Expert Answers about Workhorse W-Series


  • Improving the Ride Quality of an RV Built on a 2005 Workhorse W22 Chassis
  • Yes! Probably the single best addition you can make to provide better handling in your RV would be to install a rear anti-sway bar. Helper springs treat the symptom but not the cause like an anti-sway bar would. There are 2 rear sway bar options for your 2005 Workhorse W22: # RM-1259-108 and # RM-1259-109 (for applications 33 feet or longer). Additional products for even more stability include axle stabilizers: # RM-TRACW-22 or # TT2304 for the front end. And adding a steering stabilizer,...

  • Solution for Needing Replacement Arms for Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar
  • I have a replacement option for you, but we reached out to Blue Ox and unfortunately since the Blue ox Aladdin tow bar BX4325 has been discontinued for a few years there is not a replacement arm available. Instead I recommend replacing your tow bar with the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 7,500 lbs # BX4370 which has the same 7500lb weight capacity as your Aladdin and is overall easier to use since it has an easier telescoping arm setup.

  • Rear Sway Bar Recommendation for 2006 Winnebago Voyage 31V
  • Based on my research, it looks like your 2006 Winnebago Voyage 31V was built on the Workhorse W20 chassis so for a rear Roadmaster sway bar we have the part # RM-1259-108 as a confirmed fit and will work well. This will make a very large improvement in the way your motorhome handles so you'll really be glad you went with it.

  • Lug Nut Covers for Monaco MH on Workhorse W22 chassis 22.5 Wheels
  • I looked up the lug nut size of the 2005 Workhorse W22 chassis that you have and since it has 33 mm lug nuts the lug covers you'd need are the part # PXSP33. We don't have this size lug nut though.

  • How to Have a Front Hitch Installed on a 2005 Workhose W22
  • We don't have any front hitches that would work for your 2005 W22 Workhose RV, so you would need to contact a qualified fabricator to see about having one fabricated to your RV. Once you have a front hitch I would recommend the Curt Spare Tire Carrier part # C31006 to carry your spare. I attached a review video for you to check out.

  • Valve Stem Extensions for 2002 Workhorse Motorhome 31W with 19-1/2-Inch Dually Wheels with Covers

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2002 Workhorse Chassis RV
  • We don't have a plug-in style of brake controller adapter for your 2002 Workhorse W22 but we can help you install a brake controller. Trailer brake controllers are not vehicle-specific so pretty much any controller could be installed in any vehicle. All controllers use the same wiring colors and connections: the white wire is ground and connects to the battery negative post; the black wire is +12V power to operate the controller and this connects to the battery + post through a 30-amp...

  • Options for Installing Brake Controller on 2006 Fleetwood Fiesta on Workhorse Chassis
  • I believe that there is wiring located up under the dash and to the left of the steering column on the 2006 Workhorse W chassis that is for a brake controller that is on your 2006 Fleetwood Fiesta. Look for a bundle of wires held together with a white tag. The tag shows the functions of the wires. If that wire bundle is not present on your Bounder then the brake controller will have to be hardwired in. You would need a 30 amp circuit breaker, # PK54530, wire # 10-2-1 sold by the foot,...

  • Recommendation for Flat Towing a 2013 Chevy Spark with Manual Transmission
  • First let's get you set up with a base plate kit. The Blue Ox # BX1722 is the custom fit base plate kit for your 2013 Chevrolet Spark with a manual transmission. Next we will need a tow bar. I recommend the # BX7420, because it's easy to use and comes with the safety cables. Supplemental Braking Systems are required in most states and Canadian provinces, so you will want to look up your state and see what towing laws they enforce. Surge brakes operate by using a mechanical braking...

  • Rear Sway Bar Recommendation for a Workhorse W22 Workhorse Winnebago Adventurer
  • Actually for your W22 chassis RV the correct rear sway bar would be the # RM-1259-109 for if you are 33 feet or longer or part # RM-1259-108 for if you are shorter than that. There will be some drilling required for installation. I attached instructions for both products for you to check out as well.

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement that Fits 2001 Workhorse W20 Chassis RV
  • I checked with Air Lift and they confirmed that the kit only fits the 2002 and newer W20. We do have a Timbren kit part # TGMRP30 that fits your 2001 W20 which would give you the same support but has advantage of not requiring you to monitor air pressure.

  • Rear Suspension Kit that Fits 2007 Workhorse W42 Chassis
  • For the Workhorse W42 chassis we have the Timbren rear suspension kit part # TGMRP30 but we don't have any air spring solutions. The Timbren kits offer the same support without requiring you to worry about air pressure and leaks though.

  • Recommended For Best Replacement For Dometic Duo-Therm 620426.321 & Heat Strip
  • For the simplest and most straight forward 13.5K btu replacement of your current Dometic air conditioner we have several options. Each of these AC's plug directly into your Dometic setup to work with your existing air distribution box. The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner, # ACM135 is a 13,500 Btu unit that comes in white cover. The # ACM135B is the same unit with a black cover. We also have these same units configured with a start capacitor, # ACDOM135 in white and # ACDOM135B for black. All...

  • Availability of 5,000 Watt Inverter with Automatic Transfer Switch for Remote Cabin
  • The only 12V 5,000 watt inverter we have available is the Go Power # 34280179. This is an excellent modified sine wave inverter to provide AC power that features built-in safety features to protect your cabin's electrical system and multiple connection points to connect your devices and cables. This particular unit does not have an integrated transfer switch but you can add the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 342GPTS to your setup. This pre-wired transfer switch will automatically...

  • How Does Brake Controller Install in 2008 Fleetwood Southwind
  • Since your 2008 Fleetwood Southwind is built on a Workhorse W24 chassis I believe that there is wiring located up under the dash and to the left of the steering column on the 2006 Workhorse W24 chassis that is for a brake controller. Look for a bundle of wires held together with a white tag. The tag shows the functions of the wires. If that wire bundle is not present on your Southwind then the brake controller will have to be hardwired in. On the brake controller white is ground, black...

  • Front and Rear Anti-Sway Bars for 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 3778 Motorhome on Workhorse W-24 Chassis
  • According to the original sales brochure I looked up, your 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 3778 was built on the Workhorse W-24 chassis. The same brochure states that the overall length of your coach is 37 feet 5 inches. Given that information, you'd want to use the Roadmaster # RM-1259-109 for the rear anti-sway bar and # RM-1259-105 for the front. Sway bars essentially lock the axles down to the vehicle frame, so they can't rack which causes wandering and unwanted body roll. A steering...

  • Recommended Tire Pressure Valve Extenders For Motorhome
  • The Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders - 90-Degree Bend - Front Wheels # WM802990 technically are designed for the front wheels, but there are several customers that left reviews stating that it worked on their rear wheels. It really just depends on the layout of your current valve stems and if it requires a bend at all. I recommend looking into Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders - 135-Degree Bend - Steel Rear Wheels # WM8029135 or Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders...

  • Replacement Surge Coupler for Atwood Drum Actuator
  • The Atwood brake actuators are no longer made as Atwood got out of the industry a while back. Best solution is to replace it with a Demco surge actuator part # DM72VR which is a very similar but improved surge actuator for disc brakes. It has an easier to use coupler latch and is very reliable.
