Newer Ford V10 Gas Mileage
So, the Ford V10's with the Torqueshift 5-speed, what kind of mpg are you getting? Yes, I know alot depends on coach size and weight, but on average, how much?

See that the newer V10s don't don't do any better than my old HR with a Dodge 440 did. The big issue with it was not enough gears and the brakes in the mountains. Lost the brakes once. This is why I am considering a diesel Pusher.
But you not figuring in the weight of the new motorhomes, most here that get 7 mpg are around 20,000lbs plus toad..
That's what I'm thinking
On my 3rd rv over 20 years, all Ford gassers
My mpg has stayed about the same but my weight has doubled
Yep same reason why many trucks get about the same mileage as ones over 20 years ago, they are bigger and heavier.
