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?

I had a Workhorse chassis and loved it EXCEPT for the dang parking brake. Worked with a lever to activate it. It can fail and be locked on or fail and grab as you drive, doing MUCH damage. Mine failed in Alaska outside Hyder - not a great place to have a failure. Would not release. Also had trouble several years later. Was glad to be done with it.
Oldusedbear here has helped many with the issue. Not sure what years were problematic but............... be careful and find out about the parking brake system on board. Everything else was wonderful on the chassis. Think there is a retro fit now for the brake system to replace it with a different system.
