My first post in this section and the MOHO arrived 2days ago.

[Liberte2011]

2006 Trail-Lite model 281 (Class A) just came in and is Canadian specs.

I'm trying to find out which chassis I have exactly.

My registration with Workhorse website with VIN revealed the following:

I do have a 2006 frame (W31416) with engine:
Eng Opt: L18; Dspl(L):8.1; Cyl: V8; Fuel Sys: MFI;.

According to Workhorse website generic info on chassis, the Trail-Lite 281 has a P32

Does anyone knows what is exactly this W31416 or if this number translate to a chassis model (P32-W??, etc)?

Txs/Merci


PS: Went skiing tonight and it was a mild -15 Celsius with 100% humidity :-)) Cold to the bones.

Got the info.

I contacted the authorized Workhorse in Ottawa (Surgenor truck Center) and the person Wayne, just faxed me the whole history (lot more than what we get when we enter our VIN on the wbesite).

It is a W16 built 28 nov 2005.

Lots of good info. Txs to all who helped (and were going to help) me.

So, you're having some real winter in Ottaw, are you?

It's only -3' in my part of Newfoundland with flurries & 3-5" on the ground, Not enough for x-country skiing, or snowshoeing.

& it looks like this will be the odd weekend out since no rain is forecast. I am envying you your winter.

[Liberte2011]

Little Kopit, actually we have a couple of "Townies" working here and they said it is the first winter they enjoyed (cause of the cold and rain and cold and rain) we had so far.

As for the MOHO:

Looking at the full specs sheet that was faxed to me by WH rep in Ottawa, it shows W16 as a MH Chassis and is rated 16000 lbs

Even better, it also says I have a 60 gallons gaz tank, which shows up for 158.5 wheelbase on the WH website. It also states that if you have 190in and above chassis, it comes with a 75 gallons tank.

But on the R-Vision site they show model 281 and 271 as 190 inches wheelbase (mind you that was for 2005).

Lastly, according to MH Expert, the 6th digit of my VIN says that I have a W18 (letter E)

Am I ever confused!! Guess I'll have to verify myself.

If R-Vision had the info on their 2006, that would surely helped, but.......

For further details on ordering timing:

I ordered the MOHO on the 15th Oct. WH got the order date on the 27th Oct, the build date shows up as 28 nov 05 and the delivery date to R-Vision is 4 Jan 2006 (can probably write-off 2 weeks for the X-Mas period.) That gave R-Vision about 4 weeks to assemble the MOHO and get it here in Ottawa.

So I find that 15 weeks overall is pretty reasonable. For the old timers remember when we had to order our cars and it took 3 months minimum to get them (GM anyway).

Txs again all


PS: I do not mind the cold. I'm a winter guy and also have enough layers to last me through the season :-)

[Liberte2011]

Clarification on the 6th VIN digit.

Driver provided on another post the clarification I required for the VIN.

The letter E is for W18 and W16. That makes sense now.

Now only the wheelbase length need to be looked at and confirm.
