Which is better a cat 350 or a Cummins 360?
Currently have a National RV Tropi-Cal 370 with a C-7 Cat 350 Turbo. I’m looking at a Tiffin Phaeton 42 with a Cummins 360 HP. My question is, does the Cummins have more torque? My Tropi-Cal bogs down to a crawl & over heats when pulling up a mountain towning a car hauler trailer with car.
What’s the difference between a cat 330 and 350 hp engine?
If you look closely at the horsepower graphs you’ll see that the only time you see those extra 20 ponies is way at the top of the RPM band so the only time you’ll notice the differnce is when the engine is revved up to climb a steep grade. 98% of the time they’ll be identical in power output.
How many pounds does a typical motorhome weigh?
Motorhomes weigh anywhere from 10,000-40,000 pounds. This is because of all of the many heavy parts that go into making these vehicles so they can run and drive etc. This heavy weight has to be pulled by the engine to get the car to drive forward.
Which is better 300 hp or 350 hp?
My Expedition has the 300 HP motor and the two together ride very well thru all kinds of terrain and even some snow this winter. Had a WH with the 8.1 motor and it seemed to always be working harder. The old rig (Tiffin Allegro Bay)on the 22K chassis and the new rig both get about the same fuel mileage.
