Ford V10 engine
Looking to purchase around a 36 ft class a motorhome to go full timing and wondering how the ford V10 is holding up. Will be towing a vehicle with it also. Please give good and bad points.

I have a 2012 Georgetown XL 378TS and after 20 months and total of 23,000 my V-10 is still strong with no problems.
Being a preventive measure guy I had the transmission fluid replaced and brakes power flushed at Ford. I use regular Ford 5w20 oil and replace every 5,000 miles.
No problems other than Ford replaced my failed AC compressor under warranty at 22,000 miles.
So the Ford V-10 legacy continues on as a solid workhorse engine in my F-53 chassis.
Has anyone had any major issues with the drive train?
I read here someone has a rear differential seal fail.
How about the brakes? How long do they last?
Keep driving and enjoying the USA.
