Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel has a problem with hills, pulling a Camaro in a
FeatherLite 25 footer with lots of parts and other gear.  Maybe 50 mph up a
medium Southern Interstate grade.  Chevy 454 did great on the hills, but 6
mpg was the norm.  Heard good things about the Ford F-350 diesel.  Are they
true?  Looking for a '53 foot (two Camaro) rig with lounge.

What's the wisdom of the list -- will a full size Chevy van with a 350
comfortably pull an enclosed trailer?

TR6 -- 29 and still running
TR4 -- 39 but no longer racing
uncle jack -- temporarily sidelined
