heres some more.... the reason we sold the 33d was we bought a vacation house at lake havasu... and the pusher was just too big for me launhing the boat.... I had a e350 van that I converted to a camper and was able to sell that also and just have the 26'r to comute and tow the boat.....
all in all the 33d was a very nice coach for the price...just tooo big.....
the argument that it was faster and towed more faster was false... as I proved in my video's.... the excursion was slower up the hills , slower to take off and took longer to stop....again,...not a race car but facts are facts
towing the exact same trailer it was 20 mph slower up the hills...but did it with out effort and had the feel that it would last a long long time doing it...
the v10 was a screamer as some put it, but it did it faster..
I spent most of my life racing 1/4 mile so maybe getting up the hill first is in my blood...
for me,... I think they should crank the power up more on the diesels..... yah...they have the torque... and pound for pound, will out power the gas models,....but they loose most of it because the coach is sooo heavy,,,
when you compare weight on the scale...22k vs 34k no comparison....
but when you compare towing weight and hill speed the 26'r gas wins
if they would offer some thing else better besides the v10 in the 26'r I
would buy one today
they day they put a 340hp cummins in a fed that's 26' or under I will own one
but just to help you out....don't ever bet your lunch money against my little gaser...
... it will out perfor any DP out there.....that's why I have it
