Class C Motor Home V10

Any of you guys tow a trailer with a Class C with a V10? I know they suck gas but how are they power wise going down the Highway or power pulling hills. I tow about 9000 pds now with my 2012 F350 and you don't even know its back there. So I will be towing my 9000 car and trailer.
Appreciate any input. Thanks Tore

I have a older v 10. 1999 model pickup I occasionally still use it to pull mnt 28 foot box it is about 10500 with car in it. It will pull it but it struggles.

Tore,Dan's BIG motorhome has that v10 power plant. It does very well. Talk to him.

I pull a 30 ft trailer with my 2000 F250 with zero problems. I get 9.3 mpg and no power issues. Sorry I know this is about the RV capacity.

What I might do is bring the car and trailer over to the place and hook on and see how it does.
Tks for the replies.

I pull my 24' with a 2003 DynaMax CarriGo 23footer, V-10. Absolutely love it. It's got 68k miles - and the air cond. works. WAAY better trip to the Bash this year, and I don't think the mileage was any worse than the old barge with the 460.

Will be keeping an eye on this thread as well. I would like to get a motorhome myself at some point. It would be nice to be able to go down to the track the night before a weekend event, and it would surely beat spending the night in a hotel.

I pulled my 26' vintage enclosed (8500 lbs loaded )for 25 years with this

460 with a C6 , the mountains to race at Mission BC were exciting !! we were 21000 lbs rolling down the road . Nothing better than having a nice for a snooze or a hot shower on a weekend of racing and a place to sleep after having beers with the bud's and not have to worry about getting a DUI on the way to the motel!

Slick ole rig you got there Frank... the ole retro motor homes and trailers are starting to be a big deal... guess the old cars and boats have played out.

after 25 years I up graded to these  

to be towed by this

400hp 8.3l cummins with a 6 speed allison

Good bit of power difference between the two valve V10 and the three valve version.

Here is some good reading on hp difference.
