Looking for input.....

I have towed 60000 with a 2000 v10 coach, including going cross country with my 24' pace behind it. The motor in that coach ran and still runs like a top , the new owner has had it 2 years and tows a similiar trailer. After owning it 3-4 years I put a complete banks kit on it and that made it nicer to drive and mainly it shifted less. The newer v10's have more power and don't need the kit unless you are driving 70+ all the time. I also towed 100000 +miles with a class c coach before the v10 unit. You can tow without a trailer toad but you need a good welder to make the hitch safe. Yes the key is rear overhang, I would not buy a class c with a lot of rear overhang. The trans is the weakest link, but if you change the fluid regularly it will last you a long time. The joy of a class c isthat when driving you are sitting in a van cab, that is more confortable to many, after owning 2 c's and 2 a's , the main things I like about the A's are, the view is nicer when you are driving the a and the chassis and brakes are heavier on the a's, In any coach I always want the longest wheelbase for the length of the coach you choose.

I put a 100000 on my 2000 v10 and 4r100 transmission ford motorhome with no problems.it gets 6 to 7 mpg pulling a 28 ft pace 10000lbs trailer with a 3350 lbs dodge demon + 1000 lbs of more crap. it works good for what it is.
