From the post above, it should be the V10 without the spark plug problems. What axle issues would I encounter with a 4600# axle?
Very unlikely for a 2001 to have plug issues. Besides, it's not the end of the world. They can be repaired in place.
As for axle issues.... The main benefit of the 5k axle is it allowed RV makers to build floorplans on a longer wheelbase for better stability. Of course, some just made an even longer coach.
The 4600# does have some wear issue. Mainly the sway bar bushings and radius arm bushings, which need replacing about every 100k (the rubber OEM sway bar bushing should be upgraded to polyurethane for in immediate improvement). Ball joints on an RV may only last that long too. Also brake won't last as long, however most RVs run into storage problem before wear problems, so that may not matter as much.
