I am looking at a 1985 24' Minni with a 350 Chevy carburated in a class C. Is this motor strong enough to really pull this motor home? I would also like to put a small trailer on it and pull my Goldwing which weighs 950lbs plus the trailer.
Any thoughts/ suggestions on this?
ANSWER: Hi Bob thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
Yes, the engine is powerful enough to power the size RV your are looking at and as long as the RV is properly setup for towing you should not have any problems towing your bike on it's trailer.
One reality that you are going to have to face is that this RV is not going to be setting any land speed records; nor is it going to be passing a lot of other vehicles when climbing a hill. A larger engine might improve the hill-climbing a tad, but not by that much.
Since you are dealing with an RV that is over 20 years old I have a question for you; Have you performed a complete used RV inspection on this RV? If your answer to this question is "INSPECTION!!!!! WHAT INSPECTION?" then you are not quite ready to buy this motorhome yet. Yes, the last step in buying a used RV is to inspect it inside and out to make sure it is in good shape before you sign on the dotted line.
