Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
Just curious.. No matter how much research you do , it seems there is no substitute for owning and using a MH.. Anyone buy one and then realize you made a mistake on the first one.. If so, how did you...

We are looking at purchasing a 1996 35' Pace Arrow Vision. It has the Banks exhaust. I too believe the rig is maxed out go through hills. During our daylong test drive, while on hilly state roads at 55 mph I found that if I clicked off the OD just before a hill it did not lug the engine down going up a good-sized hill. It did turn about 3500 rpm at 55 mph with the OD off. Going down the interstate it did not seem to be a problem in OD on those hills at 65 mph. The engine turns about 2500 rpm at 65 mph in OD.
It also has the Steer Safe steering damper on it. This is one size BIG shock. It adds to the amount of effort required to guide the rig and makes turns a little stiffer than I'd like. We both love the floor plan. It's head and shoulders above anything else we seen. We owned a class C with the 460 in it. This is one tough motor. It never uses oil. We made an offer. Now we're waiting on the dealer to come down on the price.
A friend of ours has a Trek with a GM diesel. He hates the diesel. It's under powered and runs hot. He added a chip in the computer and added Jake brakes. He said the diesels are scary coming down the mounts out west without Jake brakes on the exhaust. Good luck with the Banks conversion.
