Ford V10 Power, effectivity

Since this seems to be the primary gas engine for motorhomes, and all applications are the same engine and power. Is there a general consensus on coach weigh where the engine no longer seems acceptable, and most people would wish they went with the diesel engine coach?

I know its subjective, and depends on the hills typically driven and we can all learn to accept the slow lane :). It just surprised me that all of these different weight coaches have the same engine.

The only answer I can give is by weight, my setup total weight by Cat Scales is 26620 lbs, I just came back from a 2000 mile trip and over the Colorado Rockies on I-70 and my motorhome performed better than I thought it would, no problem keeping it at or above 45 MPH in many areas on the highway {I-70 Rockies} and still maintain 30 plus at the steepest parts without maxing out RPM's, the 3 valve V-10 in my book is powerful once you do some mods.
