RV EXPERIENCE WITH 6.5l safari Trek 26'

[dene57k]

Any one out there have any experience or knowledge on the functionality of the 6.5 application in the Motor Home. The TRek is a real square unit, and a perfect wind block. but has some interior unique size applications if the engine is not overworked. The GVWR is 14800, and the GCWR is 19000 on 26' of coach.

What say you...much appreciate for any ASAP insights..cheers..

Since no one else has replyed,

I do not have a motor home.....But

I do have a truck camper, Weight, 3k~
Total Weight of truck and camper 10200-10400
Truck camper has significant drag

MO The 6.5l is a little low on power ,
Mine Will unlock the TCC and/or down shift on a
moderate grade, The steeper Grades require
a down shift to 2nd, ( I26 , I77 in NC are a 45MPH Climb )

I have made some modes which help, But it still is no
powerhouse...

I would guess the TREK would not perform much better than my Truck/TC combo.

I would suggest reading all the 6.5L posts regarding
Overheat, Cracked blocks, blown head gaskets,etc.
