Not many people seem to know it, but the recent advances in turbocharged technology are ideally suited to motorhomes. And with guaranteed power gains- especially at altitude- it’s got to be worth it, as long as it’s properly installed.
To many people the motorhome is the perfect recreational vehicle. It offers all the comforts of a caravan but none of the towing problems. Such an opinion is well founded, and the added bonus of ‘homes being able to (mostly) hold realistic highway speeds means the impression of them as the ultimate go-anywhere holiday vehicle is a difficult one to shake.
Until, that is, you’re travelling at a snail’s pace up a hill with the diesel engine straining and clouds of black smoke bellowing out of your exhaust and into the path of the queue of cars banked up behind. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be like that, and it’s all thanks to that essentially simple but wonderfully effective piece of technology known as a turbocharger.
