Terry, I used an 8.1 powered Winnebago for 14 years, it was trouble free with the exception of the front brakes, front calipers were replaced a couple of times and the dash air was terrible no matter what I tried. The advantages of the 8.1 is the power and they were equipped with Allison transmissions in the workhorse chassis. I have a v-10 Ford now and really miss the 8.1 and Allison. If you can find a clean unit with the 8.1 I highly recommend.
