fleetwood # 53 problems
looking at a 2000 Fleetwood discovery, I've read about the #53 motor block cracking and leaking, but what I've read mostly in dodge trucks-- is it the same motor block as motorhomes? i'm guessing it...

Gas does rule
Tent's rule for some folks and TT's for others and all the way up to the Prevost and Newell owners.
It's just a matter of where you set your limits and what your budget is.
As for Diesel engines, this sort of thing isn't the norm and is just a very small percentage of all that's on the road. The rest are good for a million miles with a little maintenance.
For whatever reason, I chose a CAT over a Cummins and so far, so good, but who can say, in the long term.
