Chevy 350 V8 Big Enough engine?
Hi folks.. my 1st post here.
My wife and I and 5 kids are thinking of buying a 22-25ft class C motorhome. We are buying used (under $30k).
The main purpose of this unit will be to travel in comfort not to sleep in. We are planning a spring break trip to Florida this spring. We will drive in the motorhome and sleep at the resort or hotels.
We found a cream puff 03' Coachman freedom 25ft with 26000 miles with a Chevy 350V8. My dad tells me it's a little less desirable because most people are wanting the get up and go of a 400? 454? So the engine is great quality but not real quick. But he also said it's a good engine and I should get better gas milage.
My main concern is freeway speed. If there are 7 of us traveling in this unit with luggage will we be able to travel at reasonable freeway speeds (say 70mph or so) or will we be stuck at 55 or 60 with a line of traffic climbing all over us?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give some advice.
