Check the engine out, we opted out of a 2004 Coachman Sportscoach 40' Cross Country since it had the 5.9 300HP Cummins. This the same engine used in the Dodge diesel pickups of that vintage. Depending on what you want to tow it could be lacking power in hilly terrain. At the time the RV was priced @ $118K new at the Indy RV Show or about $50K under Tiffin and Newmars that were similarly equipped, due to basically the engine/ transmission combo. The Tiffins and Newmars were equipped with Cat larger displacement engines with a heavier Allison transmission.
