Diesel Pusher losing power

Just curious as to other have had similar experience.

Have a 2006 Tiffin Phaeton, currently on a road trip in WY and motorhome seems to loose power on even small inclines. Had the air filter changed in Odessa Mo. which seemed to correct the problem for a while. Currently we go from the ability to travel at highway speeds to literally having to climb the entrance to the rv park we are staying at for a couple of days at 5 mph because the unit wouldn't go any faster.

Am trying to find a diesel shop in Cody, WY to check the coach out but just wondered if other members have experienced anything similar.

Appreciate any feedback.

This is just a guess, but sounds like it has gone into "Limp Mode" which many things can be the problem.

When you lose power is the exhaust blowing black smoke? If so it could be the turbo going bad.
