touch of opulence, Tropi-Cal LX
boasts upgraded interior and
exterior styling as well as several
standard equipment upgrades.

even the most discerning leisure seekers. Step
inside a Tropi-Cal to discover the true meaning of
living space.
National RV’s exclusive DuraSlide™ flush wall slide-out system
provides more than just great looks. It is a testament to the
engineering and quality manufacturing that go into every National
RV motorhome.

Flush Exterior Surface with Slide-Out Closed
With the slide-out fully retracted, the side of the coach has a
smooth, flush surface at the slide-out seal. Double wipers with
integrated bulb seals provide a positive seal even when the slide-out
is in motion, keeping the weather outside and your cozy climate
inside.

Manufacturers who cut costs by building cheaper, less rigid
motorhomes need to hide the resulting gaps and poorer fit by using
a wide, protruding cover along the slide-out seams.

National RV’s careful engineering and tight manufacturing
tolerances are what make the flush slide-out seal possible. The

Fine Dining
ANOTHER NATIONAL RV ADVANTAGE
Genuine Corian® Solid
Surface Counter Tops
Campfires are great for evening socializing. But when
it comes to cooking, nothing beats Tropi-Cal’s fully
equipped, spacious kitchens. Expansive Corian® counter
tops, convection microwave and a huge 12 cubic-foot
double door refrigerator with ice maker make preparing
meals on the road as joyful as at home. You’ll want to
throw out your old “camp recipes” and bring along your
gourmet cookbooks instead!
National RV insists on using only genuine Corian®
solid surface materials on all of our kitchen counter
tops. Other manufacturers cut costs by using
imitation materials or laminates cleverly disguised
with solid edge moldings. But we insist on the real
thing. Nothing is as durable, impervious to stains
and resistant to scratching than genuine Corian®.
In addition to the kitchen counter, Tropi-Cal LX
features genuine Corian® throughout the coach,
including the dinette or dining table top, night stand
tops, lavy cabinet top and bedroom dresser tops.

in durable, beautiful gel coat fiberglass. The roof is
no exception. A durable exterior sheath of fiberglass
reinforced polyester (FRP) is vacuum-bonded directly to
the roof structure. The National RV one-piece fiberglass

ANOTHER NATIONAL RV ADVANTAGE
DuraFrame® Chassis System
ANOTHER NATIONAL RV ADVANTAGE
A Solid Foundation
BUILDING THE INDUSTRY’S BEST COACH BODY COMPONENTS
1 All coach body panels—sidewalls, floor,
roof, rear bulkheads and slide-out boxes—are
framed in rigid, fully welded tubular steel for
superior strength and longevity that other
materials just can’t match.
2 Thick EPS block foam insulation is
precisely fit into the steel framework of every
coach body panel. EPS foam maintains its
integrity over time and won’t settle and sag
like fiberglass blanket insulation does.
and that’s exactly what National RV’s
DuraFrame® Chassis System and all-steel
tubular coach body construction provide. It
Rather than being rigidly welded directly to the chassis
frame rails, Tropi-Cal’s DuraFrame® and coach body
structure rides on a series of elastomeric body mounts
which isolate the coach body from much of the
noise, vibration and harshness generated while
traveling on the road. This system is designed
to reduce noise and vibration while improving
handling and increasing the life expectancy of coach
body components. Take a test drive in a 2006
Tropi-Cal—you will hear and feel the difference!
TUBULAR STEEL FRAME
CROWNED ROOF
The best RV roof in the
business is built with
arched tubular steel
roof trusses. The crowned
roof has radius edges for superior
runoff.
FIBERGLASS ROOF SKIN
all rides on the proven Freightliner® chassis,
REVOLUTIONARY NEW VIBRATION ISOLATION SYSTEM
National RV uses an advanced vacuum lamination process and the
highest quality materials in the construction of the fully insulated
roof, walls and floor.
Stronger and less susceptible to work fatigue than aluminum and
won’t decay like wood.
Every great home needs a solid foundation,
The DuraFrame® Chassis System is specifically engineered
to provide the strength that today’s multiple slide-out
motorhomes require—all within the chassis system itself.
DuraFrame’s all steel, fully welded system of tubular steel
risers, plate steel outriggers and truss-like engineering
provide an abundance of coach strength while enabling
cavernous basement storage spaces. Other manufacturers
rely on the coach sidewalls to absorb much of the stresses of
traveling and carrying the coach’s weight. But the multiple
slide-outs of today’s luxury motorhomes blow huge holes in
that strategy. That’s why the DuraFrame® Chassis System
provides all of the strength necessary to support the coach
within the DuraFrame® structure—below the floor line and
below the slide-outs.
Superior Coach Body
Construction
powered by the legendary Caterpillar® C7*
diesel engine and smooth-shifting Allison®
3 Advanced industrial adhesives are carefully
metered between each layer of the laminated
coach body component. Next the assembly is
vacuum bonded to form a single, impervious
unit that possess all of the qualities of the
input components.
A seamless barrier against moisture; more
durable and easier to maintain and repair
than rubber or aluminum.
4 State of the art computer numerically
controlled (CNC) routers cut window, slide-out
and other openings with amazing precision.
National RV invests heavily in the latest
technologies to ensure quality and efficiency.

• 7.2L displacement
• 350* peak HP @ 2,400 RPM
• 860 lbs./ft. peak torque
• Pac Brake® exhaust brake
5 Completed components are carefully
installed on the main assembly line. Sidewalls
are installed with a unique fastening system
that places the weight of the coach body onto
the tubular steel frame—not on the fasteners
themselves.
*NOTE: The Caterpillar® C7 engine in model T351 is rated for 300 horsepower. Models T330 & T340 feature the 300
horsepower 5.9L Cummins ISB turbo diesel engine.
FREIGHTLINER® XC-SERIES** CHASSIS
The Freightliner® XC-Series chassis features basement-expanding raised rail design**,
smooth-riding air suspension and full air brakes with ABS.
**NOTE: Models T330 & T340 feature the Freightliner XCS straight rail chassis.
¼" STRUCTURE-WOOD®
This oriented strand board (OSB) from Weyerhaeuser carries a
25 year warranty and is used for both the roof deck and interior
ceiling panel.
Used throughout the coach in every laminated coach body
component. This foam won’t settle or sag like
spun fiberglass insulation. Insulation is up
to 5½” thick in the roof, and completely
surrounds the coach living areas. It’s even
in the floor!
¼" THICK MAHOGANY
INTERIOR WALL PANEL
A thick, firm interior wall
surface that’s tough
enough to anchor
our cabinetry—and
whatever pictures or
fixtures you care to hang,
wherever you want to hang them.
Competitors’ thin interior wall
surfaces “give” when you push them,
revealing their weakness beneath the surface,
with reinforcements built in only where necessary to
attach cabinets. Our interior wall surfaces are ¼" thick and rigid
throughout!
HIGH GLOSS GELCOAT EXTERIOR
The exterior sidewall surface is made of a thick, resilient fiberglass
gelcoat sheet that is vacuum laminated to the sidewall structure.
The result is excellent resistance to delamination and long-lasting
great looks.
