uncleluap,
Please explain this, because I don't believe it's the reason:

"......The reason you don't see gassers in bigger MH's is that the people with the money for a 40' MH are also willing to pay the money for an air-ride suspension system and to have the engine/transmission in the back (quieter)...."

sorry cant help you as i never posted that dribble? I laughed actually when i saw that as in my opinion thats not the reason.I think u mixed up my stuff with others perhaps/

427435 I absolutely disagree with your statement:
Again, it's not the torque but the hp (and enough gears) that actually move a MH uphill.
The reason you don't see gassers in bigger MH's is that the people with the money for a 40' MH are also willing to pay the money for an air-ride suspension system and to have the engine/transmission in the back (quieter).

first off air ride suspention has nothing to do with what we are discussing and as i alluded to earlier there just is not a gas engine avaialable that has the torque or durabilty to propel 40Ft+ 36k+ motorhomes down the road.
its been tryed before and failed miserable

This is how it appeared, WITHOUT quotation marks. That's the reason I mistook it for yours. Sorry

I trust 427435 will pick it up.
