Should have bought the Fiat Ducato version of the Sevel van Jerry - the 2.3 litre engine used in the Fiats is a bomb-proof Iveco unit. I have had 4 motorhomes with differing versions of this engine & all have used no oil between changes. Decent fuel consumption as well, typically around 30-32 mpg for a van & 2 bike trailer combo running at around 4.1 tonnes.
The miserable Euro 6 "170 hp" Transit I made the misatke of buying was dire by comparison - low to mid 20s fuel consumption & used oil. One of it's many recalls before I ditched it was to fit a shorter disptick to increase the useable sump capacity by a litre due to the high oil consumption. Utter POS, I got rid after 6 months for another Fiat.
Older model Mercs (i.e pre-current model) don't get too good a write-up from motorhome users - not great reliabilty, poor finish & high dealer costs.
