makes a fine chassis but the chassis that Tiffin specifies is not equivalent to the Powerglide. If Tiffin used more closely matched Freightliner than the issue is over, but between the two that Tiffin puts under the Phaeton the Powerglide is superior. That said, floorplan is what you live with everyday and if the floorplan doesn't work for you the chassis really doesn't matter.
