Do you have a preference on the Cummins vs the Cat engine? I know they both have been around for awhile but was looking for any inside info. Also can I expect at least 10 mpg on a coach of this size? I've read all kinds of different numbers but mostly inflated I'm sure.
That estimate on mileages is probably very close.
The CAT engine was only available in the CruiseMaster, it was on the bigger wheelbase XC chassis and had the Allison 6spd transmission. (I believe the 3000 series.) My Landau on the XCS chassis has the Cummins 260HP, Allison 1000- 5 speed and is about 5000 lbs lighter than the Cruisemaster. I consistently get just over 11 mpg at 62-65.
