Ford F53 and V-10 Engine
What kind of experience have you had with mountains and the Ford V-10 F53 setup? Thinking of a new MH with this under it.

Totally impressed, especially with the V-10 and even more with it in the new Thor Daybreak 34XD on the 2013, much improved F-53 Chassis. Far better ride and better handling than we had in the Vista 26P. The Thor makes the third RV with the V-10 with the first one of those being a Class C. Had one 8.1 Chevy/Allison in an '04 Allegro Bay, Loved the coach, disliked the drive train and traded it primarily based on dislike of the drive train. Just finished 1300 mile trip from dealership in Houston to Las Vegas on brand new engine and got 7.1 mpg with cruise set 62-63 mph. Oops, edited for extra info, the 7.1 mph was with a dragging a tow dolly and an '05 Focus.
