I heard the rule 10 horsepower for everyfoot on your coach

The rule I heard was if you had 1 horsepower for every 100 lbs. the loaded ready to travel coach weighted, you were good.

By the rule you heard, they would be many, many, many MH's that wouldn't pass that test.

Our ISL 40' coach (35,000 with toad) is very strong and has no problem with any hill. A friend has the same engine in a 43' tag and it also does well. I think you will be very pleased with it. Now if it would also get 20 mpg....
