The Revcon weighs 7800 lb- less than the GMC becasue it's a foot shorter, has two less wheels a bit less cabinet material and glass inside.
I am fairly certain I have 3.8 gears. That is based on 3000 RPM at 60MPH according to a GPS. I'm confident of the speed (GPS) but not the tach. Still, it 'feels' like the revs are pretty high.
I know people pull some enormous loads with their GMC's
Based on those numbers, assume I would only add 800 lb or so to the coach weight and that I am a long way from any real mountains, what would be a reasonable towing capacity that would not really strain the drive train and destroy MPG?
This pertains to whether or not the next vehicle in the family will double as a toad.
thanks
