Trion V10
This past Sat I heard on local radio station call in program about anything automotive/off road etc where a caller asked about the Triton V-10 in a Class A and the host more/less shot the engine down....

The biggest complaints are :
• Loud, because it has to use lower gear/higher RPM to climb hills
• Not the best fuel economy.
I experienced the opposite. I had two of the chevy chassis and then one V10. the chevys seemed to drop to a lower gear quicker and roar whereas the v10 seemed smoother.

Now it's a pickup not MH but I agree compared to other pickups.
If it's turning 3000-3500rpm to climb a grade, it's smooth and quiet about it.
I agree. My 02 Excursion with the V-10 and 4.30 gears was somewhat loud at WOT. But I also had a K&N cold air intake on it. Now with the class A even sitting on top of the engine I can talk to my wife normally even when climbing a mountain. I do definitely believe the insulation and the way it’s built have a lot to do with it.
