Enough Horsepower?
Engine options on a 24' Winnebago or Itasca are the Ford V8 350, at 255 HP and the diesel 3.0 L, 188 HP engine. Any suggestions about the choices?

HP and torque are related. To get HP, you take torque and multiply it by RPM, then divide by 5250. More torque? More horsepower.
And more to the point ... you can merely use the rules of math for manipulating the above equation to see that to get torque showing by itself on the left side of the equation, HP winds up on the right side of the equation and must be directly increased to get an increase in torque.
