Winnebago Adventurer Gasser
We are motorhome "wanna bees" and wish to purchase this year. We have looked for the best floor plan for us and have really wanted a DP. But our favorite floor plan is a gasser that is 39'1" long. We have always been led to believe that once you get that big, you really need a DP. So our concern is power going through the mountains, noise up front, and the life expectancy of the engine.
Does anyone have a big gasser that they have experience with concerning these 3 issues? We are looking at the Winnebago Adventurer 38Q, with a Ford F53 V-10 engine on a 26,000 lb. chassis. I readily admit I know nothing about engines other that what the accelerator pedal does. F53 V-10 means nothing to me.
Since this is really the size rig I am looking for, do I just need to give up what I want in the floor plan and go with a DP. I am confused why Winnebago would put such a large coach on a gasser chassis, but I can learn. Not throwing stones here, trying to learn whether this a big issue or non-issue. Any insights?
For us, this is a 1 time shot, can never replace it. Have saved for this for 40+ years.
Thanks in advance.
