I believe these motorhomes are built on the Sprinter 3500 chassis. I'm not worried about maintenance/repair as I do all my own. What do you mean by proprietary? Are you refering to OBD 2 or other systems? I'm fine with OBD systems but if I can't get into others with scan tools/laptop software like Auto Enginuity, that might be a problem. I will check that out. |

I hear that’s a little tricky. Regardless of whether you do your own maintenance or not, it will be significantly more expensive. Safe to assume you’d go diesel? The oil and filter for the 3.0 MB diesel is way more expensive than your v10. Fuel filters, DEF, etc. |

JMHO, but that 3L has to work pretty hard, especially if towing. Also not a fan of all the emission$ on “modern” diesels. The new Ford Godzilla motor is pretty stout. |

Simple advice. Don't do it. |
