Is a Mercedes a good engine for a DP?
Looking at a DP with a 400 HP MBE engine. Not sure I have seen a DP that didn't have a Cummins engine. Is the MBE a good one? Are there any strange quirks with it?

The one engine no one brought up here is the Navistar engine that was supposed to meet emissions without the DEF...Monaco/Hr used them when Navistar got them at the bankruptcy for a couple of years before it was discovered that the engine did not meet the standards. Navistar then bailed out of the Motorhome business by selling it to ARG which is now REV group and that was the end of the roadmaster chassis and some people had issues with them. Now there was a real Edsel of an engine which not only is harder to find a qualified service center if you have one, but if you are trying to sell one , the minute people find out it is not a Cummins run for the hills. Now there's a unit to run from, and I feel for the many people that got one from 2012 to 2014...when the info was discovered, Navistar went back to Cummins but at that point this Titanic had already hit the iceberg.
