Thoughts on 2005/2006 Cummins ISM 500/ Allison 4000?

My wife and I are seriously considering the purchase of a nice used 2006 Newmar Essex pusher with very low millage. I’m not familiar with the Cummins ISM but living in Colorado I really want a combi...

Great engine/tranny combo, great coach. Just make sure it has been properly maintained and everything works. Consider paying for a professional inspection for both the coach things and the chassis/running gear.

We looked at a 2006 Essex with same engine back in 2013 and would have bought it if it had not been smoked in by the prior owner's wife. We ended up with the County Coach we now have.

2006 will be pre DPF and pre DEF so that is a plus.
