Not a Class A Response, but here is my before and after:
Before
2004 Chevrolet 2500HD extended cab 4x4 6.0L Gas
2007 Keystone Cougar FW (Approx 9800#)
Speed on 6% grade - 35-40mph.
After
2013 Ford F350 Crew Cab, 4x4 6.7L Diesel
2014 Grand Design Reflection (Approx 12,900#)
Speed on 6% grade - 60-65mph with more pedal if I needed it!
Granted, the Chevy was 10 years older, and only had the 4 speed transmission. You can stay with a fifth wheel if desired and have all the power you need. But I'm guessing that if you want a MH, you'll see similar results in the power plants.
