I think that has the 6.0-
My 2006 PW Lexor is similar- usually the RV model year is 1 year after the chassis...so my chassis is a 2005.
I find the 6.0 3spd+OD, drivetrain to be well matched to the weight, very well matched for moving the weight from a stop, and the tranny for slowing on 6% grades.
as far as gut room- my steering wheel is closer to me than most other vehicles I own- not nascar close, but close...not sure about the gut and you should find one to sit in ....you could also swap steering wheels...a smaller diameter. the steering wheel doesn;t have any electronics in it, just the horn.
I think you are asking all the right kinds of questions ... the more you look the better you'll be.
looks like a starting asking price on that unit...low 20's ?
BTW as you are eyeballing stuff- I think RT's always have 3 windows across the top of the cap- easy to spot them from a distance.
