Thanks Jim. I do appreciate your observations. And you are most likely correct. My 4 years of ownership of a Monaco Diplomat DP does not qualify me as a V10 F35 expert. And my 5 years of towing a 14,000 GVW 5'r with a V10 30V F350 4.30 RAR 5 speed trans with a GCWR of 21,000 doesn't qualify me either. But both experiences allow me to speculate what I would or would not do. And I would not hitch another 3000 pounds to it and tow in the Rocky Mountains most of the time.
And I spent plenty of time at 4000 RPMs with that rig. The engine always performed great. But after a while, I got tired of making it rev like that. And listening to it scream. And that is why I went to the diesel to replace it. Because I chose not to do that.
I do not frequent the Class A forum very often. I have no reason to. But when I saw the OP under the 'Newest' heading, I thought I would offer an opinion that was requested.
And didn't I say, His rig would do what he was asking?
Anyway, I hope the OP gets what he wants from all this.
But again Jim...Thanks for your words.
