Yep and the pretty chrome Triton V10 on the front sides. And the blue oval on steering wheel..... The Chasis Serial # is 1F6NF53Y580A00884, if that helps.

I can understand the confusion, seems Tiffin wasn't even sure.

That's not uncommon. My 08 is on a 07 chassis.

Freightliner also makes (made?) a front engine diesel chassis called the FRED. Tiffin was a big user of the FRED.

fletcher70, In addition to Freightliner Custom Chassis, the major RDP suppliers were Workhorse, Peak, Roadmaster, Powerglide and Spartan.

Prevost, Newell and VanHool are all RDPs as well.

Did I miss any?

Country Coach made their own "Dynomax" chassis, which was also under "some" of the National products when they owned CC.

Older coaches are also on Gillig and Magnum chassis. I don't think Oshkosh / John Deere / Dodge had any RDP chassis....and I've never heard of a Ford RDP either.

I don't know why DynoMax slips my mind especially since we spoke about this a few months ago.

Perhaps that's because WE cannot afford one?

Workhorse is still in business...just making a very limited line for the MH mfgt's.
See: Motor Home

The last gas powered Workhorse was a 2009 model w/ the GM 8.1L V8 (now discontinued) and may have been a few sold in 2010. There were some used under later model year coaches that were pre-purchased.

The Workhorse W20D FRED (FRont Engine Diesel) is still under the current model year Serrano.

But all indications are that Workhorse is about to disappear. It will probably pass away into the larger Navistar product line that has a huge commercial market.
See: Navistar
Like did ya' know they owned Monaco?
