The workhorse is a true orphan. They are gone and there is zero support from the new owners. The UFO was a sales dud and when it comes time to sell there will be few takers. Using the words good brakes and Workhorse in the same sentence is almost an insult to Workhorse owners who have endured some of the worst brakes un RV history. I would not believe anything Workhorse wrote. Although parts for the W series Workhorse are still available I wonder if parts for the UFO brake system can be found.

Actually, the new owners do support my coach. The brakes you refer to were made by Bosch, mine are made by Meritor who still makes brakes, mostly for schoolbuses. I would think those are good. Also if my coach has Hydraulic pump or other brake failure ...the coach will stop dead in its tracks just after the coach computer automatically senses the failure and warns that the auto park system is going to engage. I can still stop with the pedal as well but the coach assists.
I can get parts and tech documents. There are hundreds of WH service centers, including ones that are good with my Chassis. I have been to two in the mid atlantic area and both do good work.
I am close friends with the President of the Workhorse Chassis Owners club and he keeps me in the loop with all things WH. The new owners want to bring a good gas chassis back on the market soon and the gas buyers sure should have more than one choice don't you think?
Lets agree to get back on subject...I didn't mean to hijack the OP's thread.
