You can get the M2 with a 330/960 Mercedes. Which I mentioned would be O.K. for motorhome use on a rig right at or under 30,000 lbs.The VT365 maybe able to be bumped to 300 hp with 620 torque and that 2500 trannie keeps the torque down there. Another big horsepower/torque limiter is the size of the radiator.

The rig looks well equipped, but if your looking to tow with it your sure to be close to 30,0000 combined and that motor is going to be the major weak link in the equation.

Like Camping Dutchman said you can never have to many ponies under the hood.
