Thinking about buying an older motorhome (100K miles or less) with Cummins but not sure something(engine) won't be masked at purchase to be a problem after writing the check. Internet sites list a lot of things to look for, but want owner/operator feedback. Also, what is the average yearly cost of ENGINE maintenance when driving is 5-10K miles per year? I'm fairly good at working on gasoline engines but no experience with diesel. Any info will be appreciated!
depends on what it is?? ISB ISC ISL etc example ISL oil is good to 20K miles;; I change oil and filter every 3 years 0r 13K miles
Fuel filters (dual) good for 4 years at 4K per year etc
air dryer about 5 years depends on type of driving (water/temps etc)
it really depends on engine size and year and miles driven for sure
however at 100K miles Iam sure its got lots of life left assuming it was decently looked after
