Are gas Class A's underpowered to tow a toad in any area with mountains or large hills.
I have read people with gassers say that they are powerful enough for them to tow a toad anywhere. And I have read that no gas motor Class A has the power and that you need a diesel motor.
What is the truth, not opinion on this?
Back to the OP.
Fact is, it's your opinion that counts. If you have a towed over 5k, few gas MH will do that. Diesels are generally Turbo Charged, Cummins rates theirs to produce sea level HP up to 10,000 ft. Gas motors, unless boosted, don't do that. A naturally aspirated gas motor will have lost 40% of is rated HP at 10k ft. On the down hill side few gas motors have exhaust brakes, none have compression brakes, 'cause what goes up…must come down.
