Consider posting on the Workhorse chassis section - great bunch over there: Workhorse and Chevrolet Chassis Motorhome Forum - iRV2 Forums
The designation is the GVW rating of the chassis. I'm not sure which you have under your 'bago but the guys over there will know. Mine is 20,500 so it's a W20. I suspect if yours is a 22K it's a W22, at 24K it's a W24. I have been wrong before though. LOL.

The W24 chassis was first used on the 2005 models, so your 2002 can not be a W24.

Go to the Winnebago site and download the brochure (and wiring, plumbing and other diagrams) for your unit and you will find it has a 20,500 chassis.

If the 6th character of the chassis vin # is a "3" OR a "5", you have a P32 chassis. If the sixth character is "6", then you have either a W-20 or W-22 chassis, as determined by the GVWR. All of this assumes you have a vin #beginning with "5B4".
If you will post the last 8 digits (only) of the vin #, I may be able to get you more detailed info from your "build sheet". Ed

That chassis is a 2002 workhorse "W-20", built 3/28/2002 as a 208" wheel base with 19.5" wheels. Please look for a PM from me with more details. Ed

I dunno what the OP intends to "do" with the info, I was just trying to answer his question. In this case, "W-20" is only a name because of the GVWR being 20,700 pounds, which I believe was based on the suspension ratings and the load range "F" tires used. The model # is P320 22 Ed

If the tires are 19.5s then it is almost certainly a W20. There was a 19,5 inch option available on the W22 but I have never seen one. In addition the axle ratings will confirm what it is. You can download the Workhorse info HERE .I am having trouble getting the clicky to work, this is the URL https://www.dropbox.com/s/ialcb3m2qx...%20Chassis.doc
I downloaded that document from the WH site back in 2004.
EDIT seems to be working now.

I don't know who told you yours is a W22, but the build sheet I sent you via PM clearly shows it to be a W20 BECAUSE of the OE suspension and tire ratings (IMO). That said, there are literally no other significant differences between a W20 and a W22. What "aftermarket" parts are you trying to order?

Clay L: In this case (and many others I've seen) the axle ratings are greater than the chassis GVWR of the W20, which as I posted, was "apparently" determined by the suspension and tire load range rating "F".
The OP's chassis is equipped with a front axle rated at 8,000 pounds and a rear axle rated at 13,500 pounds. Total GAWR would therefore be 21,500 pounds......not enough for the 22,000 GVWR of the W22, but more than sufficient for the GVWR of 20,700 claimed for a W20. His front SUSPENSION is rated for 7,500 pounds and the rear suspension rated at 13,500 yields a total of 21,000. Again, enough to cover the W20, but not the W22. To be clear, this info was gleaned from the build sheet for the chassis vin# provided and not a "generic" source.
