Spartan RV Chassis will display its new Tri-Pod Steering Wheel at the 2022 Hershey America’s Largest RV Show this week.
The Tri-Pod Steering Wheel is a hub for driving features and instrumentation, enhancing safety and convenience by placing controls at the driver’s fingertips, the company said.
The Tri-Pod Steering Wheel’s features and placement differ between motorhome manufacturers but can include windshield wiper controls, phone and media controls, steering assist functions, graphic instrument cluster navigation, cruise control and more.
“We believe luxury means safety – you should never have to sacrifice one for the other,” said Steve Guillaume, president of Shyft Specialty Vehicles. “Introducing new innovation like the Tri-Pod Steering Wheel and our Premier Drive proprietary chassis system is part of how we deliver on our mission of providing systems and solutions that give our customers peace of mind, so they can enjoy the journey as much as the destination.”
The Tri-Pod Steering Wheel is standard on certain 2023 Entegra, Foretravel and Newmar models. The steering wheel integrates with a 15-inch, anti-glare digital dash. The digital dash can receive notifications from the Spartan RV Chassis Advanced Protection System, a suite of comprehensive safety technology.
“This addition to our product portfolio will offer RV owners a convenient information management center that enriches their luxury driving experience, further integrating them with our technologies and their environment,” Guillaume said.
The release follows the May release of Premier Drive, a proprietary chassis system delivering improved handling. The system features an all-new independent front suspension, with custom-tuned shocks for bump absorption and enhanced wheel cut to improve maneuverability.
