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

The torque/HP question arises periodically. My question is: do all of these engines produce rated torque at the typical 1,600 RPM? What is the difference in the torque/RPM curves?
Torque and rpm values vary greatly even among the same engines. My ISB 260 produces 550 ftlbs torque at 1900rpm while another version of that same engine is available with 260HP, 660Ftlbs at 1600rpm.
