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?
Check out the Spartan "Extol" Chassis.
More Hp, more torque, Allison tranny, all on an air ride chassis!
Now if we could get a RV manufacturer to build a coach on it.
