 :)David,

This probably not the best forum to ask your question.  Beaver owners would not have the new Cummins.  You may want to try IRV2.COM

David,
The 650 HP Cummins ISX engine was used in a hand full of the 2009 model Marquis coaches. However most of the 2009 Marquis coaches were equipped with the C 15 Caterpillar engine that is rated at 600 or 625 HP.

yes, but Monaco put them in executive coach??  Even the Cat at 625 should be comparible.  Just trying to get some idea?

Thanks

David,

You're not considering changing out the Contessa, are you?  There may be times when the extra HP would be good, but not often.  I get 7.5 - 8 mpg towing a 5,000 vehicle at 65-75 mph.
