I would definitely watch more of these! Class A, Class B, and Class C comparisons. Ike Gauntlets, Fuel loops, and Performance comparisons. Towing tests would also be appreciated!!! The real world testing you guys do would be awesome: dry camping tests of batteries and tank capacities would be great to see. Dry camping does involve some off road so you guys would be all set to try some of that as well. Thanks very much for what you guys do. Love the channel and variety!!!

Especially a motorhome! I modify everything from Corvettes and tire-shredding Duramax diesels to sportbikes and even a bicycle that I installed a weed-wacker engine on that could do 48mph! My motorhome is a Chevy Vortec 454 V8- and while not car-fast, would destroy this V10 motorhome in a drag race, uphill, and in MPG with my modifications. I havent even tuned it yet, there is lots more that I still have planned for it. You can't have too much power in these buildings on wheels! As evidenced by this video, motorhomes lose over 100HP from the crank to the wheels from a restrictive intake and exhaust, etc. Then losing even more power to turn a huge driveshaft, differential and axle, and extremely heavy dually wheels. My 'Big Bertha' is 21 years old and worked hard weekly, still running perfect with the mods too. I wouldnt drive a motorhome without modifications!

I follow a few RV channels on KZbin, and none of them do any testing like this. I really think you have found something here. It is one thing to know what features and equipment is in an RV, but how does it perform? No one that I know of is doing that. I think the Ike Gauntlet test is the perfect test to help buyers select the RV that suits their needs. I vote for TFLRV. Keep up the great videos.

I agree doing a RVing / towing side show on the TFLT channel. I'm RV trailer owner. Two points on towing, Mph really effects MPG's and at what sweet spot does the tranny stay in over-drive while towing. That is why the eco-boost gets poor gas mileage with towing a heavy load because it has to stay at a higher rpm.

I’ve got a 2014 Tiffin Allegro and the main reason people get the tune is drivability. In stock form the transmission is wonky with shifts that don’t always make sense. For this reason I usually drive mine in tow/haul mode which helps a lot. The 5-Star Tune completely fixes the issue. I give it 5 stars.
@jnk26
@jnk26 3 жыл бұрын
The tow/haul locks the torque in every gear except first. By doing this it lowers the fluid temperatures by not using the fluid coupling of the torque converter. The reason the hp and torque numbers are so low, is the testing they show you is in Colorado. The mass of the drive line really saps the "power" not to mention the commercial tires(height) causes loses to the dyno. 31" tire vs 35"tire will show very different results on the same vehicle and day

@@bmcdonald7303 You can still get the Banks kits for the 460. The headers are great, and stock 460 exhaust manifolds often get leaks in them and can crack pretty easily. The stainless headers and exhaust are a huge improvement over factory exhaust, if not for power, than for overall reliability. You don't have to get the transmission electronics from Banks when you get the 460 kit, however, you get better shift performance from the Banks transmission electronics. They claim that their shift timing and the increased fluid pressures that the transmission runs during certain engine output conditions helps to reduce wear in the transmission by changing the shift points and increasing the positivity of clutch pack actions during shifts.

You may want to get a tuner, too.......not for increased power, but to avoid MANY check engine lights.....computer needs to know about the increased airflow . Otherwise, too many false alerts regarding airflow sensor failure. (Cost me a bundle before I figured that out). Better than cheating by using a cheap OBD reading to just cancel the false alert.

I don’t have a motorhome yet but hope to in a year. I’ve been thinking of a shot of nitrous for hills and passing. Cheapest and easiest means of boosting power. Nitrous isn’t a “fuel”, by the way. It’s an oxidizer. Using a “wet” nitrous system includes an additional shot of gasoline along with the extra oxygen. The nozzles are on a plate that is inserted under the carb or behind the throttle body in EFI. A simple nitrous metering nozzle change gives you the added power for your needs in measured steps. Much simpler than a turbo or a Procharger.

