Itasca Meridian 39K with Cummins 6.7
I am getting close to purchasing a very nice 2008 Itasca Meridian model 39K with the 6.7 liter Cummins engine with 45,000 miles on it. Can anyone comment as to whether this will have adequate power...

I have a 2007 Itasca 39K with the Cat 350 HP 3126 engine. I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains and travel Hwy 395 to Reno frequently. You will not pull Sherwin Grade or top Conway Summit at the legal speed limit. I tow a Ford Explorer behind ours and always say I will be there when we get there. The speed up these grades is around 40 MPH. It is not floored, but I like to allow a margin for the engine to be cool. I have a rear radiator in my coach.
Hope this helps. We are pleased with the coach and its performance.
KCFDCapt,
Ex FD huh? Me too. Anyway, just wondering. You state your '07 Itasca is sporting a "3126"? Ours is an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the CAT C-7 330HP engine. I've always been lead to believe that around 'Sept - Oct of '03 was the change-over from the CAT 3126 series to the C-7 series and, it was C-7 from that point on. So, yours is the first one of that year that is reported with the 3126 engine that I've read of.
