CHARLESTON’S COMMITMENT TO QUALITY.

It is both quality of construction materials and innovative engineering techniques that have set

the Charleston apart from the competition. Charleston’s extraordinary amount of strong, tubular steel

is integrated with the chassis to form the basis of our uni-body, “steel cage” construction. With this ultra-strength steel

skeleton as a foundation, Charleston’s engineers have utilized superior vacuum-bond lamination

processes that make our floor, sidewall and roof systems the strongest, most durable in the industry.

By taking the time to integrate each structural component with both the chassis and each other, we are drastically

improving the Charlestons’s ability to take the wear and tear of road travel. This means that each

Charleston is built to stand the test of time – from the inside out! 18