Watched this video. Bought the tuner for my 2019 Tiffin V10 gas, which struggled to maintain 70MPH on the highway and wanted to run at 67-68. After installation today, the RV runs comfortably at 73-75 MPH with the lightest press of the gas pedal. This tuner is fabulous. Acceleration off the line is so much improved. I disliked the V10 enough that I considered trading my 2019 for the new 2021 Tiffin (same model, 38 foot or the 36UA model), for the new 7.3L Ford V8. Dealer wants my coach plus $55,000.00 just to gain 30HP on the new V8. Well, I am so glad I tried the 5-Star tuner, as it made this RV more of a driver's machine. I won't be opting for the new 7.3L V8....this upgrade on the 6.8L V10 is good enough to be happy. BTW, this review is dead-on accurate and factual. It's exactly what you will obtain for the price of this tuner. Highly recommend.

In case anyone is wondering what a stock one is like. My v10 class c E450 32ft gets about 6.5 mpg with my lead foot. No more than 7 anytime. It’s loud because it’s right next to you. They rev high a lot. On a flat highway it’ll do 75-80 but you should probably keep it lower than 70. Have done the same mountain as I’m in CO. When to the floor your going about 45 max. Then some ass in a piece of crap will get in front of you and you loose all momentum and you can’t pass because you can’t! I do like the Torqshift transmission though, especially on downhill. In tow/haul it senses that your going down and will downshift automatically to keep your speed down. I’m sure the 7.3 gas will be a little better for power but not much.

I have 5 star tune on my vehicle and love it. It has made my truck more reliable, better performing, improved mileage, and much more comfortable to drive. I would never hesitate to recommend 5 star for anything.

I'd love to know if over a long trip if there is a tangible increase in MPG, I'm getting it simply for the better acceleration down low, 100 lbft improvement at 2100 rpm is significant, thanks for the video on this guys, bring us more like perhaps with a CAI even though I don't see that improving things much.

As those wonder if the hit of the test of a class A RV built on a F53 chassis with the triton V10 as the test unit was provided by the coach builder on the F53 chassis when the coach builder was using Silverado headlights and taillights. As those were onto something when they believe the hit of TFLRV was with help from five star tuning was to wake up the performance of the V10 and torq-shift when the company was to have files going as far back as 1997 when the triton family of engines first came out.

problem is all that comparison testing was done at the top of the power band where that tune doesnt do any good. That v10 runs like a dog at full throttle, it loves to be in the 2000-4000 range. used the same tuner on my f350 with v10. It hates full rpm towing. loves the 3000 rpm mark.

It's a truck engine designed for longevity. As long as it can move that weight at a decent clip, it's a great engine choice (for a gasser).

It’s has 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado headlights and taillights. When ever I see RVs a lot of them have headlights and tail lights form cars, is it cheaper to use lights form other cars instead of making their own?

I think a more moderate road trip would really go a long way. No pun intended. This test was somewhat extreme for showing the tune improvements. Let's try a 30 mile loop over moderate interstate or highway!

Yeah. Tuning rvs can be really helpful. There’s also a few companies out there, more notably one called Ujoint Offroad, that does 4x4 conversions on class Cs. Would be cool to see some in action on your TFLoffroad channel! As far as these v10s go, there’s a word of note! I’m going to be vague due to lack of certain numbers, but here goes: the older v10s were a 2 valve. The newer ones are a 3 valve, with like, 50 more hp??? The class Cs “never” got the 3 valve? And other than the 31ft class Cs, the 29s and under have a 4 speed, not a 5 speed (ugh. Fml). I plan on looking into the Banks Power kit for my 29ft v10. I wonder how it’ll compare with new headers and exhaust, as well as a tune? Would be great for you guys to look into some of this!

Class C E series only came with 2v engines 4.6 ,5.4 and 6.8. After 2014 the passenger and cargo vans E series were dropped. The E series cut away chassis is still available with the 6.2 and 7.3 . Diesels were dropped before 2010 in the E series.
