As a former owner of a MH, and a retired Long Distance trucker, I would suggest that you stay away from anything (MH) that has a Freightliner chassis, and a Cat engine, unless it's a real late model engine ! The earlier model Cat engine is pretty much a Throw Away engine ! Cheaper to replace, than repair ! The thing with Freightliner Chassis is they don't have the towing capacity in weight, of others, such as a Sparten chassis, or Roadmaster, both excellant, Amongst the top availible ! My MH was a Damon Escaper, 40', with a 350hp Cummins pusher, and full air ride suspention, with frt A arms ! This unit is a little above entry level , but a great unit ! Get as much HP as your wallet can handle ! Stay ahead of the maintaince, and you will enjoy the coach ! The bigger the unit, the more capacities , such as Black Water (waste), Grey water, sink, shower, drinking etc. ! Race safe, and see the USA !.....John

I've done the Dualie w/trailer thing, and it's mostly space and comfort ! Get used to running around at 65 ' or less If you have a well setup PU, such as a Diesel, you're ahead of the game ! HP, fuel mileage, etc ! I still have my 96 Dodge dualie, w/cummins, and a 5 sp, w3.54 gear, and it now has 322,500 miles, and towing a 28 ' Pace Big Foot trailer I get 15-17 mpg, at 65 mph ! The pump has been played with !.............Have fun ....John
