Coachman 24 foot motor home.
I am getting ready to purchase a 24 ft. Coachman motor home. One more question! I am going to pull a buick 4000 lb. toad. Is the chevy a better frame for pulling or the ford V 10? Thank you in adv...

OP, we tow about 4k lbs with our 28QB. It handles the weight okay. On a recent 6% grade, we were holding at 25mph for most of the 8 miles.
The 6.0 / 6sp trans seem to be adaquate for the job.

IMHO: Any 28' Class C that can only hold 25 mph on a 6 per cent grade is badly overloaded and very unsafe to drive. My 24' 2012 E-350 loaded to 11,000# on a GVWR of 11,500# can easily cruise up any 6 to 8 per cent grade at 55 and that includes towing my Harley - bike and trailer weigh 900#.
I suspect your rig has serious mechanical issues to perform so poorly. Good luck.
