BIG Class A vs Super C

Pennywise said:
That's super nice but I don't get the lack of seating. My class A sleeps 2 can has seating for 6 plus the dinette. This thing sleep 6+ and has seating for 3, I don't get it.

Hookers go home in the morning?

Yeah, crazy that it sleeps more then it seats.
 
My 47'' Foot Toy Hauler sleeps 2 Adults 1 Child and 1 dog Max,
The Super C we got, we pulled out the bunks to put in a second Closet, and it now sleeps 3 max,

That's pretty sweet! But you have to really want/need 4x4 as you are giving up quite a bit to get it. 20% less fuel is a big difference on range. I have the m2-106 and I just did the 3.5" fuel fill extensions so you can get the extra 7-8 gallons in there. It's going to feel top-heavy and I wonder how much head room you lose inside the coach due to the added chassis height? Also don't love the idea of the trans shifting to neutral on its own but that's not related to just the 4x4 I'm sure.
Showhauler builds some of the best coaches out there so I'm sure they will do a great job with it.

Too bad it's not a 112, so you could get the 450 horse L9 or the 525 Detroit and DT12 trans.

Totally agree. I don’t know why more don’t build on the 112. I think Dynamax and Newmar are the only ones. I’m about to order a PDI Tuner for my L9 which will boost it to 425 hp (360 now). It does pretty good now even with the trailer but I would like a little more for the long, steep grades.

With the low hood and smaller cooling system, how do they keep temps in check when they turn up the wick?
 
That makes me laugh when people talking about 400hp - 450hp on the cummings, they are the same torque number, the 450 is a little faster out of the hole, or maybe will keep a higher torque in hotter weather due to the bigger intercooler, and some L9 are 380hp with 1250 torque,
and if you want a 400hp to out run the 450 light to light, just upgrade the exhaust manifold,

The sport coaches have real torque numbers
a Real 450 hp is the Mercedes by Detroit that little 450hp in the Freightliner 1550 torque, but it comes at a cost,

At the end of the day, what are you towing, the L9 fuel mileage compared to the Mercedes 13liter i bet the 13L get thirsty,

The Cummins 6.7 in some of the new super C's are getting 10 miles to the gallon,

My Ford with a 21,000K trailer is getting around 4 miles to the gallon at the same weight,

I think my back and bladder can only go around 50-60 gallons before i have to stop,

I’ve discussed with a number of folks running the tuner and none have had any cooling issues. Certainly something to watch though as that’s why Cummins won’t turn them up. The smaller cooling system in the m2-106 is the limiting factor. With my current stock configuration the thing never gets hot though. Even pulling long grades I don’t recall ever seeing a temp even hit 190.
