The Spartan chassis w/IFS is a good one ...a cut above Freightliner w/larger airbags, etc. Our's rides and drives great. Side radiator I presume? ...preferable over rear radiator in my opinion.

I can't comment from personal exeprience on the Kountry Star, but Newmar generally makes a very good coach.

No paul it is a rear rad and exhaust brake, The side rad and Jake were on the wish list But some of the list will not make it!!!

From other replys and posts I have seen, the rear radiator setup is one that gets dirty fairly quick -- due to the backdraft behind the MH as it travels down the road. Also the breather tube from the crankcase will emit some crankcase oil residue and this gets sucked into the rear radiators. Not a problem if you keep it clean (from what I have heard -- several cleanings a year -- depending on how many trips and how dusty the road was). I know that you can't get all that you want on a first purchase. I have the Mountain Master chassis on mine with the side radiator -- only clean it once a year and is easy to do -- never that dirtly.
