I'm trying to decide between 2 motorhomes. One is a 2005 with a GM drivetrain 8.1 engine and Allison transmission with 11,430
miles. The other is a 2006 with the Ford V-10 drive train and 34,000 miles. I remember reading that the Fords had trans issues on some earlier years but were improved upon later. To those of you who know what year did they make that upgrade to the Ford tranny? Also should I be worried about the very low mileage on the 2005? Both of these coaches meet my price point and look to be in very nice condition with floor plans that I like. Thanks for reading , any thoughts and input are appreciated.

wtmtnhiker....What did you decide on?
Hello,
I have looked at 7 motorhomes from 2006 to 2012 and every single one had a serious water leak that the owners denied any knowledge of. Some i believed some not. Still looking. Likely will end up with a Ford chassis just because they're more numerous but never know.

If you take it out of context you are the one making irrelevant.
Maybe you could explain the context. The OP was comparing two gas powered coaches and never mentioned a diesel.
Pretty sure the tuna just misread something. Because the word diesel was never even part of the original conversation or any sidebar stuff.

Say wut?
I mean of course the Triton V10 never made it into a production CAR, but there are 100,000s of them in light duty trucks and vans.

At that age, check the roof condition, in person. Look for water leaks. Seriously deduct your offer if you find ANYTHING wrong with the roof or exterior walls. (leaks, bubbles, delaminations, etc.)
