American Coach American Dream Class A Diesel Pushers For Sale

American Coach American Dream FAQs

What is the American Coach American Dream?

The American Dream is American Coach's entry-tier Class A diesel pusher motorhome, built on a Liberty Bridge integrated Freightliner Custom Chassis with a Cummins diesel engine. It gives buyers full-time-livable build quality, residential interiors, and a Freightliner rear-engine chassis at the most accessible price in the American Coach diesel pusher lineup. MHSRV stocks the Dream in two floor plans: the 42Q on the Freightliner XCM chassis with the Cummins L9, and the 45A on the Freightliner SL chassis with the Cummins X15.

What chassis is the American Dream built on?

The Dream uses two Liberty Bridge integrated Freightliner Custom Chassis platforms depending on floor plan. The 42Q rides on the Freightliner XCM chassis with the Cummins L9 (450 HP, 1,250 lb-ft) paired with an Allison 3000 MH 6-speed transmission. The 45A rides on the Freightliner SL chassis with the Cummins X15 (605 HP, 1,950 lb-ft) paired with an Allison 4000 MH 6-speed transmission, a 240-amp alternator, and a 20,000-pound front axle on 365 tires. Both floor plans include Freightliner BrakeSync, the Select Drive premium steering system, and the UltraSteer tag axle.

Is the American Dream a diesel pusher?

Yes. The Dream is a Class A diesel pusher with the Cummins diesel mounted at the rear of the coach over the drive axle. Diesel pusher coaches typically offer a quieter cabin than front-engine layouts, better weight distribution for ride and handling, and higher towing capacity than typical Class A gas motorhomes.

What is the difference between the American Dream 42Q and 45A?

Chassis and engine are the biggest differences. The 42Q is 42 feet 11 inches on the Freightliner XCM chassis with the Cummins L9 (450 HP), an Allison 3000 6-speed transmission, a 62,000-pound GCWR, and a 15,000-pound hitch. The 45A is 44 feet 11 inches on the Freightliner SL chassis with the Cummins X15 (605 HP), an Allison 4000 6-speed transmission, a 240-amp alternator, a 20,000-pound front axle on 365 tires, a 74,000-pound GCWR, and a 20,000-pound hitch. The 45A also adds an enclosed master bath, an exterior entertainment center, and a Televator TV standard. Pick the 42Q for the shorter length and lower entry price. Pick the 45A for the larger X15 engine, higher tow capacity, and enclosed master bath.

How much can the American Dream tow?

Tow capacity varies by floor plan. The 42Q is rated to tow 15,000 pounds with a 1,500-pound tongue weight. The 45A is rated to tow 20,000 pounds with a 2,000-pound tongue weight. Either rating covers most tow-behind passenger vehicles owners use as a dinghy, including full-size SUVs and trucks.

What floor plans does the American Dream come in?

American Coach builds the Dream in three floor plans: the 42Q, 45A, and 45P. MHSRV stocks the Dream in the 42Q and the 45A. Both feature an Encore Series king memory foam bed in the rear master, a stackable washer and dryer at the front of the master, and a free-standing dinette with credenza in the living area.

What is the difference between the American Dream and the American Eagle?

Both are American Coach Class A diesel pushers on Liberty Bridge integrated Freightliner chassis with Cummins diesel power. The Dream is the entry-tier build, offered in the 42Q (Freightliner XCM + Cummins L9) and 45A (Freightliner SL + Cummins X15). The Eagle is the next tier up, exclusively on the Freightliner SL chassis with the Cummins X15, and adds standard content that's optional or unavailable on the Dream (Klipsch soundbars across the coach, two power basement slide trays standard, 4.8 cu ft Stow N Go standard, Wifi Ranger Denali-LTE with router standard, Enhanced Ghost Audio with cockpit transducers, and a different four-package decor lineup: Appaloosa, Islamorada, Key Largo, and Maybrooke). Pick the Dream for the accessible entry price. Pick the Eagle when you want the fuller standard-content build without stepping up to the top-tier lines (Tradition, Allegiance, Heritage).

Does the American Dream have heated floors?

Yes. Full-floor heated tile flooring is standard throughout the coach on every Dream floor plan (a recent addition to standard equipment). The heated tile pairs with the Aqua-Hot 450D hydronic system for warmth that doesn't rely on electric resistance heating or added propane load.

Does the American Dream have an enclosed master bath?

Only the 45A. The 45A adds an enclosed master bath with a 43-by-32-inch shower. The 42Q uses an open bath layout. If a dedicated, enclosed master bath is a must-have, the 45A is the Dream floor plan to look at.

Does the American Dream come with adaptive cruise control?

Yes. Every Dream comes standard with the FCCC RoadWatch driving and safety system, which includes adaptive cruise control (ACC), automatic traction control, electronic stability control with roll stability support, and collision mitigation with forward warning and active braking. A 360-degree camera is also standard along with the 20-inch single dash monitor and added cockpit soundproofing.

Does the American Dream come with solar?

Solar is available as part of the optional Technology Package, which adds a 330-watt solar panel along with the Wifi Ranger Denali-LTE router and cell signal booster. The Technology Package is a factory option, not standard equipment. A lithium battery package is also available as a separate factory option with three GC3 batteries at 270 Ah each.

What is the bedroom like in the American Dream?

Both Dream floor plans include an Encore Series king-size memory foam mattress (72 by 80 inches) in the rear master suite with a wardrobe, full-coach Aqua-Hot heat, and full-floor heated tile flooring underfoot. The 45A adds an enclosed master bath with a 43-by-32-inch shower. A stackable washer and dryer is standard at the front of the master suite on both floor plans.

Can I drive the American Dream without a special license?

Depends on your state. The Dream's 62,000-pound GCWR (42Q) or 74,000-pound GCWR (45A) puts it into the weight range where a handful of US states (California, Wisconsin, Illinois, and a few others) require a non-commercial Class B or Class C endorsement for motorhomes above certain thresholds. In the majority of US states, a standard driver's license covers it. Verify with your state DMV before purchase, especially on the larger 45A.
