As one of the oldest and most trusted names in the RV industry, Coachmen motorhomes are a staple of the American road, offering a range of models from the iconic Leprechaun Class C to the luxurious Sportscoach diesel pusher. These RVs are built on proven, reliable chassis from Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, and Ram. At Brisbon Automotive, we provide expert chassis repair and maintenance for the entire Coachmen motorized lineup. From heavy-duty wheel alignments and diesel engine service to complex brake repairs, our skilled technicians in North Raleigh have the expertise to service your Coachmen’s chassis and keep your travels safe.
Coachmen Models We Service (Chassis Only)
Brisbon Automotive provides specialized repair and maintenance services focused exclusively on the automotive chassis utilized by Coachmen’s motorhomes. We handle all aspects of the drivetrain (engine, transmission), suspension, braking, and electrical systems that keep your RV moving safely and reliably.

Available Services and Repairs for Coachmen Motorhomes
Your Coachmen motorhome is a trusted companion for your travels, and its chassis requires consistent, expert service. We are fully equipped to service all chassis platforms used by Coachmen, including the Ford E-Series, Ford F-53, Chevrolet 4500, Freightliner, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Ram ProMaster.
Preventative Maintenance
From the workhorse Ford E-450 chassis on a Leprechaun to the efficient Mercedes-Benz diesel in a Galleria, we provide the specific preventative maintenance your chassis requires. This includes manufacturer-scheduled oil and filter changes, fuel system inspections, chassis lubrication, and comprehensive fluid checks for brakes, coolant, and transmission to protect your investment.
Brake System Repairs
Stopping a fully-loaded motorhome safely is our top priority. We specialize in the heavy-duty hydraulic and hydro-boost brake systems found on most Class C and gas Class A models. We also service the full air brake systems on Sportscoach diesel pushers. Our service ensures reliable stopping power by inspecting calipers, replacing pads and rotors, and performing complete brake fluid flushes.
Engine and Transmission Services
Whether you have a Ford “Godzilla” V8, a legacy V10, a Ram V6, or a Mercedes-Benz diesel, our technicians have the diagnostic tools for all check engine light issues. We also service the heavy-duty automatic transmissions (like the Allison and TorqShift) they are paired with, ensuring your powertrain is reliable for the long haul.
Suspension and Steering System Maintenance
A long trip in a Class C can be tiring if the steering is wandering. We specialize in inspecting and replacing steering stabilizers, heavy-duty shocks, and leaf spring bushings to provide a stable, controlled ride. Our state-of-the-art heavy-duty alignment rack can perform a precise alignment on your Coachmen, preventing uneven tire wear.
Cooling System Maintenance
Motorhome engines operate under constant, heavy loads. We protect them from overheating by servicing the entire cooling system. This includes pressure-testing the radiator for leaks, replacing water pumps or thermostats before they fail, and inspecting all drive belts and radiator hoses to ensure you are protected on long trips.
Electrical System Diagnostics and Repairs
We focus on the 12-volt automotive-grade systems that start your engine and power your drive, not the 120-volt “house” systems. Our technicians test and replace chassis batteries, diagnose failing alternators and starters, and troubleshoot all factory lighting, dash controls, and instrument panel warning lights.
Exhaust System Repairs
We ensure your Coachmen’s exhaust system is safe, quiet, and efficient. Our technicians inspect for manifold leaks, damaged pipes, and failing mufflers. We also service the catalytic converter and emissions components on your Ford, Chevy, or Ram chassis to keep you running clean and in compliance.
Tire Services
Tires on an RV often fail from age before they fail from wear. We check all tire date codes and inspect for sidewall cracking, which is a major safety hazard. Our shop is equipped with heavy-duty balancers and mounting machines to handle the high-ply, load-rated tires your Coachmen requires.
DEF System Maintenance (for Diesel Engines)
For diesel-powered Coachmen like the Sportscoach, Entourage, and Sprinter-based models, a functional Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system is vital. We provide complete DEF system service, including diagnostics for dash warnings, DEF fluid refills, and addressing issues with heaters or sensors to prevent a vehicle derate.
