Thanks for the input. I have owned severall gas MHs so I understand that the unexpected happens. Through the opinions I've received, I believe my choice of diesel engines is going to be between Detroit and Cummins, in that order. I'm hoping that the DPs interior's are built better than the gas MHs are. I've done many repairs on gas MHs.
Not having any experience with diesel generators, I appreciate all information about them. I bought an RV with a 5500 watt Onan gas generator that had 2600 hours that, while it worked, it started smoking right away. Because of that, I want to be fairly sure of the life expectancy before I buy big hours. I know these big diesel generators will be quite expensive to repair.
Thanks to all who have contributed to my continuing research, and to anyone who has an experience willing to share. I prefer to learne from other's fortunes or misfortunes. I know there are plenty misfortunes to go around.
