Explanation:
"Rohbaufest" is usually a kind of party that is done in Germany, when the carcass of a building is finished.

Rohbau = carcass -> structural work -> structure -> frame

Since they are talking about attachiung something to a vehicle, it would be the frame or chassis, and "fest" woulmd mean firmly attached.

Explanation:
Merely guessing, seems to be an Austrian term. Maybe it has the same meaning as "vormontiert" (which usually means "The bus will fall apart after 20 km if you don't take care of final assembly" ;)
