Default Cummins in other Rigs?

I was driving down the highway the other day and I saw two brand new Holiday Rambler motorhomes. They were trucking along at about 70 mph and they both had Cummins badges on them. Do these things use the 5.9/6.7 or something bigger? Just curious.

Thisjust got me thinking about my grandpa and how heused to have a 1950 Flxible Bus that was converted into a motorhome and it had a 4-cylinder Detroit Diesel. The thing would run 90 mph all day. It was a pretty sweet ride.

Freightliner uses the ISB engines in their mid-line trucks. I've seen them in the FL50 and FL60 trucks. FedEx also uses the ISB in some of their delivery vehicles. There are plenty of RVs and a few boats that also have the 5.9 in them.

I know a guy that works in the lumber industry and he had a machine that looked like a back hoe, but it had a hydraulic claw on it instead of a bucket. It was used to pick up trees and load them into trucks. He claims it had a 5.9 in it also.
