Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum but figured I could get some knowledgeable information about the best Class c for towing. We have had a pop up, travel trailer and now a class c. We currently have a 1997 32' Fleetwood Tioga, that does good towing on flat ground. We tow a 2000 4 runner, with a blue ox tow bar and most of the time don't know it's there. Problem is when we get into eastern Wyoming, where we go most of the time, those long rolling hills have us dropping into 2nd gear and maybe going 35-40 mph up the hill. We were thinking to upgrade to another Class C with a slide but are wondering if that will help with the hills any? Spouse is not comfortable driving a Class A so that's not an option. Thought about a diesel but those are hard to find without spending a lot of money. We were thinking in the 2005-2008 years for another rv since we don't use it alot. Appreciate all info!
 
35-40 isn't really all that bad. If it's in good running order and condition otherwise, consider the devil I know. You're going to spend more time stopped than underway anyhow.
 
agree, I have a class A diesel pusher and many times on I-80 in Wy and I-90 in Mt, 45 is my foot on the pedal, so you are not out of line
 
Not in the mountains when you get slowed behind traffic
