2005 Country Coach Magna 630 2005 Country Coach Magna Rembrandt 2005 Country Coach Magna has expansive, one-piece windshield to its 525-horsepower Caterpillar C-13 engine, this luxurious motorhome crafted by Country Coach Inc. is easy to drive, easy to like, and easy on the eyes. The Magna's 18-inch Smart Wheel telescopes in and out and tilts up and down. Buttons on this steering wheel activate the cruise control, the windshield wiper and washer, the headlights when passing (and when indicating clearance for passing 18-wheelers), and the clearance lights to use when thanking drivers in passed vehicles. The buttons are located in both arms of the wheel. The large center pad on the wheel sounds the coach's air horns. In addition to being able to relocate the wheel for more comfortable driving, the driver can move the floor pedals forward and rearward electrically. A driver must remember that the 525-horsepower Cat engine is moving a significant amount of weight (in excess of 45,000 pounds), so he or she must be patient while the coach builds up speed. Once the motorhome is rolling down the highway, though, just set the cruise control, lean back, and relax "? the Magna almost drives itself. (Country Coach officials note that since our test outing, Caterpillar has retrofitted the turbochargers on Cat C13 engines, which has resulted in a significant improvement to the engine's 0-to-10-mph start.) The DynoMax semimonocoque chassis shell is forged from steel tubing. Each junction is welded, ensuring strength and durability. In addition, the semimonocoque architecture integrates the chassis and bay structures, dispersing the overall structural stress level throughout the chassis. The Magna's independent front suspension (IFS) system prevents bumps, dips, and other roadway irregularities from being transmitted from one side of the coach to the other and virtually eliminates oversteer and understeer.
