What brand of RV are you looking at? It is extremely rare for a 40' motorhome of any price range to have the IXB-6.7 engine in it. A lot of them have the 360hp ISC engine in them that has 950 ft-lb of torque. Unless you are bothered by the slower hill climbing ability of this combination, in my opinion it would be more than adequate to meet your needs.

I'm not so sure you're accurate. I think you meant ISB 6.7. Many motorhomes are (were) equipped with the ISB 6.7. 0ur 2013 Fleetwood Expedition has it in it - 360 hspwr & 800 lb-ft torque. It's almost 42' long. I believe the Discovery (2013) got the ISC 6.9 - 380 hspwr - 1200 lb-ft torque.

We've had no issues pulling a 4600 lb Jeep Liberty. It's rated to pull 10,000 lbs, I believe it will.

something rated for 10K does not always correlate to what motor the unit has. I have a 425ISC in my 40ft unit with a 50HP module add on
I pull a 3600lb toad and I barely have adaquite power on mountain passes.I would not ever want to own the same size unit such as your unit with a ISB 360HP.

But if the manufacture say's you're within the weight specifications on the coach and combined weight specs and it has room left over - the rig can pull a 10,000 lb toad, trailer, dolly. My setup as traveling would allow me a 10,000 vehicle being towed and still under the weight capacity.

I have no doubt it would be fine. Not going to win any races up the mountain side, but it'll get me up and down just the same with probably more fuel in the tank at the end of the day.

Just curious why you wouldn't go up a hill in a MH designed to do it. What is the problem with your coach on the mountains? I pulled a 17,000 lb fiver and the dually weight up and down the mountains and switchbacks traveling to Yellowstone with a ISB 6.7 engine with less horsepower and torque than what I currently have.I would do it with this MH without concern anymore then anyone else.
