I considered it but for the 3 years of living with factory tune, I have no real complaints. Maybe I could pickup a little performance/MPG under a given set of cicumstances but given the wide range of loading, why bother.
I do not see any significant return on investment or any correction of something that bothers me. I hear people complain/express concern about high RPM operation. Is nothing compared to my stock block chevy small block going downtrack over 7,200 rpm.
Just do not see enough of a benefit to it. If my loading was identical, maybe. Since it is not, not worth considering for me anyway.

Absolutely correct that I can't speak to every RV, combined weight or environment performance which is precisely why Ford left so much potential untapped, and also a primary reason 5-Star only optimized for 87 octane fuel and not premium...
I suspect 5-Star could provide specific feedback to anyone cared to inquire about their specific RV and usage.
If you're happy with yours the way it is, congratulations!
