I found this site because I'm looking for more information about the Europremier. I just purchased a 1993 Firan/Champion Europremier to my knowledge I'm the third owner. The engine is sound and the last owner was a diesel mechanic so most of the engine replaceable parts have been done by the last owner.

I will upload the pictures of the motorhome once I get back home. The sides are yellowed and to make matters worse the last owner clearcoated part of the right side to prevent further yellowing but did not fix the problem first.

The interior is in good condition just needs to be cleaned up.

Their are no manuals for this coach so if anyone has any information on common parts or how to's that would be a great help.

I hope to meet you soon, or see you on the campgrounds.

I hope matt.ahern, This forum will prove helpful for you to know about Europremier. I will also help you about it, If I will get any information. I am a big lover of traveling and explore many places for it. I love my hobby and can't live without it. I want to know about your favorite places in the world.

Hi Matt, welcome to ClassicRV.net!! That is soooo cool you found a good used Europremier! We love ours!

The combination of Spartan Chassis, Cummins Diesel and Champion/Firan craftsmanship, design and layout really work well for us. The fact that Champion/Firan is out of business and most of their old records were lost in a big fire is a bummer but Spartan Chassis is still alive and well and has many of the important records and still carries parts. This forum was founded for the purpose of helping each other restore, maintain and enjoy these beautiful old coaches. I have many manuals that may help and will be working on scanning them this winter to post here on the forum for download. In the mean time if you have any questions please post.

Check this out for starters:

Hi Josh, I am glad that you like reply to matt. I am sure he will feel very happy after seeing your post. Anyway Josh, You know that winter is running. So I want to know about your winter plan. According to my friends, The Niagara Fall is the main tourist attraction for winter season. I also will go niagara falls day trip from new york by bus with my friends. What do you think about it?

I just sent a possible new member this way to team up for more europremier help. I did the trip to Pensacola I had a headlight go out and the roof decided to pour into the living room. multiple failures. headliner is bad now. I will cut it out soon. I did minor repairs to roof while in florida. I hope to get the roof coating and apply soon. sanding has been going good though.

It's a shame that back part is messed up. The rest of it looks beautiful! I love that paint job!

I'm surprised that the roof was that bad, these are a 3 piece metal roof so there are only 2 seams that run the length of the coach and then a seam at front and back. Sometimes the seal around the air conditioners leak too. You sure headliner can't be steam cleaned or shampooed and re-glued? Our headliner was stained from previous roof leak and we used something like OxyClean and then used a furniture shampooer and it looks like new again.

Thanks for send them along, look forward to getting more of us together to help each other.
