- When Jeff asked us if we wanted to take a test drive in this awesome RV I jumped on the opportunity! I thought I would be shaken up if I had to drive one of these but it didnt seem too bad!

it is evident by reading a lot of these comments that most people have never driven a large vehicle. this engine is not as loud as you think, the microphone on the camera is very sensitive and most people are listening to music when driving anyways. the lines on the windshield are great because the large windshields always have a defrost problem just because the sheer size. safety is huge in these rigs and repairs are much cheaper and quicker because you can go to any truck stop and get service done. engine oil bypass units can be added to these engines very easily which enables you to stretch your oil changes to sometimes 50,000 miles and anyone who has had their oil changed on their rv usually says holy crap that was expensive. as for the price tag that was msrp if you are to stupid to negotiate a MUCH lower price than you probably shouldn't be purchasing an RV anyways you get what you pay for i just looked at a Jayco super C and it was pure garbage. their is a reason Haulmark has been around for a long time and are used a lot by Nascar teams they are very powerful and can haul a double stacker trailer very easily.
I'm thinking one like that would be the kind you'd pass on down to your grandkids! Strong, well built.
That Haulmark with VNL Chassis, sure's gonna be great!
I drove a Volvo for a living. It's an amazing truck. Left only over here we don't have those latest VNL,(it used to have NL in the 70's & early 80's) but now they only have COE Volvo in the market. But still all the same features. I-Shift automated transmission is the best at it's own class.
Safety is always the core value in Volvo Trucks. Love this video, Chris.
Greetings from Penang Malaysia.
Been surfing a few RV channels, and you two are definitely my favorites by far.
Jeff did an exceptional presentation! Nice vid, y'all!
I'll be happy to wait for a lightly used, heavily discounted model.
This setup is awesome... When I get my hands on this talk about saying goodbye to negative people and hello to my life
My husband and I will be going to an RV show here in Atlanta on Friday, 1/23/15, and the first thing spitting from our mouths will be, "where are your Super Cs?" Thanks Chris, thanks G, and SUPER thanks Volvo guy for sharing your knowledge!!!
Wanda Ann Let me know how it goes and enjoy the show!
Winning the Lotto would make this possible for sure.
Jim Fariello Haha, ditto!
DITTO, Jim!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Fariello i watch these videos and play every lotto, i've worked 37 years and i'm ready to retire, get SS in 7 years... :(
Jim Fariello i think both of us sharing the same dream
Jim Fariello Or saving our pop bottle return money instead of spending it on Bazooka Joe . . .
Not a bad stealth van...........
Thanks for sharing, excellent report.
Happy trails and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great tour. I may be able to get one used...when its about 20 years old!
n9owp Haha, same, I don't see these things losing any value soon.
This guy knows Volvo! Great demonstration!!
Awesome thanks for sharing 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
It's really awesome, really awesome, awesome!
Great coach! Really do like those Haulmark's...Between them and Dynamax & Renegade...folks who tend to gravitate towards these specific motorhomes have their work cut out in determining which one to go with!
MotorhomeReviews Yeah we thought it was awesome too!
~G
Great video, lots of good info on the Super C Motorhome.
BetterWorldGuitar Thanks!
That is one bad ass motor home. Like the white color. Makes me want to sell my house and get out of here. I would be very happy in that, I just want a large bathroom with a real nice shower set up. Thanks for sharing.
+Chris & G Travels did he say this was a 1,000,000 mile chassis? Aka the same structural integrity of a Prevost bus conversion?
not bad at all. I'm a boondocker type so I'd love to live full time in one of these.
Great design. And there's always the "Skoolie" conversion for the poor man's Super-C.
Great editing! You have knack for it.
R/V Footprints Thanks :-)
this is an awesome motor coach. I would like to have one of these. the safety features are really something. I highly give this a thumbs up.
Would have been more impressed if he mentioned that the radar collision avoidance system kicked in before the RV hit the salt trucks, but we can't have everything for only half a million $!
Oh yes this is a "Home is my castle-vehicle"
Cool beans ...... very nice !!!!
