Looking for opinions from diesel experts!

I've been advised by a good friend that if I was to buy a motor home and had a choice between the International/Navistar MaxxForce 7 or the Cummins 6.7 that it would be wise for me to avoid the Navistar engine as they are problematic. Yesterday we returned a 26,000 Penske Dura-Star straight truck back to Penske and I asked if they were having any issues with their MaxxForce 7 engines. They said no and every straight truck in the lot was a Navistar, except for (1) Hino. So I'm asking you guys what do you think, plus I'm going to call 2-3 Diesel Repair businesses in the Detroit area and get their opinion. However, what I'm afraid of is most of the dudes here probably only have past experience with CAT & Cummins. Pleas feel free to express your opinion. The Navistar engine does NOT use DEF. Bags. PS: I've owned (6) diesel trucks, but don't consider myself an expert.

Seems this thread just died. I'm looking at a 2012 Allegro Breeze with the Maxxforce 7 engine. Its brother is supposed to be the 6.4 Powerstroke in the Ford Superduty. This was a decent engine. Much better than the 6.0 debacle but maybe not as good as the bullet proof 7.3. Do I keep looking and maybe buy or run away?
