My 2001 Monaco knight turned 100k on our trip out west. I have owned it for a little over a year. I have had a few issues with it but seem to have them worked out. The RV preformed pretty well on our trip from Florida to Wyoming and back. It is a little under powered with only a 5.9 Cummins (300 HP). Big hills will slow it down, but I am never in that big a hurry. I considered selling it but we have everything pretty much the way we want it. Replacing it with a substantial upgrade would cost probable at least double what I have in this one. So we have decided to keep it for a while longer. We are planning another trip out west next summer.
My questions is for those who have older motorhomes with over 100k mile on them. Are you confident in your motor to go to 150-200k mileage? I know anything can happen at any time mechanically. I have read a lot of posts of people having major problems with RV that have a lot less mileage them mine.
How long will the little 5.9 go? I will probable keep it a few more years and maybe up to around 150K or so. My Ram had 155k on it when I sold it and it had no issues and probable still running strong. I know maintenance and upkeep is key to keeping any RV in good working order.

Our rig is close to 200,000 miles on Chev 7.4 gas engine. I do normal maintenance each year to anticipate possible problems on the road. I do some have my big shop check other checks.
