Super C popularity has grown due to commercial truck drivetrains (Freightliner, Ford), diesel reliability, and better towing capacity. Class A offers more interior space per dollar. Choose Super C for drivetrain and driving experience, Class A for living space and value.
Pedal Monster modifies throttle sensitivity, not actual power output. Results on F53 motorhomes are often subtle because the heavy vehicle limits acceleration regardless of throttle response. If you do not notice improvement, return it - it does not add horsepower.
V10 surging with air/fuel codes often has cheap fix - vacuum leak, intake gasket, or exhaust leak. Do smoke test or spray test before replacing more expensive parts.

Cummins in RVs are diesel engines or Onan generators. Gas chassis use Ford or GM. Cummins diesel and Onan generators need regular maintenance.
