Rgatijnet1, one thing that I want to point out is anytime there is a comparison of gas and diesel, which is not what the OP was asking, so I know I'm off topic.
There is no way you can put a gas engine in the size motorhome that usually has a diesel engine. Referring to what John S. wrote and your response, a gas pusher would get 4 mpg in the same size motorhome that John S. is getting probably 8 mpg.
As we all know, it's about weight when you start seeing diesel engine's installed. So, in your example, the cost difference of diesel is a wash-out when comparing the fuel mileage of a gasser.
A good example would be the sprinter diesel compared to a similar sized Ford V-10.... 18 mpg vs. 10 mpg.
