"Also, how difficult and/or expensive it might be to change the speedometer/odometer to a metric unit. "
Ok, if you are sure it is onlyonly in MPH you may have an issue as replacing the speedometer/odometer could involve some hoops as you will be/could be changing the mileage on the coach. This could be flagged at vehicle registration or flagged on any future car reports(eg CarFax).
I had a coach where there was an electrical issue and the odometer had been reset to zero under the previous owner.
I had to provide signed statements to vehicle registration saying why the mileage was now 40K less than the previous registration.
Not a great big deal, but it was an issue.It still showed up as an issue in CarFax when I sold the coach.
My current 2003 DSDP has both miles and kph. KPH is in small print - I use my GPS as my primary speedometer in Canada. When in the US, everything is good.
If you go that route get everything documented just to be safe.
