1 The Ambassador features a gutsy standard Cummins® ISC 360 diesel engine with 1,050 lbs./ft. of torque.2 A steel cage cockpit gives the Roadmaster chassis incomparable strength and safety in the front of the coach.3 Every Roadmaster chassis features a steel firewall for added protection in the cockpit.4 The main rails feature an exclusive raised rail design which provides for larger full pass-through storage bays with flush floors. Other highlights include a 3/8” thick frame rail — compared to the 1/4” of other manufacturers — and a stacked aluminum intercooler and radiator for optimum heat transfer and cooling.5 Dual fuel fill allows you to fill the tank from either side of the coach, for greater convenience and flexibility at the pump. 6 This steel truss system is engineered as part of the chassis and provides outstanding strength and rigidity plus pass-through storage. In addition, the structure is pre-primed and coated with a rust-inhibiting paint.7 Eight air bags work in conjunction with eight gas-charged shock absorbers to prevent road trauma from ever reaching the coach.
Ride height sensors continually adjust the air pressure at each axle to maintain a level ride and eliminate nosediving, weight transfer, and floating on curved roads. This system also stabilizes the coach on uneven surfaces.8 Automatic Traction Control (ATC) eliminates wheel slippage in slick conditions and heightens control. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) gives you superior stopping power, especially on steep grades. Together, these sophisticated systems offer the very best safety on the road. 9 Allison® 3000 MH 6-Speed World Transmission and electronic shifter. The three-point engine mounting system lowers the coach’s center of gravity and reduces the amount of vibration that reaches the coach. The mounting also makes the engine easier to service.
A 10,000 lb. tow hitch rating is the highest in its class.

* Towing capacity is limited by GCWR; your vehicle’s towing capacity is the difference between the GCWR and the actual vehicle weight, including all water, fuel, passengers and cargo. Your towed vehicle should be equipped with auxiliary brakes if the weight of the towed vehicle exceeds 1,000 lbs. Consult your owner’s manual for further towing information.
** All tank capacities are estimated based upon calculations provided by the tank manufacturers and represent approximate capacities. The actual “usable capacity” may be greater or less than the estimated capacities based upon fabrication and installation of the tanks.
*** Actual filled LP capacity is 80% of listing due to safety shut-off required on tank.
The actual overall length of the recreational vehicle may differ from that indicated in the brochure due to variances in the manufacturing process and/or installed components. The actual length may be greater or less than that indicated. Due to the large variety of options and floorplan arrangements available to our customers, actual weights for each unit can differ significantly. Holiday Rambler provides a weight sticker on each unit we produce which includes that unit’s tank capacities and approximate weight. Consult your local Holiday Rambler dealer for unit availability and further information. The information printed in this brochure reflects product design, fabrication, and component parts at the date of printing. The manufacturer reserves the right, at any time, to make changes in product design or material or component specifications as its sole option, without notice. This includes the substitution of components of a different brand or trade name which will result in comparable performance. All information printed in this brochure is subject to change after the date of printing. Some features shown or mentioned in this brochure are optional and may only be available in selected floorplans. Photographs may show props or decorations that are not standard equipment on Holiday Rambler models. Holiday Rambler, the Holiday Rambler logo and its design, are registered trademarks. All other products and company names are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of their respective holders. While the color of the motorhome’s exterior and the interior fabrics depicted in this sales brochure are fair and reasonable depictions, the colors depicted may not be an exact match of the actual colors because of the variances in photo-processing and variances caused by inserting the photographs within the sales brochure. Due to product improvements, changes during the model year and/or transcription errors that may occur, information represented within this brochure may not be accurate at the time of your purchase. If certain information is significant to your purchasing decision, please confirm the information with your dealer prior to submitting your order. Component part and appliance manufacturers issue limited warranties covering those portions of the recreational vehicle not covered by the Limited Warranties issued by Monaco Coach Corporation. To learn which specific component parts and appliances are excluded from the Limited Warranties issued by Monaco Coach Corporation, please contact your selling dealership or Monaco Coach Corporation directly, or review the warranty packet inside the recreational vehicle.
