hot rod, we are neighbors. We are up in Middlefield.

sbphoto, power to weight is what you will want to keep in mind. We took that M2 conversion with 300 hp out west and with the heat and the engine requiring the power robbing engine cooling fan it was a slow go up any grades more than 3%. Without the fan running and with a decent run it did ok on those hills but still lost speed. In comparison we just came back from another trip out west in our Class C which is 14,500 with a gas V10 and towing 4400 lbs and it did surprisingly well. It has all of the suspension upgrades and handles great until you hit those cross winds like you mentioned which is almost always specially out west and you just don't get that long haul comfort like you do in a Class 8 truck. Oh and a nice big bathroom.

Are you monitoring racing junk? There are some insane deals going on over there. Toterhomes/RVs/Motorhomes For Sale
