WorkHorse RVs
I looked at a camper that had a W22 chassis. I own an old Workhorse tractor and its bullet proof. I had never heard of a WH motorhome so I looked it up. What I read I liked. That camper did not wo...

Magilla - the years you're looking at (<10 years old), you'll be looking at Ford chassis. In the gas motorhome world, that's pretty much all that's left.
Monaco still used the Workhorse W series chassis in their 2011 coaches and there were some 2012 titled coaches with the WH chassis sold. I am sure that there were other manufacturers doing the same thing. Here are some examples: 2011 Monaco, 2011 Monaco
Hard to believe the OP never heard of WH after being a full member since 07, but it can happen, I guess.
Watch out for the last one's built, as they were equipped with their own little Navistar front mounted diesel.
Finding a good WH with the 8.1 shouldn't be too difficult and my preference would be the W24 chassis.
You would be surprised by how much I don't know ;)
Also for what tis worth, I joined in 2007 because I was buying my first MH. The forum was very helpful and made the buying experience excellent. Since then my focus was only on my 1996 MH. Other than that I would check out capers at campgrounds or shows but I had not paid any attention to the drivetrains. I was just looking at/dreaming about all the nice new options that were available.
Hey guess what, MH now have rooms that slide out of the sides. Who knew? ;)
You a funny Gorilla, Magilla, but in all seriousness, diesel pullers aren't the most popular. Usually underpowered and noisy. With the WH W series chassis, the W24 is the heaviest and didn't have the brake recall issue. If looking, go for a 2008 with the GM 8.1, that comes with an Allison Tranny and if you can find a nice house sitting on one, you'll pretty much have it all in a gas puller. They also made some gas pushers, called UFO's, but after some problems that they might have worked out, they either didn't have the popularity first thought or the great recession ceased their production. I actually thought for awhile that this would be the up and coming thing, with gas pullers becoming a thing of the past.
