Yes, what engine - I'm real curious about the new Ford diesels, but they're so new out on the road that user reports are scarce. Nice looking rig - and LOTS if interior space vs length - more pictures by all means!

When I looked at the Itasca website, they only had the specifications for the 2009 and 2010 Cambria motorhomes. For the 2010 model year, there was no diesel available. For the 2011's, only Warpath has the answer (at least, for his rig) to the question that inquiring minds want to know.

I don't know whether Itasca just put it out there or I missed it, but I found a 2011 "sneak peek" for the Cambria. Here's the link.

Itasca Motor Homes - 2011 Cambria

It appears that the only choice is the V-10.

Sorry guys, not sure why my Warpath login will not send me notifications.

Anyway, yes it has V10 and as Mike pointed out to me they detune it to 305??hp over his same V10 with 365?? in his F350. Not sure they would ever put the Diesel in special due to weight concerns. But even so it seems to do pretty well. We have put about 450 miles on it over the past few weekends on various hilly roads and highways and I love how it drives, corners and the power. Definitely better than the last Showhauler with the Mercedes motor.

I will snap some interior shots tomorrow, love the layout and how cozy it feels. We had 9 of us inside one evening and I was pretty impressed how everyone could move around without bumping into each other.

Thanks Jim for the info on the riding spot, I will have to check that out. I haven't been riding as much since I have gone insane (doing insanity workout) but after doing a ride a few weekend ago I have the itch again.

George it seems to have the same construction as the vectra, the quality and fit/finish feels about the same as well and one of the reasons I picked this model.

Finally snapped some shots of the inside and they came out like crap. Usually my droid takes some really great shots, but maybe the lack of light was the issue.

Pictures are fine. Great looking rig. Are you able to get out of the bed between the bed and rear wall? Looks a little tight...

Warpath · 11-10-2010, 08:55 AM

There is enough room for me to squeeze between the bed and the wall, but Michelle has a much easier time on that side than me. So that is her side of the bed

Since the weather forecast is looking good, we are going to camp Saturday night at Evergreen. Got to get one overnight in it before we shut it down for the winter.

John H... · 11-10-2010, 09:02 AM

OK, Thanks. That would be my side of the bed, but If I could get a Cambria, I could put up with it. The rest of the rig makes up for that.

Wish I could join 'ya. Instead, our TT is going to the mine Saturday for it's winter "vacation". Sorry, I won't be there with the Cheetos. Have a great time.

The pics turned out great, Bill. It sure looks roomy & bright. I like the decor, not to modern, just tastefully chic.

I think this weekend is the last hurrah for our Indian Summer. Enjoy it. The snow will be flying soon enough.

Would like to get out this coming weekend too, but Diane has an event she has to go to....

darn.....

Your new coach looks very roomy when opened up. I checked it out on their website....very nice....Bill your too young to down size.....Your breaking the rules.....

Now you can fit into many more sites....and locations....

rebelsbeach · 11-13-2010, 10:59 PM

Super nice rig, but will it pull my old stacker trailer?

On a serious note, would you flat tow something Bill?

That's a neat idea and congrats on the new rig.

goreds2 · 11-14-2010, 08:18 AM

Great looking rig. I love the garage also! Enjoy,

Warpath · 11-15-2010, 07:01 AM

Hey Bobby!

Yeah we will flat tow the Liberty, have to get my SMI braking system changed out first. Love how it drives, I would say the only chassis mod I will do is a trac bar. On it's own it does great, notice a bit of wag when trucks come blowing by on the highway at speeds of 65 + I think with the car in tow I will notice this more and since I have all winter, I would like to have this done.
