Really it is a bus!!! On a local for sale site here near home I had posted a WTB looking for maybe a hidden rig I could pick up.. A lady sent me back this information on her fathers unit..

It is a 2004 Gulf Stream Crescendo with less than 7000 miles on it. It is 38' with 3 slide outs. It is what they call a 'diesel pusher'. It has a 350 HP Caterpillar diesel with a 6 speed Cummins automatic transmission. It has an on-board generator, microwave/convection oven, two-door refrigerator/freezer 4 burner stove/oven. It has a MotoSat satellite system on the roof (a $7000 system).

If you want some more detailed information you can contact my father-in-law directly

and gave me his contact info.. I went and looked up those on line. Good grief,, maybe if I sold my house and land and moved into it full time... good grief.

I really don't understand the reason for this post either? They make high end unit for those that can afford them, just like they make lower end units, something for everyone!! You certainly can't call it camping in one of those fancy things!! I have a hard time calling it camping in our trailer.

Compared to what else is available, a 38-foot Crescendo is a relatively modest diesel pusher. You can find motorhomes at all prices between $300 and $3,000,000. What works for you may not be somebody else's dream.

Price relative to a stick house doesn't say much either, prices of those are all over the place: a $8,000 house in my town might be a $800,000 house in San Jose.

For a motorhome on a tighter budget, especially for a single, consider something older, something smaller, or something older and smaller.

Some call it drinking in the woods when you move out of a tent to a RV.

I find some of those things overwhelming, too! To see something the size of an old Greyhound Scenic Cruiser in private hands going down the road...

OK, here is what I posted locally," Looking to buy a Motor home or Class C or so unit...

If you have one or know of a good one,, I DO NOT want a major fixer
upper,, let me know.. and I do not need financing."

So, yea, I guess it could be interrupted to mean a bus unit,,

OH well, I can go remve the post over at the site.

You're right Cummins doesn't but CAT does, only used with CAT engines though.
