Question on transmission options
We are looking at a 2014 Jamboree Sport 31M. It has a 5 speed transmission, so my question is.....what is the real difference in handling between a 5 speed vs a 6 speed?

The new 6-speed nets a pretty decent fuel economy gain due to its double overdrive. Also, the lower end gears are space closer together so it will make better use of the HP it puts out. The 5-speed is a good transmission on its own however.
What gain is made in fuel economy as far as numbers are concerned. A posting here on the E-450 basically puts it at 8 mpg, with the 6 speed what has been realized.....- The new 6-speed nets a pretty decent fuel economy gain due to its double overdrive.
