Jayco motorhomes and Spartan Motors’ RV chassis division unveiled a new diesel motorhome at the 2018 Florida RV SuperShow in Tampa. The 2018 Jayco Embark is the first diesel motorhome under the Jayco brand with a specially designed and equipped Spartan K1 360 chassis, according to Steve Guillaume, president of Special Vehicles for Spartan Motors.

The Embark’s K1 360 platform will feature a Cummins ISB-360 powerplant mated to an Allison 3000MH electronic 6-speed transmission, 12,000-pound rated independent front suspension and 10,000-pound towing capacity. The chassis is also equipped with an HTB rear suspension that improves roll stability, and a side-mounted chassis service center that provides direct, one-stop access to most components needed to perform chassis maintenance.

As with all Spartan chassis, the K1 360 will benefit from the company’s 3-year, 50,000-mile warranty, in addition to the Cummins 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty and the Allison 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty, all backed by over 280 service centers nationwide.
