I'm Looking in to purchasing a used Class A. I can't afford a Diesel though I'd really like to have one. What was the last year of the Class A gm 8.1 v-8 made? Don't want to start a brand war but I'm a GM Fanatic.I was told that GM will someday start making Class A gas chassis again but nobody knows when, Anybody here know?

Not sure how they can get 415 HP, but if you are stuck with gas, anyone who has a UFO seems to really like them.

If you purchase one on a W 24 chassis you can avoid the brake recall issues altogether

I saw a 2012 at the Tampa Show that was built on the 2011 Chassis with the 8.1L engine.

I have a 2007 Winnebago Voyage 35L on a W22 Workhorse chassis with the 8.1 and Allison 6 speed transmission. So far I have found this to be a wonderful combination. Plenty of power for our needs and a smooth shifting transmision.

I can't tell you exactly when the last Workhorse was made, but it was a sad day when the production ended. Parts are still readily available for the engine and transmission. I've not had a need to look for any other chassis parts, but believe they will not be too hard to find.

In what is strictly my personal opinion, the Workhorse was one of the best gas motorhome chassis on the market.
