New to this forum, it's great. I'm looking to buy a bus for rv conversion. Which is the best drive train? Whether front engine, or pusher, there are quite a few types, which ones perform and last the longest? Most importantly: which ones to avoid? Things such as 'cavitation' can ruin one's day. I'm leaning toward front engine, leaving the rear for bike storage. We hope to go anywhere an rv can, flat interstates to the Rockies. I've never worked diesels and the hp ratings seem low for that much weight, but the must perform well, or there would not be many out there. I understand gearing and rearend ratios, just have no experience with which is best? Is 70mph on flat surface as a cruising speed unrealistic? I know there will be differing opinions on this, but I'll read them all. I suppose dependability is top priority. Appreciate all help!:
