Ok good advice so far thanks all. I'm not as concerned about the maintenance or the longevity as I have a couple diesel trucks and am versed in that. As I begin my search I'm mostly looking for better ride quality. That being said what things as far as suspension engine size or brand should I be looking for?
Realistically a best case scenario you want about 1 HP per 100 pounds of GCWR. So 300 HP would have a GCWR of about 30,000#. That won't be a fast rig but will get the job done. That said if you can get a Cummins ISL they are easier to rebuild than the ISB. However, those are very rare in motorhomes simply because of the cost and weight. The ISL & ISX units are wet sleeve units rather then the ISB 6.7L which isn't. If you have a coach up to about 35,000# GCWR you will likely get an ISB mated to an Allison 2500 transmission.
