New to RVing, GVWR and multiple State DL
Hello everyone! New to the forum, RVing and looking forward to the adventures that open up with RVing. Right now, my local DL office is swamped and not answering this question so I searched the forums...

There are some Bounder MH out there with the Chev engine that can be bought worth the money. Not the strongest or fastest but will get the job done. Select what you tow carefully. That is what kills your power on steep hills and mountains.
I-24 at Monteagle, Tenn is the place I have found that tells me if I have enough power. A 300 Cat engine in a 36' Winnebago was OK. A 425 Cummins in a 40' Damon was more than adequate. Haven't crossed in the present gas V-10 Newmar 40 footer but I am pretty sure it will get across, but I may get passed a lot going up.
Horsedoc,
I know exactly where your talking about. As a Florida native that was my first introduction to hills and when the semi next to me used the emergency off ramp - the whole thing was quite an eye opener. I really wanted to go with a diesel because of that area, better to have more power and not use it than less and have issues. Thank you for the information, that's perfect and help a lot.
