undecided before buying

We are looking for a 2015 Class A gas. We have narrowed it down to 5 that we are considering. Fleetwood Southwind 36L, Fleetwood Bounder 36E, Forest River Georgetown XL 369DS, Thor Challenger 37KT, and Winnebago Vista 36Y. Our biggest concern is Horsepower. We want to go up hills/mountains at Yellowstone, Utah, West Virginia and such. Not continuously of course but on a trip or two. Can anyone offer advice to which if any would be best in this scenario? Any other opinions would be welcome of these models as well.... thank you, alfur

Since you're pretty much limiting yourself to a gas puller they're going to be pretty much all the same and on a Ford chassis, as it's about all that's available these days. It will do fine in all sorts of terrain, as our old Chevy does. Pulling a toad of reasonable weight won't be a problem either and even over the Rockies and Appalachia. Pretty much means that some put the house on the chassis better than others for air flow around the engine and thru the radiator. Also the bigger and heavier the house, the harder everything has to work on the chassis.
