Best year for a DP

I ve been looking at different used models of DP's. Is there a certain year that one should look for, as far as dependability and ease of maintenance goes? EPA regulations? I am guessing 2004 or 05 and earlier.

Thanks!

    When I bought mine in 2004 I wanted it to have a 2003 engine. For a Catt Acert engine that's probably true because there's been lots of problems with the Acert engines. The 04-09 Cummins engines have proven to be very good even with the increased pollution requirements.
    04 is about the earliest that you could get four slides in a motorhome.
