Several years ago I was towing my 5th wheel toyhauler with my duramax diesel pickup. Long story short, the trailer got damaged and it went to a collision repair shop. They told me it would be 2-3 weeks to repair, ended up taking them about 3 months.
Being dune season(nice and cool), we wanted to go use our trailer, but they kept dragging their feet. The owner let us rent his 2004 38' georgie boy DP for the weekend free of charge. It had a CAT 330 with allison 6 speed and two slides. Wow, what a ride. Loved it so much I was trying to figure out a way to buy one.
Fast forward a few years to about 2009, my dad buys his first DP, a 2001 holiday rambler endeavor. He also got the CAT 330 and allison. So I got to drive two different DP's for lots of miles. I started looking for one and found the one I wanted. A 1999 holiday rambler endeavor. Mine has the 5.9 cummins 275HP. No, it's not a 330 CAT, but it's a close second.
I sold the gas class A I had a week after I bought the DP. I agree with the others. Drive one and you'll own one.
