For the life of me, I don't see how 200HP could adequately haul around that much weight in, say, the Canadian or U.S. Rockies. Horsepower is horsepower, and diesel horsepower is no different than gas horsepower - assuming that the designers put the right gear ratios into tansmissions and differentials in order to transform crankshaft torque into drive axle torque.
Maybe Iveco Daily RV drivers are happy with going slower overall, than North American RV drivers?
Not much different than a large diesel pusher motorhome with 400-500 horsepower weighing in a 35-40000 lbs. It's also a similar power/weight ratio to the diesel Sprinter. Not exactly blistering performance, but certainly adequate.
Yes and has the ability to be vastly more adaptible. It's performance is the surprising thing about the IVECO. A 26ft Class C was pulling a middize SUV up a reasonable hill and the engine was loping along at 60mph
