2009 Coachmen Prism 230 Diesel?

We're considering purchasing a 2009 Coachmen Prism 230 with the 3.0 Diesel on a Freightliner chassis with 38,000 miles and propane generator.

Can anyone share the good, bad or ugly with this model? We owned a 2006 LTV with the I5 T1N in the past. I loved it but DW couldn't warm up to the wet bath.
I'm curious of any issues with the 3.0 V6? Anything else to be concerned with or look for?

Thanks

    There is always a much sweeter taste than bitter when you walk away and know for a fact you did the right thing... We all hate wasting the time though.

    The gen was one of the deal breakers. It had a small propane tank, it was LOUD and leaked oil. This unit was in poor shape in general. We walked away.

    Thanks

    Can,t comment on the MH itself but I would not go for a propane Gen if I wanted to do camping needing the Gen much.
