Re: Motorhome Gas vs Deisel
Had great luck with the 8.1. Had a Holiday Rambler with 8.1/Alison/22.5 tires. Good working motorhome that towed my 26 foot motorsport easily. Being Canadian....I put some miles on. I wouldnt hesitate to have another one.

Re: Motorhome Gas vs Deisel
My 26 ft class a with v10 ford gets 8.5 to 9mpg pulling my 24 ft trailer. My F150 gets 10mpg.Power wise of course pickup is better.The MH is adequate.

Re: Motorhome Gas vs Deisel
The 8.1L engine with the Allison transmission can be a workhorse.
There are a few aftermarket improvements such as better spark plug wires; the OEM wires are terrible. I believe that Ed at Fast Chips used to have a tune for the8.1L. You can get tunes for the8.1L from the following: https://www.ultrarvproducts.com/Ultr...-Custom-Tuning https://www.raylarengineering.com/computer-tuning.html |

Re: Motorhome Gas vs Deisel
Getting fuel with a gas MH is difficult when towing a trailer.
