Attendance Record Set at Workhorse Owners Club Rally

TUCSON, Ariz.

— The spring rally of the Workhorse Chassis Motor Home Club (WCMC) set a new attendance record for Workhorse club rallies with 84 family units on the scene for fun and education April 15 to 19.

The event at the Beaudry RV Resort and Rally Park in Tucson drew a great number of first-time attendees. “I would bet this was the first rally for nearly half of them,” said Club President Ed Gray.

“A lot of people in the last six months have joined the club specifically so they could attend this rally,” said Gray. The 400-site resort at Beaudry RV includes campsite patios with wrought iron furniture and other resort amenities. Also, the Workhorse seminars are a big draw, said Gray.

Seminars by Workhorse personnel, Redlands Truck and RV Performance Center of Redlands, Calif., Alcoa Wheels and Michelin Tires were well attended. Kongsberg Automotive, a supplier for Workhorse’s WISE multiplexing system and adjustable pedals, made its first appearance at a WCMC rally. Kongsberg representatives explained their work and current advancements in chassis technology.

Rally goers were also among the first to see the new Winnebago model built on the Workhorse UFO rear engine gas chassis — the Adventurer Limited, which was supplied by nearby La Mesa RV and purchased at the rally by one of the club members. Ride and drives on a Winnebago Destination demo coach built on the Workhorse UFO chassis were conducted over two of the days.

In official business, Ed Hessemer was named the club’s new vice president for rallies — west. He replaces outgoing Vice President Dan Moynahan. Moynahan and his wife Sue were the rally masters. The club, which is a chapter of FMCA, also heard from Jay Blumenthal, president of INTO (International) Area of FMCA, who updated members about FMCA benefits.
