As for comparing engine HP to a 3.3L diesel you will have a bunch more power from the larger gas engine, and it can run all day at 4,000 RPM climbing hills, ect, pulling a large trailer and such. The Ford F-450 motorhomes have a 14,050 GVWR (total weight limit on all 6 tires) and a 22,000 GCVWR (total of motorhome and what it is towing). So with a 13,000 curb weight, a F-450 based motorhome can have 1,000 pounds on the hitch, and be towing a trailer with a 9,000 pound total weight.
The 3litre Diesel IVECO Daily, 70C at 15,400lb GVWR and a 23,000lb GCVWR , 6,600-7,200lb (towing at a slightly less GVWR) a RAWR greater than a F450 is the real EXCEPTION to the rule, but it is not sold in NA
