Moderator's note: this is a split-off topic from the Winnebago 2010 models thread...
I'm not really buying...I was just envious of the floor plan. When I do buy, the ISB would be fine with me...torque is overrated unless you are drag racing or need fast acceleration under heavy loads. Brake horse power at the wheel is what climbs hills and moves the air, and 340 is plenty for a 28,000 GVWR vehicle IMO.
Pusher said:My Meridian has the this same motor. Pulls my Honda Plilot with a tandem axled/two ATV laden trailer (Triple) up and down the Rockies at 45mph. All while getting 8mph. Not much of a motor?? If I just pull the Honda, say to MX and back, I get 10 mpg. ???
