Hello all, I,ve been in the market for a diesel powered RV for a while and found a 1993 Kodiak Journey it has 160K miles and has a 250HP CAT 3116 6.6L 6 spd allison. The RV will be used for towing a 28'tripple axle car trailer close to 10000k lbs. My questions are can this unit handle this load are ther any problem area's to look at, and what fuel mileage can I expect. Thanks Robbie

The only place I've ever seen units of that nature is at race tracks. I think they were "born" to tow and if you check the GCWR I think you will find it can handle 10k lbs (at least I'd be surprised if it couldn't). I think the GVWR of such units is not that high though - 19k lbs. Only thing one can say is check the specs carefully.

Thanks for the reply, yea it has a 3116 250hp Cat and 6spd Allison trans so I'm pretty sure it will tow good. I'm going to use it to tow a 28'tripple axle car trailer loaded with race car a golf cart and tools about 10K lbs . I tow it with a 99 ford crew cab dually that tows great it gets around 9 mpg at 70 mph just looking for a little more comfort at the track. What fuel mileage do you think the Kodiak will get towing. Are the c class Rvs with diesel's in them any more noisy in the cab then a 7.3 Ford? Thanks Robbie
