I have followed 'euro van' motorhomes - they are dogs , barely get out of their own way.
Euro speeds for these trucks/vans are slow ,distances short, they are not suitable for NA
IMHO
I do not know what "Euro Van Motorhome" you have seen but we had one pass us in England doing 80mph. Speed Limit is supposed to be 60mph.
They easily do 75mph here
Sabconsulting on the TC forum drove a Ford class C rental and said "it was really slow"
The van is an E series (sorry, I mean it was a TC cloaked as an E-series van) with the 5.4 Triton gasoline engine. Initially, driving slowly around Aurora the v8 seemed ideal – quiet and smooth. I soon learned later when I needed to push this van up through the Rockies, or accelerate into fast traffic, that the right-hand peddle generated more noise than movement. Having come from a turbo diesel truck this gasser felt painfully slow, but I soon learned you had to drive it like an old lady – just letting it build up speed slowly.
