Alko chassis

[Simon Meadwell]

How can you tell which chassis you have?

 

[SandraL]

On the uk nearside , looking from just in front of rear wheel there is a small plate, about 25 by 30mm fixed to the alko chassis by shock absorber. It is often covered in road muck and difficult to see or read.
This on 2013 alko axle lhd hymer.

Is it not on the alko vin plate with the axle weights as well?
We also had an alko coc with the info on it.

When you find your Alko VIN plate...

Your type number is on the bottom. Ours is AMC35L.

Uprating etc..

My 2005 Hymer B584 Classic is on a Maxi chassis but with 15" wheels presumably specified by Hymer. Didn't realise X244 were different to X250's.

I havent got one of those plates so presume its fiat. If i post a picture will you folks be able to tell me ?

Al-ko don't have leaf springs, instead they have a torsion bar axle suspension.
That may help you identify which you have

Not Alko, standard fiat axle and leaf spring.

 

[pappajohn]

Alko chassis is galvanised, Fiat chassis is painted.
There is a joint below the back of the cab where the Alko and Fiat parts are bolted together.
The front under-cab section is always Fiat

Thanks

Am I right in thinking that the single leaf spring is for the light chassis and the twin spring is for the maxi chassis. Also can the maxi chassis go up to 4500kg without modification?
