With Newmar I've seen even a couple of Newmar 5th wheels being worked on at their Customer Service Center. Didn't even know they made 5th wheels at one point..... Also met a couple with an 05 Dutch Star at the facility where they had a lot of work conducted on it.

Many of the older coaches are very serviceable chassis wise as those companies..when they went bankrupt were bought by other RV - Coach companies.
Cummins ISX550 / 600 / 650 issues are not limited to Country Coach units...Other owners also report common Cummins valve issues related to EGR system, though seems less common on engines of lower HP.
Paint crazing / checking is common to ALL mid 2000s assembly line coaches. Had something to do with fiberglass makeup back then off gassing under the paint. Worse on dark colors.
