I'm looking at an older CC that has a Gillig chassis.
Since Gillig has been out of RV chassis business for a while, are parts/service still available for this chassis?

Tom;

I contacted Gillig about 2 years ago and they still had the blueprints on my Gillig chassis mfg. in 95. Expensive, but I need a oil cooler and they had it.

Tom: I have a Gillig on a 94 Concept and I was able to get parts twice. I am pretty sure all the chasis are used on other vehicles such as buses and heavy duty delivery trucks. Barrie Boas 94 Concept 5111

Gillig is still in business. Google gillig.com and you will find it.

Gillig is still in business.

I have contacted them on two issues with no response on their part.

Thanks for the contact info. Perhaps my problem was that I was not looking for parts on one occasion.
I was trying to get the GCVW rating for my rig. That number was not available from CC. They referred me to Gillig who initially acted interested but could not/did not provide any info.

Perhaps I did not pressure them enough....

Your GVWR is 31,680 so your GCVWR totals 36,680. If we can be of any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you, James Jordan Technical Service Representative Country Coach Service Department
