I see a lot of the V10s for sale but fewer of the Chevy it seems.
I remember the V10s had some issues spark plugs or heads ... not sure when the issues were fixed.
Whats your opinion or experiences with the two.... I've stayed away from the V10s but would like to remain open minded.

You see lots of V-10's vs Chevy's because there far more V-10's out there, the difference is huge. It is not just the motorhomes, look at any airport shuttle, EMS ambulance and host of other commercial applications... Ford domintaes this market and they all have been running the V-10 for 20+ years. The spark plug issue on the V-10 disappeared almost 20 years ago. The V-10 is probably the most bullet proof, reliable big gasser ever produced, yes they are thirsty but so is any large gasser.

For the record the chevy 6L V-8 has a little more HP but not as much torque and it is torque that gets the job done but frankly they are more alike than different when it comes down to powering a small to medium sized motorhome.

As always... Opinions and YMMV
