Ford V10 engine
Looking to purchase around a 36 ft class a motorhome to go full timing and wondering how the ford V10 is holding up. Will be towing a vehicle with it also. Please give good and bad points.

So, after reading all these replys & owning a 99 F53 V10 myself & knowing what a good unit it is, I think if I was to design a chassis system for Ford, it would be the same chassis, 362HP V10 engine, 6 speed Allison auto, 22.5 buds & adjustable air ride instead of springs. Then require the coach MFGs to support their coach bodys with some sort of cushioning between the coach body frame work, instead of welding it direct to the chassis rails.
With all of that, what do you think the ride would be like.

But the Ford tow-haul 5 speed trans is pretty good now, why change that out, also one can install their own air bags, I did and it made a big difference, even got rid of the hard ride Bilstiens and installed Monroe shocks, the Ford chassis is pretty good the way it is just needs some improvements to make it better.
