8.1L and W22

[Looney2nz]

Looking at buying a 2003 Kountry Star 37' with 20,400 miles on it. Am wondering how good or bad is this coach? Does it have problems with the brakes? Seems that I read something about it. Is the 8.1 GM engine good? Im looking to upgrade from a 2001 Class C with the Ford V 10 engine. My v10 is a really strong engine thus the questions about the W22 and 8.1. Any info would be great. Thanks folks. Asking price is almost 40K.

I went from a 1999 V 10 to a 2005 8.1. Both were 36 ft class A.

The 8.1 has a little more power on the hills. No difference in gas mileage.

Yes there was a recall on the brakes. Just make sure it was done.

W22 is pretty light chassis for a 37' MH. 8.1 is good engine but I would look for a W24 chassis.
