Have been full-timing retired in a diesel pusher for 4 years now.
Is my 7th MH. First diesel pusher. Was the best decision I have ever made. I got tired of chasing 454 problems. The pushers are built to travel, half million mile chassis.
Bought a '02 Newmar Dutch Star in '11. Paid 60k. Window sticker in the file said $439k in '02. It had 30k miles. Looked like new, in and out. Set of tires cost me $1600. Has a Cummins 350HP Allison 6 speed trans, both computer controlled. I've put 30k on it, I did have one problem. Threw the A/C belt idling in Albuquerque. Took me 20 minutes to change in a Napa parking lot.
Two of us can go 20 days without needing a hookup. Short straw is grey water.
You'll never look back, I follow the sun.
Definately buy used. Buy an extended warranty until you get thru a maintenance cycle. Find one with slideouts. Don't know if the Bluebirds do that.
