Hi there
I just bought a Class C 2005 Coachmen Leprechaun. When there is the slightest incline the MH just can’t make it. It got down to 45 mph and revved at 4000 and I had my foot to the metal. It was not gonna go any faster. Also between the driver and passenger seats gets very very hot. When the MH was pulled over to rest, we saw NO leaking and all controls were normal. WHat is the issue so I can get it fixed. Thanks for your help

It's pretty simple, there's nothing wrong with your rig just typical crappy gas engines not made for heavy loads.
I had a 2009 GMC 2500 with the 6L vortec engine. Coming uphill traveling east on I40 at the continental divide I was cranking 4500 rpm and barely making 40 mph. I told my wife then that if we ever did that trip again I would buy a diesel. I now have a 2013 GMC 2500 with the Duramax.
