Country Coach introduces the all-new Rhapsody 900 Motorcoach

Junction City, OR — Country Coach, Inc. (CCI) has proudly announced the release of the all-new Rhapsody 900. The Rhapsody 900 joins an unparalleled line of motorcoaches.

The Rhapsody 900 boasts a uniquely unprecedented list of highly luxurious features and amenities. The Rhapsody 900 is the result of the devoted and passionate efforts of Country Coach and Caterpillar engineers who worked closely for over a year to develop the proper power train for the Rhapsody motorcoach. With 625HP and 2050 lb/ft torque, the 15.2L CAT C15 engine teams with the newly-minted CAT CX Series transmission for optimal results. This torque curve is achieved with six speeds in a smooth and easy driving world transmission, allowing the driver to push “D” for Drive, step on the gas, and never think about shifting again.

The DynoMax steel chassis boasts slide rooms measuring lengths of 15’-plus, 13’-plus, and two at 11’-plus, each featuring aluminum internal construction, near-zero tolerance flush fit design and aircraft-type inflatable seals. With a 54,000 pound GVWR, including an amazing 20,000-pound front axle, and a 20,000-pound towing capacity the chassis offers a solid foundation, unprecedented handling, and enviable maneuverability.

In the front of the coach is the new Liquid Spring independent front suspension with smooth, responsive handling and independent travel of each wheel, offers 20,000 pounds carrying capacity. In the rear just in front of solid Ridewell drive axle suspension is a tag axle never seen before in a luxury motorcoach. Imported from the Netherlands, this steerable tag is designed for the tight corners and small parking areas on the European roadways. Using forced-steer drive-by-wire technology, a finger’s move of the driver turns the axle with none of the pushback of other systems. The Weweler steerable tag in tandem with the Liquid Spring IFS gives this 45-foot motorcoach an astounding 36’5” turning radius.

The all-new Rhapsody 900 touts beautifully textured exterior full bus paint, and entry door with air-over-center function which moves directly out from the opening, then swings gently to the left for entry. With wide, turning entryway stairs and a completely customized residential suite, the living area of the Rhapsody is an experience in and of itself. By means of a sculpted galley, the floorplan transitions past a half bath and into the bedroom where an angled bed accentuates room space and livability. Beyond the bed and walk-in storage area is the rear full bath where the ceiling steps up as you do for maximum spacious living and one-of-a-kind luxury. The Rhapsody must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
