I have a 2006 Travel Supreme, 40', 400hp cummins, 6 speed auto, +/- 40k miles, lots of everything.  $342,000 new, I'll take $175,000.00

Hey Curt.

Been thinking about something like that for my deal...

How much does your trailer weigh?

How does the 400hp pull with that?

We have hills here:affraid:

It pulls it very good. I have some guys that I travel with and I run in the back because if I didn't I would always be leaving them behind. One of them has a Volvo conversion. We typically tow about 65mph and it's about 7.2 mpg there. I have towed it all over the Southeast and there are some hills that will slow it down, but not more than you would expect. I can outrun just about any truck on the interstate up and down hills. My trailer loaded with the dragster, 4 wheeler, and the necessary stuff to race for 4-5 days is about 9,000lbs.  I tow an 8,000lb Excursion when I'm not racing. About the only time it isn't towing is when its being serviced.

Check this one out. I am selling it for my mother in law. Ready to go. Just put it in my shop for winter but would really rather have it gone. In Western New York. 30 minutes from peace bridge

Do some looking on the internet, I have seen several diesel pusher's with low (50-70000) mileage in the 20-30k range. I also saw an older 26ft diesel pusher go for 13k. Most in this price range don't have the slide outs but a few do.

Make certain you stay away from the 5.9 diesels. They may be good for pickups, but they are "all in" when you stick them in a MH.
