While browsing through my "Forward Control Models 1985 Chevrolet Owners and Driver's Manual" (do I not have anything better to do? ), I see that GM refers to that chassis as a 'P30032'. So, what is it? A P30, or a P32, or a P30032?

HAH!


My orange 1986 Chevrolet Motor Home Chassis Service Guide, says nothing on the cover or title page about Pee-Anything. However, on page 1-1, it says "P30 is the series and size class used for motor homes and is available in four wheelbases." 125, 137 158.5 and 178 inches.

Score one for Pee thirty guys.

Now, on page 3-2, it gives different front end alignment specs for P 30 and "MOTOR HOME (32)" The caps and parentheses are from the manual. The P20 andP30 have the same caster, and the "MOTOR HOME (32)" has more. Toe-in is not even listed for a P30, just the "MOTORHOME (32)"

Score one for the P32 team.

Further on, mention is made of P series motor home chassis, saying neither 30 nor 32. Also listed is a rear U bolt chart with only P30 mentioned, no P32. A couple of other charts similarly ignore the mention of P32.

I will not try to make any sense of this. I do suspect, however, that a tech writer or two dropped the ball here and there in the compiling of this manual.

Chev gave up completely on the cover of their (green)1995 manual, just saying, "P chassis". Inside, there are the usual confusing mentions of both P30 and P32, with the addition of a P3 chassis.

I just glanced through the "Document for Incomplete Vehicle" that GM supplied with the chassis. In several places it mentions the P32 when referring to the "Bare Chassis".

Score a BIG ONE for the P32 team.

Since this GM publication is intended expressly for the bodyless chassis, I would take it as a very credible source. The only mention of P30 is way in the back for emissions on vehicles of under 8500 GVW.

I still say that I have a Pee-something-or-other and let the experts at the parts counters tell me what I have

Scroll down a little on this thread: http://barthmobile.com/eve/for...981061361#7981061361

After all of this, as my signature says, mine is a PeeThirty-something.

"Bodyless chassis"
Reminds me of myself when I look in the mirror! Just think, I used to be Charles Atlas!!
