I'll add my 2 cents to that. Our 6.0 chevy gas engine will run about 2300 to 2400 RPM at 65 mph and will climb a mild hill without down shifting.
If the going gets a little tougher and it downshifts...

I thought I was going to report a Hi-Lo sighting today driving north through Ft. Worth Texas. However when I passed this unit it turned out to be a Trailmanor.

It could be if you cannot raise your roof high enough to release the safety bar the cables just need to be adjusted. If that's the case it would be a simple fix that would take an hour or so. The...

I can't speak about tip out motors because our 03 classic has a manual tip out. However, if the roof is not lifted high enough you will not be able to lift the tip out to the "set up" position.
