This is the third time around for GM to try a comeback into the MDT and HDT business, after being forced out of it twice by the terms of a U.S. government financial rescue.
I don't think it has anything to do with Workhorse, a company set up to pick up GM's chassis business after GM was forced to abandon it in the earlier bailout. There is no other connection, and Workhorse has since failed, been bought and sold again, and will get into the motorhome chassis business if the new owners (mostly in the hybrid truck chassis business) decides the tiny RV chassis market is worth the bother.
More likely that GM might try to get back into RV and step van markets themselves, to compete with Workhorse?
That's why I think Ford will rule the future in gas motorhome market, buying from a company that has a history like Workhorse and all the new engineers to screw it all up all over again and almost get it right than they shut it down to start all over with another company and engineers..
However this new start up will get Ford moving again and even make more better improvements to stay leader of the pack and they have already done that in 2016 by putting in the 6 speed tow-haul trans and more chassis improvements..
