Its a 2006 and it IS the Workhorse,,,they said in 31k miles never had any issues with the brakes ,,,,replaced pads but no problems,,,,,whats the issues


I "assume" that it is a New type workhorse. not just a rebranded P-30/32. if the old chassis, skip it.

If the SunNova is on a Ford chassis, then buy it. If it is on the Workhorse chassis, then get some more opinions here. I think there was some serious brake issues with that chassis, and maybe not yet resolved.

From what I can make of the description, this sounds like a Itasca Cambria 26A. Here's the brouchure LINK

If this is it, it is a so-called class B+, slightly narrower and lower than the regular C's. The Winnebago sister to this is called an Aspect. We have a 23D and very happy with it.

That bed,,,hummm,,,would be a pain,,,every time one of us gets up you crawl over and wake the other,,,I also would not want to sleep above the cab so I wouldn't want a bed there


In that case, keep looking for what you want.

The more you think about things like this, the more specific you become with what you want versus what's a good deal. Don't buy a "good deal" buy what you want.
