OK, newbie here and aspiring RV'er. What comments can be made about the advantages/disadvantages of a 350 HP internal combustion engine vs. a 350 HP diesel engine in a class A camper (assuming all other variables are equal)?

You are asking the wrong question.

All this flailing about HP and TQ proves nothing. The Motor Trend test prove that HP wins the quarter mile test. So unless you are bracket racing your MH, how does that relate to the MH experience?

The important questions are: Does it have a floor plan your wife likes? Does it have air leveling, Aqua-Hot or a tag axle. Are you using it for camping or full timing? What is your budget? Are you towing more than 5k?

When you've answered those questions you will find a motor that will be suitable for what you want to do already installed in the chassis.


IMHO
