Is the Workhorse Chassis an orphan
Planning on downsizing from the Dutch Star. Maybe a short class A? Is the Workhorse and 8.1 Chevy an orphan? Are parts available? Is it a good idea in general?

In test driving both chassis on a 35 ft MH both had the same performance(same time from 40-60 mph). The Ford had a lot more eng noise at WOT. The Workhorse chassis under the same MH cost more and had the Alison transmission which I believe to be better. If you can find one with the brake recall done and proper air flow for spark plug wires I would choose the Workhorse over the Ford if you can find one. There are way more Fords on the used MH market. It seems more folks complain about the harsher ride from the Ford and the CHF and other fixes to improve the ride. I don't own either just looking also. Having said all that extra insulation can be added under the dog house on the Ford to quiet the eng noise and would choose the MH I liked better regardless of chassis.
