2005 Newmar Dutch Star 4010- Update
We found one we are considering purchasing, but... It's a C7 CAT 350hp, with a Spartan Chassis. 18k miles, always stored inside, supposedly. 40'6", with 2 slides. I have the build sheet from Newmar, ...

I agree our Cat was faster off the line, but after a few hundred feet (if that) our Cummins is in another league. And I drive a lot more road miles than I do stop light to stop light.
The Cat certainly did everything well, the Cummins just seems to do it easier - and it should. More cubes, more HP and more torque should = more performance.
When we ordered our '03 the Cummins ISB (300/660) was the standard engine, we opted for the bigger Cat - same reason, more is better when it comes to MH HP.
The brand isn't the difference IMO as they're both top notch units, the HP and torque are.
