This one does have an EGR...

If I owned it, I would leave it stock. Clean out the egr system and egr valve, + all sensors cleaned up once a year .. make sure everything was in really good shape,.. especially as little as you drive it.

-- However, the muffler would likely want to clog up faster then normal due to idling it, or driving it very little. An alternative to the muffler is not a bad option, or at least a spare that can be swapped out / cleaned every couple 3 years would be nice.

With the emissions system in tack, you will want an oil bypass system on it to keep the soot out of the engine. That will help tons towards engine longevity. Just don't fall into that trap of extended oil changes + synthetic garbage. that they try to push onto people who buy bypass systems.


I know commercial vehicles with that enigne, -- egr-only engines are illegal in the communist state, (California), you can get some pretty heavy fines for going there with it. An RV might be the same, not sure. Find out from CARB themselves, not someone else's opinion before you plan on going there with it.
