> I read one time that a Diesel powered coach would be normally powered by: Each
100 lbs of coachweight by one horsepower. If your coach weighs 48000 lbs, you
should have minimum 480 hp engine. In other words, ideally speaking, you should
have a 500 hp Diesel. That will make the BB go. BUT, only recently in the last
couple years have they powered busses and trucks with that 100 lbs ratio to 1
hp.
