My friend a mechanic at Kenworth when a Kenworth with Cat million mile club decal pulls in
Sez to his service manager you'll never see that on a Cummins

some truckers may say you won't see a Kenworth with a million miles no mater what motor it has, many viewed Kenworths as farm equipment .....the old joke was..."what's a Ken worth ? ...not much". .
then there was the "old truckers never quit....they just get a new Peter built" ...and " the Detroit diesel is a controlled oil leak "
I'm just telling you what I used to hear around truckers..I've had all 3 in work trucks, Cat, Cummins and a Detroit. they were all good motors.
IMO. just about every diesel motor being used today is a perfectly adequate engine that will get your motorhome anywhere you want to go,
I'll bet any of the diesel engines (properly maintained) will outlast most of the mid level motorhomes of today.
Don't forget about the trans., the word I hear, the bigger the Allison, the better the Allison.
for me...it would be far more important to just get a great diesel motorhome that I loved for the layout and the options...
(*with a power to weight ratio of not less than one to a hundred and a side radiator ).
