chassis cab / cab section Explanation: Pieced together from the discussion; was the closest thing I could find: "Üblicherweise wird das Basisfahrzeug in Form eines Transporterfahrgestells von einem Autohersteller geliefert. Manchmal besteht das Basisfahrzeug auch aus einem Triebkopf vom Autohersteller und einem daran angebauten Spezialrahmen (zum Beispiel Alko-Tiefrahmen)." http://www.promobil.de/themen/basisfahrzeug-fuers-wohnmobil-... See picture on p. 10: http://www.fiatprofessional.de/de/CMSDE/Pdf/Reisemobile-Duca... "These use a cab and chassis from a major van manufacturer and then a motorhome body is built on to complete the vehicle." http://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/helpandadvice/get... Ford (albeit US) uses the same word: http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transitchassis/ Seems to be confirmed here: "Chassis Cab - A common type of base vehicle on which a motorhome may be built. The vehicle manufacturer builds a complete, driveable chassis with enclosed cab area, but no bodywork behind the cab. The converter then adds a habitation area to this." http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/advice-and-training/glossary |
