The power would be among the least of your worries! The most important thing to do is to get the numbers for cargo carrying capacity (CCC) and the vehicle weight rating. If the RV is overloaded on total weight or an axle then how fast you can drive is a moot point. Seven passengers & their cargo add up fast, so get those numbers before pulling the trigger on a purchase. And DrewE is spot on! Most LT tires are speed rated for 65 mph, even if this particular RV wouldn't be overloaded with your entire family, most here would strongly recommend not consistently going the max speed of the tires, especially if you're close to maximum weight. On a side note, why buy a motorhome for driving comfort & then add the expense of a hotel? It kind of defeats the purpose of a motorhome... not trying to be combative, just curious
