Gas Rv's only good for 50,000 miles
Hi David am also sorry to hear about your problem, but I have to disagree with your mechanic. I presently own my 4th MH two class C's and two class A's, all have gone well beyond 50000 miles, and all are still in use. first owned a 1974 Dodge class c with a 360 cid engine it has over 80000 miles and still going, next was a 1978 Chevy class c with a 400 cid has over 90000 miles and still going,(we took it to Alaska when it had more than 60000 miles), then we had a 1987 class a with a Chev 454, it had 63000 mile when we sold it, just seen it about 3 weeks ago it going great and the owner are very happy with it, and our present MH a 1994 34' Bounder with a Ford 460 has 53000 miles runs perfect, uses no oil, (loves gas about 7 mpg), I never start out with a cold engine, and never shut it down without a cool down of at least 5 min. not even for refueling, I use syn. oil Mobil 1 15w-50 in the engine and Mobil 1 in the tranny. service myself at regular interval. I set the cruise at 60/62 mph when on freeways and 57/60 mph on 2 lane roads whether towing or not, tune up the engine on regular schedule. Wishing you better luck in the future, happy trails GB
