Shop around and see if you can find a Diesel class C. I had the V-10 and it was so sick on HP and torque it would change gears going up and overpass. We were very displeased with the V-10 version. Shopped around and found a 2009 Coachmen Concord with the 6.4 diesel and there is a thousand time difference in the performance and the fuel mileage is 1/3rd better. Not to mention the life of the engine. Can't imagine why they even put gas engines in a vehicle that large.
I'm far from being an expert on the V10, but I would guess your changing gears while going up an overpass, was probably due to your cruise control trying to keep the speed up while climbing the overpass, and not due to HP or torque issues. ;)
I know my 24' 1997 V10 would do that, although I haven't even paid any attention to that in my 31K, as I hardly ever use cruise control.
