Folks, we came from a Rialta Winnebago on a VW (volkswagen) Eurovan chassis. When I did have minor engine problems (Pollution air pump failure due to bad designa), our local VW dealer wouldn't repair the problem. (they would sell me the new air pump at an inflated price however).
My cousin has a Dodge Mercedes Van. When they were some 2000 miles out here in Phoenix Arizona their Mercedes Turbo died on them. Long story short, Mercedes dealer would not work on the engine because they seen there was an outstanding Dodge recall on their vehicle. They went to the Dodge dealer, and he checked their Vin #, no, there was no outstanding recalls. SO..... since he was good at fixing, he fixed his Mercedes Dodge, himself in a Walmart parking lot.
Just my two cents.... Been there done that, so I ordered my PC on a Ford Chassis. Only problem I have had at 60k miles is the seat belt malfunctioned while up in the mountains of Wyoming... Got down to the valley of Laramie and Ford dealer took care of it 100 percent. So just saying... Ford is everywhere.... I love the Engine V!0, Transmission 6 speed especially coming down mountains, and the availability of fuel, and dealerships. If you travel the good Ol USA, one finds themselves in some really remote area?
We do.
So judge your decision accordingly.
