I think it's just a bit over 100k. The original tranny blew out around 30k miles or so, but they installed a trans oil cooler with the new one (performed under warranty in Fairfield) and haven't had any problems since. That happened pulling a 9000 lb RV, and their new trailer weighs 12,000 and they haven't had any problems. Also, it once blew a tire in the rear and when it came unwrapped it tore the fender all up, but that was repaired and came out fine. I can't think of any other mechanical issues, but if there were any they will tell me, and probably have the paperwork from it too. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it another round of maintenance and replace all the usual wear items and fluid, but you could probably do all that for like $250.
