While wandering around HWH last week, I spotted a frame jig and most
of a new chassis on the floor being mocked up. Installed was a Cummins
ISL with Allison tranny. A liftable tag axle as well as independent
front end with disk brakes. Construction was bridge style.

The next morning I pigeon holed Paul, the owner of HWH and got some
info. Got more info at lunch with one of the salesmen.

Looks like HWH is going into the chassis/coach business. Although the
shell will be available for RV buildouts, they really are designing
abase for emergency command center, police, mobile health etc use.

Designed primarily for 37-38 foot use and heavy weight carrying
capacity. Both sides will feature full length slideouts.

Seems that this is just what many of you have been clamoring for, a
short, well built chassis/coach.

They don't have an availability date yet, but about a year is most
likely to allow for proper testing.

I think they will be successful with this chassis. HWH has good
engineers and PLENTY of experience with all aspects of handling and RVs.

Thanks for the update Paul. I'll definitely have my eyes peeled
looking for their debut. This is an exciting industry, and definitely one
where creativity and innovation can win over a customer base -
HWH has always been innovative. Our expectations won't be
low. Fuel efficiency, regenerative braking, aerodynamic efficiency,
structural integrity (with full slides), performance, and price point.
Not a small challenge, but lots of possibilities. More power to
them. Great to see another player.
