We are looking at this Gulf Stream and have a couple questions for you experts:
First, is there anything in particular we should be looking at?
This RV has the Mercedes 330 HP engine. We are a little concerned that the Mercedes will mean more expensive parts and labor then say a standard Cummins engine.
Also, it is a 42' so I'm assuming the 330 HP is plenty enough engine to get up and over the smokey mountains.
Thanks in advance

This is a great engine, and is serviced by any Detroit Diesel Shop. It puts out 1000 lbs of torque giving it plenty of power for the mountains. I have not spent much time in the Smokey Mountains but I have traveled the Rockies with this engine and was impressed with its performance.
