I made an appointment with the dealer this morning to drive the '02 Mountain Aire-gasser. We really liked the coach and were ready to drive it home. But, I was very disappointed in the way it ran. I thought it was very underpowered. Acceleration was very poor. Ok in first and second from a stop but after that is was very, very slow picking up speed. And I am at 700' above sea level. I can't imagine what it would be like in the Rockies at altitude. Maybe I was expecting to much. I think it would be a struggle on flat land to pull a small car much less to pull one in the mountains. It may very well be that this one had some problems. I know the power steering pump made a lot of noise when you turned the wheel. I really hated to tell the guy that I was going to pass it up because we really liked the coach. So, I guess the search will begin again.
