Very nice. 14L Detroit right? Should be a nice rig with that kind of power. I wish at times I had a little more power from our 425 HP 12.7L DD.

Yeah, we run in the mountains all the time, almost every where we go is up and down. The 75-80 MPH toy hauler boys fly by us on the flats then we kill them in the hills. :D We went to Tulsa,...

Yep, we're 1450 RPM at 66-MPH and I wish we had a taller gear. I don't really run any faster than this unless I have to due to the RPM's.

Phil,

As a reference, we paid $42K for our 1996, 9-year old build coach. This is a one off coach built by the guy we bought it from. He built it for himself and his wife and used it for 7-years...
