Learn everything you can about diesel engines, go test drive a new one of each brand so you know how they SHOULD sound; drive. Then, head out and see what you can find in the used variety, if you want.
With the size of RV you are considering, you will definitely need a 350/3500 diesel and I would highly suggest a dually. You will not be happy with the setup if you don't.
