Why the rebuilds?

[bingomaster05]

I am new to your forum, and plan on purchasing a Wanderlodge within the
next two years. I feel that a used "Bird" is better than most new
coaches on the market. But here is the question: If a diesel engine is
capable of up to a million miles, why do so many units I have found
listed for sale have rebuilt engines? Most of these units have just
slightly over 100,000 miles. Is this mainly due to being poorly
maintained and general neglect, or the fact that they sit for extended
periods of time. I see units with about 100,000 miles and think they
are hardly broken in, yet they may need rebuilt, it will make it harder
to know what to choose. Thanks alot..this is a great site.
