Supercharge my motor

Swap the V10 out for a diesel. It will do what you want.

If it wasn't for the smell, shake, noise, oily feet, cost to fix, and price, I would look at one next time. Gas is so cheap to run, powerful, don't break down in the wrong place. And your friend don't hear you come home late at night.

Get over the heat thing, with the intercooler that will never happen with you pulling a RV. I now have 100,000 miles on my Chev 5.3 with supercharger, every shade tree mechanic on here said it wouldn't last 20,000 miles. It added about 100 hp. Stumps on the hemi fast.
It does cost $7000 thousand or so, so if your card is at the limit like most I know on hear better pass on that.

I don't worry 'bout no heat, Supercharged!

Both my diesels have intercoolers on their turbochargers. Coolest air in the industry running down the highway too! Both intercoolers are located below the radiators, so the radiators breath fully exposed to air. Ram air. Ha!

Would I be correct that your truck does not have stock exhaust? And secondly, is the rest of the engine stock?

Supercharged is running dual stacks out the pick up bed. 6" stacks. That'll keep 'em cool.....waay cool!

Engines with Superchargers run hotter than normal carberated or fuel injection. I had a 55 Chevy with a 427 c.i. BB with a Weiand 671 blower that dyno'd at 721 HP. When running the exhaust headers would get very hot. Header coatings would not do blower motors as the coatings would melt. RV motors will run hotter when climbing long hills and high outside temps. so having a Supercharger will just cause more heat problems when climbing hills, etc. Besides engines have to be setup to run with blowers. IMO

I beg to differ on the cooling thing. The intercooler only farther reduces air flow (and increases air temp) that the radiator sees. You can get along with a supercharged car because you can't use full power very long (like an air-cooled motorcycle). In an MH, you could be at full power for several minutes climbing a long hill-----------that will cause a very noticeable increase in your engine temp.

Who puts an intercooler in front of a radiator? Especially on a MH with all of that frontal area to cut into.

Well, I guess it's about time for the OP to say something.

You would be much wiser to start with a smaller engine that already has a turbo, such as Ford ecoboost. A turbo on a small engine makes much more sense for an RV. Turbos tend to be more efficient, and in a truck, you really are not concerned about turbo lag. A smaller engine will give you the efficiency, and the turbo will give you the power and torque. Because of the turbo, you end up with a flat torque curve, so plenty of guts to get you rolling. Ford's ecoboost is rated 365 HP and 420 ft-lbs of torque, which should be a pretty good match.
