Great point. Workhorse - Gone.
Dolphin - Gone.
Much better choices available overall IMO.

The only reason they quit making the Workhorse is that GM quit making the 8.1L V8 that was used in their chassis. I have one I my Mountain Aire and love it but I will be selling it when the warm weather gets here because I can no longer climb the 6 steps up into the MH. I bought a Roadtrek. 19' that is easy to get into.
Thats not really the whole story. The 8.1 gasser was just one of many chassis Workhorse built. Yes the loss of the 8.1 was part of it - a bigger part was Workhorse made some bad decisions and the economy crashed. They also handled the brake recall very poorly at first, adding to the poor decisions.
