hi guys -

we have been looking at what is available in the truck conversion market and it seems like the freightliner M2's and Columbia's are a popular base platform to start with.

we will only be towing a car or truck, but no trailer and don't want to be stuck in the right hand lane going up steep grades and be at the upper weight limit with a full fuel and water load as well as everything plus the kitchen sink inside the motorhome.

it seems that a lot of diesel pushers have an engine in the 300 hp range (like the M2) and you will see them struggling at times.

are well comparing apples to apples in those situations?

is an M2 towing a car/truck going to keep up with a columbia hauling a race trailer

how much different will the fuel mileage be? (300 hp vs 450 hp)

thanks in advance to all of your input.
