2005 M450 on Ebay

Hi Greg,

See, I don't know for sure what the failures were. I know there were several accidents and I think they were attributed to steer tire failure, but I don't know if that's the full story. I'm not sure if there were any precipitating mechanical failure. Maybe Ross can tell us but I have a feeling due to the ongoing lawsuits much of this information is sealed or under gag order. The other problem is that mostly all of the M450 issues are handled on Dan Sunderland's private email list, so we have limited to no visibility. I don't know if the failed coaches were all overweight at the time of the failure or if they had their Hadley suspension systems operational, or if they were running with grossly under inflated tires, etc, etc. So, it's next to impossible to comment without resorting to a lot of speculation. I do know that the weights, weight distribution, and wheelbase of the M450 is very similar to my H3 and my H3 does very little in the way of porpoising, but I also know that my H3 has more suspension travel and softer suspension.
