Which chassis on Dutch Star

[JRS]

Below is our first RV and was like you wondering which way to go (also the 1st year of the big upcharge for the Spartan - previously no upcharge) Been to Hershey 5 times prior to purchasing and asked many Spartan and Freightliner owners. Both owners liked their chassis. Now that I've had our rig for 2yrs, I'd get another FL. I love our DriveTech System which was designed by Daimler (FL's owner) and 1st offered on the DS in 2020.

I forgot one big difference, annual maintenance cost. My FL annual service was about $1,000 and Spartan is about $2,000. @TJ&LadyDi can you please pass the popcorn ?

I don’t think my annual service on the Spartan chassis (at Guaranty RV in Oregon) has even been more than $1,200-$1,400, @NWIP. That leaves quite a bit of the $2K left for popcorn purchases.

My arms are pretty long, Bill, but I don’t think I can reach all the way to South Dakota with the popcorn bowl. You know I would if I could!
