The engines transfer
their power via a 6-
speed gearbox, which
is specially adapted to
the requirements of
motorhomes.
AL-KO AMC CHASSIS
This model year, Bürstner is equipping numerous
models with the low or high-frame AL-KO
amc chassis in a slimmed-down lightweight
construction. An important argument in favour
of the AL-KO amc chassis is that, thanks to
the weight savings achieved through the use
of this chassis, higher loading capacities can
be realised, meaning that the maximum permissible
weight class of up to 3.5 tonnes is
observed.
The axle track width is wider than in the original
chassis. This significantly increases driving
comfort and offers the best possible safety.
An overview of the advantages of the
AL-KO amc chassis:
More payload capacity thanks to a lower
unladen chassis weight compared to the
original frame
Customised floor plan layouts thanks to
individual wheelbase and overhang
variations
Low overall vehicle height thanks to a
lightweight, low-frame chassis with
frame lowered by up to 220 mm
Optimised roll stability and increased
driving safety thanks to low centre of
gravity and a wide-track chassis
Car-like suspension comfort
Optimum corrosion protection thanks to
hot-dip galvanised frame components
Comprehensive, tested accessories that
have been specially tailored to the amc
chassis
The highest safety standard thanks to
permanent quality controls on one of the
most modern test tracks in Europe
(certified according to DIN ISO 9001)
EXTERIOR HEIGHTS
To answer the question of what height is best
for the cabin of a motorhome, there are two
different approaches: either you prefer maximum
standing headroom inside and make
concessions when it comes to aerodynamics
or you go for as little wind resistance as possible,
which leads to less headroom on the
inside.
Our 50 years of experience have shown: for
semi-integrated models an exterior height of
2.75 to 2.85 m is ideally suited for fully satisfying
both demands.
Advantages of optimised exterior height:
Comfortable headroom when standing
inside creates a pleasant sense of space
Good aerodynamics enable more
efficient engine power with less fuel
consumption
Less wind noise and less sensitivity to
lateral wind
OPTIMUM ACCESS TO THE ENGINE COM-
PARTMENT
The low panoramic front of an integrated
motorhome leaves little space for the bonnet.
Here, too, Bürstner sets itself apart from the
rest, showing that form and function complement
one another perfectly. The characteristic
bonnet can be easily pushed up to allow optimum
access to the engine compartment.
