ANOTHER NATIONAL RV ADVANTAGE“BIG BOX” DESIGNTradewinds’ interior heightis an impressive 7’ 1” toprovide a spacious, openliving area. This is madepossible, in part, by NationalRV’s exlusive CircularAirfl ow climate controlsystem, which employsa basement-mounted airconditioning unit, allowing thecoach body to be built tallerwithout the extra height ofroof-mounted air conditioners.The FoundationEvery fine home—especiallyone on wheels—requires afirm foundation. That’s whyTradewinds’ most impressiveattributes are beneath the skin,where sound engineering resultsin lasting quality.BUILDING THE INDUSTRY’S BEST COACH BODY COMPONENTS1 All coach body panels—sidewalls, fl oor,roof, rear bulkheads and slide-outboxes—are framed in rigid, fullywelded tubular steel for superiorstrength and longevity that othermaterials just can’t match.2 Thick EPS block foam insulation isprecisely fi t into the steel framework of everycoach body panel. EPS foam maintains itsintegrity over time and won’t settle and saglike fi berglass blanket insulate does.3 Advanced industrial adhesives are carefullymetered between each layer of the laminatedcoach body component. Next the assembly isvacuum bonded to form a single, imperviousunit that possess all of the qualities of theinput components.Superior Coach BodyConstructionNational RVuses an advancedvacuum laminationprocess and the highestquality materials in theconstruction of the fullyinsulated roof, walls and floor.TUBULAR STEEL FRAMEStronger and less susceptible to work fatigue than aluminum andwon’t decay like wood.CROWNED ROOFThe best RV roof in the business is built with arched tubular steel rooftrusses. The crowned roof has radius edges for superior runoff.FREIGHTLINER ® XC-SERIES CHASSIS• Raised rail chassis design yields cavernous pass-through storage bays.• 400 HP Cummins ® ISL engine with 1,200 ft.-lbs. of torque!• 6-speed Allison ® MH3000 automatic transmission with electronic shifter.• 10,000 lb. tow hitch reciever with 7-pin connector.• 150 gallons of fuel capacity for an extended range between fill-ups.• Full air-ride suspension and air brakes with ABS.• Polished aluminum alloy wheels.ANOTHER NATIONAL RV ADVANTAGEDuraFrame ® Chassis SystemTradewinds uses a completely re-engineered version of National RV’spatented DuraFrame ® Chassis System to provide unmatched coachstrength without placing undue stresses on the coach body. TheDuraFrame strategy is to build the necessary coach strength into thesubfloor system, rather than rely on the coach body componentssuch as the sidewalls for overall coach strength. This is especiallynecessary in today’s multiple slide-out motorhomes. In competingmotorhomes which rely chiefly on the sidewalls for coach strength,the slide-outs represent huge voids in their structural rigidity.Tradewinds’ all welded, tubular steel DuraFrame Chassis System isspecifically designed for maximum performance, even on multipleslide-out motorhomes.4 State of the art computer numericallycontrolled (CNC) routers cut window, slide-outand other openings with amazing precision.National RV invests heavily in the latesttechnologies to ensure quality and effi ciency.5 Completed components are carefullyinstalled on the main assembly line. Sidewallsare installed with a unique fastening systemthat places the weight of the coach body ontothe tubular steel frame, not on the fastenersthemselves.FIBERGLASS ROOF SKINA seamless barrier against moisture; more durable and easier tomaintain and repair than rubber or aluminum.¼" STRUCTURE-WOOD ® DECKINGThis oriented strand board (OSB) from Weyerhaeuser carries a 25year warranty and is used for both the roof deck and interiorceiling panel.PADDED VINYL CEILINGPadded vinyl ceiling panels have a smooth appearance, are easy toclean and provide excellent sound deadening.EPS BLOCK FOAM INSULATIONUsed throughout the coach in every laminated coach bodycomponent. This foam won’t settle or sag like spun fiberglassinsulation. Insulation is up to 6” thick in the roof, and completelysurrounds the coach living areas. It’s even in the floor!5 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTYOn DuraFrame ® and structural components.One year limited warranty on “house”. See warranty booklet for details. Seechassis and installed component manufacturers’ information for their warranties.NOTE: Some components and their locations as shown in this photo may differ slightlyfrom the actual components of the chassis used in any specific Tradewinds motorhome.This photo is intended only as a general representation of the Duraframe Chassis Systemand is not intended to represent actual components and their location.¼" THICK MAHOGANY INTERIOR WALL PANELA thick, firm interior wall surface that’s tough enough to anchor ourcabinetry...and whatever pictures or fixtures you care to hang,wherever you want to hang them. Competitors’ thin interior wallsurfaces “give” when you push them, revealing their weaknessbeneath the surface, with reinforcements built in only wherenecessary to attach cabinets. Our interior wall surfaces are ¼"thick and rigid throughout!HIGH GLOSS GELCOAT EXTERIORExterior sidewall surface is made of a thick, high gloss fiberglassgelcoat sheet that is laminated directly to the sidewall structure.The result is excellent resistance to delamination and long-lastinggreat looks.16 2006 Tradewinds © 2005 NATIONAL RV, INC.
