I have two questions. First, does anyone know the dimensions of the 35' RTS II (say a 1982 model)? I assume the width is 96 inches, but I'm looking for the head room and seating capacity. Second question is regarding a series 50 Detroit. Is this a good engine. I've only previously heard of the 6 and 8V's and the series 60.
The width on a lot of the RTS's was 102", and I believe the ceiling was 6'3".
As to the series 50, it is a lighter engine than the 60, as it is a 4 cylinder model of the 12.7L series 60.
It uses many of the same parts as the 60 series, but being a 4 cylinder, in my opinion, is not the way to go. This engine was built in both the 1800RPM and 2100RPM model, both of which did very well on economy.
