1. Happy with your choice?
Extremely happy with my choice.
2. Are maintenance cost as high as you were lead to believe?
So far the only maintenance cost is one oil change at $65. I had to replace one injector at $350, and I am rebuilding the rear suspension. I attribute both to it being used and don't really see it as a maintenance cost that would have changed my mind in the purchase.
3. What gas rig did you switch from, to which diesel?
Had 06 F150 and now 06 Dodge 3500
4. What are you pulling and what is its GVW?
Pulling a 2012 Sprinter - lists at 8700 but I am sure that fully loaded to camp we are well over 10K, scale trip coming in a couple weeks after suspension is done.
5. Will your next TV be Gas or Diesel?
This one has only 190K miles so I am hoping I can maintain it to between 300K and 500K miles as many others have done. By then the technology will change so I really can't say which way I would go. May be downsizing by then, or a class C or A.
