We owned a Trek for several years. It had an Isuzu chassis. Twelve MPG towing a small car. The ride was harsh and the twin beds in the back were exactly six feet - no problem for my wife but a little problem for me. No Magic Bed. It was very slow on hills, but would go anywhere and climb anything. We once spent a couple hours at 12 MPH going from Death Valley to Rhyolite. We traveled the Apache Trail in it.
The drivetrain was indestructible. We bought with 80K and sold it with 130K miles. In that 130K, it had front brakes, an alternator, a valve adjustment and the usual oil changes. I may have replaced a belt.
The Isuzu Trek was probably the most dependable motorhome ever made. There are probably many out there by now with 300K on the odometers.
