Find a diesel repair shop in your area and pay a mechanic to go with you. Could be a gem or a boat anchor. The transmissions tend to fail more often behind these engines. Remember the entire
coach has that many miles on it. The entire drivetrain needs inspection, tires, brakes, especially tires. Learn DOT codes. Tread means nothing, tires age and grenade as you are happily tooling down
the road. I just replaced 6 michelins with 17,000 miles on them because of age and cracking. If you don't know about motorhomes find someone who does. Hope your choice is a good one.
