Hi Geoff..

Alko chassiss are, as said above, retro fitted by the motorhome manufacturer and they are lower and usually longer(with possibly with a  longer wheelbase?), than the original factory chassis they replace.

Suspension-wise, they use a *torsion beam/spring arrangement, rather than leaf springs(* I fully expect to be put right,on the correct "terminology" )

If you are after the spec' of a specific vehicle/model then you'd to check the "weight plate" for axle weights etc...and/or get it looked at by someone who knows their MH "undercarriages"

As it's an older vehicle, the Alko side would need checking out properly anyway, as I believe that they can be expensive to "service" if they have "sagged" or have been neglected(not greased correctly etc)
