Cat vs Cummins

WE are considering trading our 36' gas coach for a diesel pusher. I've been trying to educate myself before getting too deep as this represents a major investment for us common working class people. I've read some horror stories about the C7 Cat which seems to be very popular in the 40' DP segment. I haven't really seen anything negative about the Cummins so I was looking for feedback from you folks with more experience than I. Should I only consider coaches with the Cummins?

    I asked that question of folks that repair motor homes before I purchased, and I was told they are both great engines. I would not decide based on the manufacturer of the engine. There are many other things that matter, like how well the engine has been maintained.

    All engines have some problems. I do not think I would worry about which one I have.
