5.4L vs 6.8L in small Class C
We have been looking at Class C vehicles in the 24' range typically denoted as 22H, 23C, etc., we will not be towing a "toad". I see mostly units with the 6.8L V10 but occasionally one pops up with...

I can see where a smaller/lighter coach with the V10 would be lots of fun shooting past the 31 footers in the mountains.
These things even with the V10 are not that fast. Sure they'll pass 31 footers with V10. But they'll be racing at 4000 to do it. I will test my 11000 pounder at some point but I suspect 0-60 times are in the 16 17 second range. Yes I've passed slower motorhomes, but four cylinder cars routinely blow by me.
Drive it nice and mild let it roll back to 50 on a hill @ about 3100 RPM seems to me like the way to go. Sure they'll run all day at 4000 RPM- but I tend to drive so it stays in the mid 3000s or less. The speed and handling prowess of these motorhomes can be overrepresented on these boards.
Just people happy with their RVs. But there are pluses and minuses.
