Diesel engine power
Is a 300hp diesel sufficient for a 36/37 foot motor home? Will a 300hp lug down on hills?

There are many 36 foot coaches with 300 hp diesel engines. 36' diesel coaches probably will weigh around 27K lbs. So I would say yes it is plenty power to move that much weight up hills.
But one thing you have to learn when driving those coaches is to always keep an eye on the tachometer and if it starts to lug down, do not hesitate to shift to a lower gear and keep a certain rpm.
