Thanks again, everybody, for the great replies and information. I will definitely watch out for the peak----. I bought a Holiday Rambler Vacationer in 2002 which was a very comfortable coach, however, with its 8.1 350 hp engine, the semis were passing me in the slow lane. I had to spend $3,000.00 for a Banks system which made a big difference. I don't want to be buying add-ons again.

Perforeance with a MH is very subjective I would have agreed with the other posters until your last post. If you had the 8.1 eng with the complete Banks system that would bring your HP rating to about 390 HP. You did not post the size or weight of your HR but if it was a similar size and weight I would think it would perform slightly better than your new Ford with 329 HP. Rear end gearing and transmission gearing also come into the equation. Your older workhorse probably had 5speeds were the newer Ford has 6 but I would say it is hard to beet 60 more HP.
