I have not seen or driven a motorhome on the UFO chassis yet. How do they deal with accessing the engine for service, checking oil, water, etc., when the radiator is in the rear?

Accessing the engine is done via a flat hatch cover located some where in the rear of the coach be it under a bed or where ever the coach builder provided it.

Some manufacturers will also provide some access to the sides of the motor however you will see on some models rear condensers and house air conditioning that will prevent access to the sides of the motor. Not to worry though - you can get at everything from the top engine access hatch.
