UPDATE! The RV is still for sale. I am back and forth, especially with the higher miles. My regular RV inspection from a company will be $400. And Cummins service center contacted me back. Their inspection costs $500. That includes: "We can perform a full inspection and dyno test for $500. The dyno test will place this engine under full load and will be able to verify fuel pressure, oil pressure, engine temp as well as horsepower out put"
Cummins also said they will test and check the generator, as well as the transmission.
So even before I purchase the unit, it will cost $900 bucks.
Cummins also said that if I do purchase, they would recommend doing a service on everything.....$900. The service guy stated he has seen those motors go 300,000 miles plus, but in smaller application. Like always, it just depends on where exactly it was kept for the past 20 years. He said an exhaust manifold leak repair could cost $1000-$3000. Ugh....
Would I be better trying to find a V10 Class A?
PS Dodgeguy....I am trying not to get a slide just due to one less thing breaking and one less repair item.
Thanks again everyone!
