If I were shopping for a MH I certainly would not run from the engine and transmission set up, just to find the V-8. It will not be the greatest thing that ever happened to the RV Industry and the RV's world.

I too am quite pleased with my V10 (2019). And quite possibly I’d like the newer engine ever more but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it and even have some reluctance to purchasing any engine in its first year of production. But it’s also correct that the whole thing is moot now since the older engine no longer is available. But in shopping for a used coach I wouldn’t give it a whole lot of weight. But that’s just me.

My V10s have been reliable and durable, so not complaining.

What I don’t like about V10s I’ve driven, including my own, is that they are not smooth compared to old pushrod V8s from 50 years ago. Im hoping new V8s are even smoother.