I've owned Class A's, B's and C's and while I enjoyed my Class C's for Vacationing... Class A's are the way to go for Fulltiming. But hey, if I could afford $500k plus, I'd have one heck of a Class A lol Enjoy your Channel and am looking forward to getting back on the road fulltime again this year.
can't wait to get our rig next year
Wow Chris--very nice--but 500K-not even in my dreams--Can't wait to see your new one on the road
VAMJJ I am super excited, counting down the days.
i'd love one of these volvo trucks are great as i can swear to as i've driven loads here in the uk
That is my standard for living on the road.
g is sooooo cute and adorable I want to put her in my pocket lol. chris be good to her you are a very lucky man!!! Thanks for all the entertainment guys!! Awesome stuff!!
I'll take a Super C, if I can get it with the Class A interior. Super C interiors can't touch Kingaire, Foretravel Realm/IH45, or any Prevost.
Indeed .. think I will save a little longer and get a Super C ... I love all the features and it just feels more secure against the elements and , of course, the dreaded zombie attack .. Lol ... thanks for the information - keep up the good work !
Kelly Sheridan Hahaha, i was actually thinking about how its zombie proof during the tour.
I hear ya .. man !
woot shout out to tampa florida !!!! love the super c also !!!
The one draw back for the C class motor homes is that many RV parks will not allow them or have very stringent rules about what's allowed. I've called several parks and was told the unit has to be 10 years old or newer, the truck seat area has to the same level as the living area and there's no bunk or sleeping area above the cab. These parks always allow a Class A "Bus type" .
And people who like such snobby RV parks are welcome to stay in them! Looks like you could boondock in this thing for two weeks or more if you wanted to and ignore Ms. Picky RV manager. Probably have better scenery too!
Must be nice to have the kind of money that these things cost. Could only ever dream of something this nice. Beautiful rig, that's for damn sure.
The thing that makes the difference is the black lines across the lower windshield. Very nice touch. Are they on the TV too ?
was one of the windows down in this video? cuz the sound of the engine was matching perfectly with the volume that you were all talking at.
makes me wonder if the window was up, how loud that engine would be in the cab if the window was down.
The Volvo brand is the BEST in the industry whether car or truck. Spacious inside even with the slides in....just wonderful! I was sold when I purchased my first Volvo 740 Turbo back in 1991. I also owned a Volvo 244DL Turbo. You could not be any safer then the Volvo brand.
Wow beautiful
Tnx Chris!
real nice. Me and my fiancee plan on buying one soon.
I have 2 class 8 Volvo burn too the ground. All were engine fires!
Great truck (RV). Does have duel fuel tanks? What is the capacity of the tanks? Are there any additional options that can be added on, including options from Volvo?
+bohemoth1 ..this particular one had 70 gallon duals, according to the sales guy in the video...you can special order them up to 150 gallons.
What is the price of a basic shell with no furnishings or décor, and only roughed in plumbing and electric. I want to design my own, and I don't want any more than 30'.
Does it come in a toy hauler configuration?
now thats a beast
bigwoody38 team woody Haha, yes sir!
so do I need a cdl to drive a super c
12:48 OMG :D
Great work you did own the video, I would love to have one but I am about a dollar short . LOL. you to take care, (keep your wheels rolling)
Rusty Nail Will do and ya, im a few bucks short as well!
Could it handle a constant pull of 1500 watts through an outlet going down a hwy? I want one of these but my 1500watt power supply in my gaming desktop might heavy object.
+David Vermillion If not I am sure you can have one custom installed.
Chris & G Travels You don't install a desktop you just stick it in there. I'm asking if the vehicle could handle constantly having to power such a beast. My desktop is one of those very expensive gaming desktops.
Cool bed rooms in a bus .
How do you shift the gears, it sounds like you are letting off the throttle like a manual.
+Andrew Gems ...it's automatic.
From Iowa I love playing Euchre
Oh I do like!!!
Need to set up the i shift box, taking too long to change.
