I bought a new 2003 Condor 1340, which is the two slide, side-aisle model 34'-6" in length. Drove it for 47K miles from 2003 thru the 2009 season. It was on a P32 Workhorse Chassis with the 8.1 Chevy engine and 4L80E transmission(4-speed w/overdive). All the components were common with other models such as Dometic stove,fridge, and air conditioners, Suburban furnace, Atwood water heater, PowerGear hydraulic levelers, etc. After changing out the Bilstein shocks to Monroe RV Magnums, and installing a rear trackbar, it drove very well.
The weak link of this rig for me was the AutoPark system (parking brake) that failed five times before Workhorse replaced the electrics and hydraulic pump on the system. The AutoPark is the parking brake system that uses an electric over hydraulic set-up on the tailshaft of the transmission instead of a foot brake that sets the rear brakes on a conventional vehicle.
