Georgetown Engine and transmission?

I was just trying to find information about the Georgetown and what engines were available in the 2011 brochure. I couldn't find a thing.

Is it sitting on a GMC chassie?
Does it only have gas engines or does it have a diesel also?

Just a few questions from you folks that have them.
Thanks

At this time the only chassis available is the Ford v10. Workhorse has gotten out of the RV chassis business.

The brochure states they are offered with the Ford F53 Chassis with the V-10 Triton Engine or the Workhorse Chassis only on the 22,000 lbs GVW. Couldn't find any Workhorse specs though but I do know what the Ford chassis is. The 20,500 lbs GVW are only available with the Ford chassis.

Our 378 towing either our boat or a Jeep gets around 6.5 to 7 mpg pretty consistantly.

While doing some research into the Georgetown I came across this brochure for the F53 chassis for 2011. I hope this answers your questions.

Thank Mike.
That brochure has all the answers. Great for comparison.

"Level highway". What part of AZ do you reside in. You must be out on the west side of Phoenix as there is not much level hwy elsewhere in that state. LOL. To answer your question; not much.
