Increase horsepower

[Candyman]

We just bought a 2008 supernova and a 25 ft matching trailer. We noticed that pulling up a hill or incline if we had to brake or let off gas it was almost impossible to get speed again until going down hill or flat ground. This RV only has 10,000 miles on it. So my question is what can I do to add power? Programmers ? Or other options ? Any I would help

That's a nice supernova! My advice is to avoid hills whenever possible. Or reduce weight.

I don't think the op can avoid hills as his problem is related to hills and inclines. But reducing weight can be the solution.

Nice looking set up!

Rule of thumb is 1 HP per 100 pounds(including the trailer). Do the math. Did someone make a mistake and didn't follow the 1HP per 100 pound rule?
