You will be able to go up and down any hill you encounter (or at least would at all care to encounter). It may not be the fastest or quietest process in the world, but the Ford chassis will get the job done, without a doubt. The V10 is a well-proven, reliable engine, and rarely has major problems.
That's not to suggest that diesel pushers don't have their advantages--they do, particularly in terms of quietness and overall comfort--but the gas powered motorhome will perform entirely adequately. If you compare the power to weight ratios, you may find that the gas motorhomes are better than many diesels, at least at lower elevations. Neither one will have the acceleration and zippiness of even a basic modern car, of course. Both ought to outperform many heavily loaded semi trucks, however.