+Peter Wright That is pretty much as fast as an automated manual non-syncroed tranny can shift. It has to wait for the engine speed to drop before it can complete the shift.
can this motor home have a manual transmission because I don't like automatics in trucks the automatics don't like hills at all I'm a little old school but I prefer a straight ten is it possible to have a manual transmission in that beast I like it
If i would be buying an RV i would definitely buy something like this on a truck chassis instead of a bus/coach type chassis. Truck chassis are stronger and trucks are more dependable then a custom built coach/bus type. I really like the Volvo type chassis but i would settle for Freightliner, Kenworth or Peterbuilt, but my first choice would defintely be a Volvo chassis. Maybe it's time for me to finally buy something and hit the road. I just need to find some girl to go with me because i just broke up with my girlfriend two months ago, and as soon as i find a good gal that loves traveling and wouldn't mind living in an RV and me loving the RV little bit more then her then i am available. LoL. If i do find a good gal then i will be going straight to an RV dealership. Hope to see you on the road soon. :-).
PS: Wish you safe and happy travels C&G.
Definitely need more insulation against noise. That would be a killer for me. Also in this video if they would have mounted the camera so that you were not looking between the heating elements for the windshield would have been a major improvement. They could have done a far better production.
From what I've heard the engine noise in this video is louder than what it actually is in person because of a sensitive mic or something.
Do you need a CDL license to drive this rig? And where can one look into purchasing one? Is there a dealership website available?
+MontiR Aruba ...some states require class 'A' license for anything 26k lbs or more...check with your particular state. Google it.
I love VOLVO ..see my row of classic Volvos in my 1958 gmc rare 2 window shorty bus video :)
Wow Wow Wow...
VOLVO - The best thing since sliced bread :D
+geoffdundee I want one!
Chris & G Travels ....... we all do :) - VOLVO for life ........ im Volvo daft regards cars but the truck is gorgeous - i could listen to the engine sounds allday........would definitely feel like a king of the road driving it too.
+geoffdundee And idiot - the worst thing over a bigoted racist.
oh shut up hater...
Fussinated .....FUCKS i do not give
OMG that thing is HUGE!! lol
Could you show G in a g string?
have u ever travel through iowa
Maybe it's just me but the engine sounds a little loud in the cab compared to the DP's I have driven. I know it's due to the engine being located in the front in stead of the rear but I thought that was one of the advantages of driving a DP.
timp410 Ya, if you get the rear engine dp it is. Its give and take though just like with everything else.
Chris Travels Thanks for clarifying Chris. I do like the easy access to the engine. However, I could never afford one of these monsters. I do love watching the videos.
WOW super C is AWESOME
Rob Steinhauer Yes sir!
That is some serious coin. Then 8-9 mpg plus def. Not on my budget, lol. Cool video.
The New York Rican Ya, that will add up quickly.
Chris Travels many of the features that he is suggesting are available on other Euro style trucks. It's just that you don't get to see them on your US based rigs.
I can think of Daimler-Benz, Scania, Paccar-DAF and Iveco that offer a complete driveline from each respective manufacturer. Some even offer more features, like lane assist, keeping a set distance behind another vehicle on cruise and most Euro trucks are just more quiet and comfortable.
Seems he is just a good Volvo salesman.
+Michael Tucker In Europe the trucks are much small than the trucks in the US. It took them to reprogram the transmission completely so that it can work with the high out put American diesel engines. And of course, there is no way trusting a European company about its product quality since they love to cheat.
Fussinated really? As if Volvo don't make programs for their trucks to suit other conditions!
One of my regular drives is a 600hp Mack with the 12 speed Volvo automated shifter. Totally different in driving style to the cabover Volvo FH series and I have those to drive as well.
Michael Tucker
“really?”
Really!
“As if Volvo don't make programs for their trucks to suit other conditions!”
As if the trucks in Europe needs such programming.
“One of my regular drives is a 600hp Mack with the 12 speed Volvo automated shifter. Totally different in driving style to the cabover Volvo FH series and I have those to drive as well.”
“Mack” says it all, right there.
*****
OOOOPS! FH16 750 is a VOLVO and VOLVO learned how to make trucks after they bought MACK TRUCKS.
Unfortunately you did not know this fact. :).
Fussinated remember the joint venture between Mack and Scania to develop the V8? Still sounds great to hear one.
Chill out Walter from the Big Labowski lol.
i looked for you at the RV show but did not see you ... guess i mist you on your test drive LOL
falcon7350 Haha, maybe, that place was so huge I am surprised anyone could track anyone down.
