My wife is looking at a Class-B RV with a V-10 engine and Ford E-350 chasis. Any pros and con would be apreciated.

My buddy runs a v-10 and it seems to have tons of power. Sure likes the gas station :twocents:

glug glug glug glug....
My uncle owns one...6mpg(con)

:yeah:
My Stepdad had a V-10 F-350. It had great power but sucked gas like Elton John on a hot dog.

Same sentiment here....GASHOG.....I would pay a little more and get a diesel...more milage and longer life. :twocents:

I have a 2004 class C on an E-450 chassis with the 6.8l v-10. It pulls ok and I was getting about 9 mph on my last trip up to Liberty, tanks full and I was pulling my Jeep. That kind of milage aint bad with that much weight. Those modular engines hold up pretty good for gassers but I do wish my motorhome was a diesel.

My buddy has one. It's newer than 2004, but the same engine. It makes good power and pulls a lot. Towing and hauling aren't about gas mileage- it's all about horsepower and torque. When you add up the significant extra cost for the diesel engine and higher cost of fuel, it can take a long time for the diesel to pay for itself. If you're only making a few trips a year, the gas is a good choice.
