We have been doing many months of research on diesel motorhomes, BUT now we are looking at purchasing a 2007 Monaco Monarch 33SFS with a Workhorse chassis. This is all new and we feel we are back at step one. We love the coach, but want to do some research before making a decision (in a couple days).

Where do we begin?
What do we need to ask?
What do we need to know?
What do we need to anticipate?
What should we read?

We need to know where to start. Any help or guidance is appreciated. Thank you!

You have come to the right place for answers about Workhorse chassis. It will help us give you the best info available if you can tell us WHICH Workhorse chassis you are considering. ED

One thing you should be concerned with is the CCC (meaning Cargo Carrying Capacity). Some manufacturers have a bad habit of overloading Workhorse Chassis' leaving very little carrying capacity for your own items.