12:36 lol someone found a shortcut
lol somebody fucked up and said no problem i has a truck
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!
How much does this rig cost?
THATS MY KIND OF RV
What do that cost?
lovely though
Awesome. Just wondering if there is a difference in this truck and the truck used for long haul freight. Sounds like maybe a different transmission, 12 speed vrs. 18, anything else?
mowguy fudd not too sure, I wish i would have asked!
+mowguy fudd they are the same. Those 12 gears only accounts for the forward gears too. Its 12 gears also when using the 750 HP engine. Would be cool to put that engine in this rig.
750 hp, that will get you over the hills
That is the first EVER demo I have seen on a super. AWESOME, now THAT'S a rig! The only thing I didn't hear about, Do you have to follow the "truck" routes? Does this have to go through weight stations or, because it's a private RV you don't need to do that?
+n3qdz No weigh stations...the only thing you may have to be concerned with is the class of license; this being over 26,000 lbs, a Class 'A' license is required by some states to drive this rv. Check with your particular state.
Awesome dude. I want one i want one NOW lol
Destination Unknown Haha, me too, now I just need the cash to do so!
Hey mate all good things come to those that wate. Hope you enjoy your class A. Once you get moved in :)
510000 smackers WOW! For that I can have a house with a basement, and a garage!
Andrew Gems You're right about that, but at the same time you can't take your home anywhere in the country that you want to either. ;-)
Wayne Hodge True that, Wayne. You can take your home anywhere for a lot less coin but Andrew Gems needs to widen his horizons and expand his possibilities. We go ;-D
+Andrew Gems ...just can't DRIVE 'your' 2x4's around! Lol.
Some might think that you should (read deserve) to get busted for distracted driving - but that kind of says something about the ride quality, depends on how one looks at such things, yes friend?
is necessary a professional driver license to drive it?
This video is edited strangely. After the come back and stop the guy is giving information about the gauges and the trip computer, but you are asking questions that does not match the picture ....... Alright it turned back to normal again with the picture.
one day I will own one....
That is a Semi with a camper on the back . Actually it has more HP and torque than the International Semi I drove when on the road. I'm guessing $175,000 ?
I don't understand how that is not a Class A with the air brakes ?
1stofer Close, this model was the 450,000 model. It was the "top of the line"
It s where ?
I like the idea of a truck chassis but of course the pro for safety long nose is the also a negative because it can not be used for anything else. Really don't like the look of the truck and this is meant for towing a trailer. You don't really need a 12 speed, tandems and 40,000 tow capacity for an RV. Great for Nascar guys with stacker trailers but overkill for visit Mount Rusmore. Single rear axle, with a 55 degree cut, 4X4 optional with a length of 30 feet would be enough for me.
Then get one of the cheaper Renegades that start at around $250k they have single rear axle, decent wheel cut(don't know exact number), 20k capacity and come in a smaller size.
...and who need a Lamborghini 230 mph machine?
The owners of this rig are happy, that's all that matters imho.
Drives well but I thought we were going to take a tour of the back of the van
Dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last days :)
@Madden Karter yup, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)
Oh wow and atomadic to
I will buy that when I grow up cause I am still 8 years old
The thing he brags about with Volvo is also a problem with Volvo. Unless you happen to luck upon a Volvo mechanic on the road. What you want is what most truckers are running at the time you buy your Super C. That way any truck stop is familiar with it and can help you.
sounds like a semi and what is up with the lines on the windshield that would be very distracting. the price tag is way more than I would ever pay to just have a mobile rv home.
+TheRosa63 The lines are windshield viper blade defrosters for cold weather. And the price is a bargain for a 45 foot Class A motorcoach.
wish I could aford one
spelling usually helps income over time
Killer legs! Was there a vehicle in the video?
csu111 be
Volvo is known to be the or one of the safest in the industry. But this NOISY!.This doesnt seem to have a smooth ride as an RV should have, not at all. Safe truck? Yes. its a truck of trucks. Not RV mellowness.
BTW, at 25:40 the video and audio are not working together. He is showing and pointing to guages and stuff while he is talking some things else. Dont get me wrong, this video is appreciated actually.
That is S....W...E....E...T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ 7:51.....that turn signal is crazy loud.......
That thing is a monster
