My coach was built by a NASCAR team (Bill Davis Racing). He was a Cat rep so he spec'd a Caterpillar engine. They had to make special plates and such to route the serpentine belt. Apparently everyone was so thrilled with the engine that the started offering it as an option.
My engine is a C-12 rated at 505HP (I forget torque number). The C-12 was used in lots of marine applications and in installed in a few Newells. Soon after the 2003 model year, Newell started using the C-15s.
For me the engine has been completely bullet proof. It gives plenty of power and delivers around 7.4 Miles per gallon economy.
