You don't say what engine you have, I'm guessing it's an ISL. I owned a 2005 Monaco Diplomat with the ISL. I know that Monaco, with their Roadmaster chassis, made the hitch an integral part of the motor mount. I also know that the rear bumper assembly has a center section that is bolted on. Once it's removed and the doors open, the engine should be removable from the rear. I may be mistaken, but I think many of these engines are rebuilt in place.
I would seriously question the information the shop is giving you. I would also check your serial number yourself, against the recall campaign Cummins had for wrist pin issues. The numbers were 46543077 thru 46603939.
If your engine does fall within those numbers, I would make a call to Cummins. I always thought this recall, where the engine could blow, was never handled correctly by Cummins. They put a stupid sensor on to tell you when it would blow, but wouldn't warranty the engine past the standard warranty.
