The ZF transmission has 2 overdrives.
1st 4.696, 2nd 3.130, 3rd 2.104, 4th 1.667, 5th 1.285, 6th 1.000, 7th 0.839, 8th 0.667,
1st gear is deep enough to start a load on a grade so that isn't a worry. The double overdrive won't come into play if hold transmission to no higher than 6th. Transmission heat would seem to be a potential problem but that can be worked around. So maybe it will all work out. Thinking about Airstream in 19' to 22' range. Our traveling will be mostly to club campouts and destinations within 200 miles. Thanks for the responses!
