redguard just sent me this as a PM in reference to my post where I said that gasser RV's have no problems in the mountains with either the climb or the descent.
"you obviously have not driven a larger A gasser loaded in the rockies etc as this statement is pure bunk simply put UNTRUE "
I'll let those of you that have driven their gassers in the mountains respond. I have never had a problem with my Monaco gas coach in the Rockies, but I also never had a problem with the diesel coaches I've owned in the mountains.
Apparently he wanted to call me liar in private. Oh well! :B
As the above posts already seem to indicate, gas RV's do fine in the mountains.
As one who has spent most of his life in and around the Rocky Mountains of Northwestern Montana, crossing and recrossing the Continental Divide in everything from a 1946 Ford pickup to a 32 foot Ford V10 motorhome towing a Dodge Ram 1500 pickup to a gas powered military deuce-and-a-half with 2 600 gallon fuel bowsers on it, to a 1951 Ford pickup fully loaded towing a 1963 Corvair, I say meadow muffins and cow pies to that statement.
My gas motorhome has no problem at all on Marias Pass, Homestake Pass, or Monida Pass.
My previous Class C with the Ford 460 in it didn't either, towing a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited.
