All I care about is that our old 2001 34' coach with its V-10 towing our 3500 lb toad pulls the 6% grade at Fancy Gap, VA and other hills holding its own with the rest of the traffic. Faster than some, slower than others. We haven't met a hill yet we couldn't get over though. Since the majority of our time, like nearly all RV'ers, is spent living in our RV, not driving or towing it, the floor plan was much more important to us than the how it gets down the road. All I ask for on that end is reliability, stability, and minimal maintenance costs.
I have to agree with you and back in 2011 the reason I went 425HP 40 diesel is we live in it for 5.5 months and needed house quality atmosphere, good power for rocky and cascade mountains etc ,stability
big one was quietness when powering through the mountain passes
just all the quality and comforts and heavy duty build one gets from
this type MH where gassers just don't meet those specs at all
but yes it was much much more $$ also
