Thank you all for your assistance. I have decided to purchase a 2007 Workhorse Chassis supporting Holiday Rambler Admiral 33sfs.

[QUOTE="golden"]My '04 doesn't nor was it offered as an option. What you MAY be hearing is the fan clutch although why you would hear it as you are exiting.

Yep that's what you are hearing. Mine does it all the time, especially when exiting the interstate. Check your tachometer next time, if it was downshifting, you'll see it go up, but I doubt that you will.

BTW, the fan "roars" a lot less if the air conditioner is off.
You'll get used to it. I thought mine engine was reving to the moon, and the transmission must be slipping, until I noticed my RPM were not going up at all.
