Luke, those are good questions. I think your biggest issue here is that motor home drivers drive their motor homes like they drive their cars. Probably the biggest cause of catastrophic failure is over heating. Over the road truckers are trained to pay attention to RPMs, their gauges, know when to down shift, and when to back off the throttle. All it takes is one time pushing to hard up a hill to destroy a motor. If you get an oil analysis on the engine and transmission and everything is okay there shouldn't be a problem.
