I believe that the six speed transmission is the major change along with engine/transmission programming. Also engine info display has been updated.
There are other chassis changes.
I ordered a Roadmaster sway bar to be installed by my dealership when the coach we ordered arrived. Roadmaster sent a 2015 sway bar and it wouldn't fit the 2016 chassis. My dealership is located near the Roadmaster Headquarters so Roadmaster sent a crew to measure the new 2016 chassis. Roadmaster brought with them a Tiffin sway bar. They installed theTiffin sway bar on our coach.
I don't know when the interval between oil changes was updated. My 2016 manual has 6,000 miles between oil changes when not towing and 4,500 miles between oil changes when towing.
We made a coast trip and only changed our oil once. With a 3K interval on our previous coach and a similar trip we had to change oil twice. It doesn't sound like much but finding a place that is willing to change oil in a motor home can be changeling.
An easy way to tell a six speed chassis from a five speed is to look at the shif lever display.
If P RND 421 it's a six speed chassis.
If P RND 321 it's a five speed chassis.
Safe travels. JD.
