|'''1980''' - This is the first year Ridewell air suspension was added to the standard equipment. However, some early 1980 units still had leaf spring suspension. Offered in 3 lengths - 31', 33' and 35'. These models ran a naturally aspirated (NA) Caterpillar 3208 @ 210 hp, Allison automatic 4-speed MT-643 and had leaf spring suspension. All models could be ordered with either a side or rear bath. There are two generator variants, a 7.5kW Kohler gasoline generator on the 31' and 33' models and a 12.5 kW Kohler diesel generator on the 35' model. Note: there were several early units delivered in 1977 units that still ran a gas engine.<nowiki/>'''''<nowiki/>''<nowiki/>'''
