Anyone Making Gas Pushers?
I happened on this 6 year old thread: http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/23727217/srt/pa/pging/1/page/1.cfm Kind of an interesting concept. I don't ever see them being talk...

That cooling issue with the UFO chassis was corrected by a bulletin/recall of it so that's a non issue. There was a cost issue as well, but the 2009 implosion ended the UFO's existence. It actually was a good setup and those that got one you never heard a bad word.
Actually the Government itself owned the 8.1 when it was killed off, just another victim of Obama Motors. Could the 8.1 been made to pass emissions? I'm thinking it could have been - Ford reworked the V10 to pass.
If I'm not mistaken, the death of the 8.1 was effectively the end of the Workhorse RV chassis too.
Their diesel chassis never took off, and with no good gas engine option available there really wasn't anything in the RV world left for them to build.
