Hi Jerry,
Currently Freightliner has several thousand trucks sitting around they are having a hard time selling. For the past couple of years they have been refurbing higher mileage trucks in Utah. They install new tires, batteries, paint, and dress up the interior.
They try to bump the price up pretty good if they can. Always check the mileage on any truck you buy. Check the ECM mileage against the odometer and check the hub meter on the axle if there is one. I would stay away from trucks with more than 650, 700K miles.
If I were building a motorhome on a truck chassis, I would look at day cabs, unless I wanted the full walk through from the truck into the coach.
It might be a good idea to look at various brands of trucks from several different sources.
Just my two cents,
onezman
