When was the last time you changed the fuel filter? The only time we had power problems when towing with our 2001 Winnebago Adventurer 32V in the mountains was when the fuel filter started to plug up.
We have driven through the Eisenhower tunnel many times with no problems, took it to Alaska(in and out of Skagway is a 12% grade for 12 miles), to the Canadian Maritime provinces, and literally through all the lower 48 states. We pulled either our Buick LeSabre on a dolly, or our Jeep 4 down over 100,000 miles.
Only one time did we have a performance problem. When I removed partially plugged the fuel filter it felt like it weighed 10 lbs. After changing the fuel filter it ran like new.
