Ford Transit diesel
Looking at possibly getting a Transit unit. Any pro's or con's?

My friend had the first model that came out on a Winnebago Fuse. He had a nightmare of a time with the Ford portion with oil leaks, check engine lights, a front windshield that cracked on it's own while stored. To make matters worse, he had to take it to a Ford truck repair shop and wait weeks for them to work on it. In terms of the check engine light and oil leak the shop never did figure out what caused these issues and only could shrug their shoulders as to what the causes were.
The Winnebago portion was not much better and presented a lot of fit and finish issues along with drawers that would continue to roll open because the catches wouldn't hold. One particular glaring problem was the rear portion of the vehicle was real low to the pavement and was damaged twice going down a driveway. My understanding is that Ford has redesigned the Transit to prevent this.
My friend traded this rv in for another brand and this Transit sat for about a year on the dealers lot because it's reputation preceded it.
