I think (IMO) when folks say the V10 "likes to Rev" they dont mean 6000 RPM's. I take it to mean around 4500 rpms (but that just me). After all its a motor home not a Corvette. But I can see saying "LIKES TO REV" that is confusing so someone not use to a big truck engine or new to the Motorhome world.

I reality some are saying (IMO) that 4500 to 4800 RPM's "once in a while" wont blow up your engine. But im not going to test my RV trying it.

I try to keep it below 4200 RPM max if I can. I dont like the hear the engine race.... I think of the MPG and engine wear/damage that can occur. Might be in my head... but its my head....LOL.

Sometimes It will down shift when you dont expect it to so I let off the throttle right away do keep it around 3800 to 4200 max.

Just like when folks say their RV is "FAST or quick"... Its faster or Quicker than any other RV they drove (or Uhaul etc). Or Faster/Quicker than they "expected". Not that RV's are "Fast".
