Same horsepower, 300 hp, as my Caterpillar 7.2L, but much less torque - yours is 620 ft-lbs. mine is 860 ft-lbs. Allison automatic 6 speed, which is very good for economy - don't go over 65 and you'll get great mileage. Towing capacity is limited to 5,000 lbs, whereas mine is 10,000 lbs. - this is where the torque difference comes in. So, if you are not towing a full-size pickup truck or full-size SUV, you will be fine as most cars, crossovers and Jeeps fall into the 5000 lbs or less. Otherwise, it seems like a great MH at 33 ft., it will be very maneuverable and easy to park in most RV parks. Good luck and let us know if get the MH.
The one we looked at we didn't like. It didn't look like it was taken care of properly. That model isn't off our list so we're still looking.

Thanks for your reply,
Pat
