Used Cummins Diesel Questions
Thinking about buying an older motorhome (100K miles or less) with Cummins but not sure something(engine) won't be masked at purchase to be a problem after writing the check. Internet sites list a lot of things to look for, but want owner/operator feedback. Also, what is the average yearly cost of ENGINE maintenance when driving is 5-10K miles per year? I'm fairly good at working on gasoline engines but no experience with diesel. Any info will be appreciated!11KViews0likes37CommentsRe: Help. Converting Auto park Brake to manual lever
After replacing the brake shoes and rotten green switch myself with information provided by the "oldusedbear", I NEVER trusted the auto park system. The more I learned about it the worst my fear became. Sold the motorhome. Person who bought it drove it home from her first outing with the parking pedal down and burned up the shoes. So glad to be rid of it! Good luck with a bread truck brake installation.699Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel ?
After reading Lurker 1 post on 9/3 it really makes me rethink this idea. The motorhome is just an easier way of travel for me and the wife as we approach 70 years of age. Buying new is not going to happen and used is always a risk. Gasoline may still be the best way to go for the money. Thanks for the early replies.279Views0likes0CommentsDiesel ?
Sold my class A gasoline Motorhome a couple years ago because we weren't using it enough to justify ownership, storage, etc. Now we are thinking about getting another. Think we would like a diesel but still concerned about how much use it would get. Understand diesels are more expensive to maintain, etc. So here is the question: how many miles per month should it be driven rather than run at the storage unit? Any other advice, pro or con is appreciated.4.6KViews0likes23Comments
