Ever wonder what the term "semi-monocoque chassis" means in term of motorhome construction? I sure did and was never able to get a straight answer from anybody when I asked what it meant.
As Ned always reminds us, "Google is your friend", so I Googled and came up with, among others, the following:
According to the U.S. Centennial Of Flight Commission the term Monocoque is French and originated in airplane design.
Wikipedia discusses the extension of the concept to unibody construction in automobiles.
