In my opinion the floor plan is very important. Not just looks, but, layout! You're going to be living, eating, cooking etc. in very close quarters. My experience has been that the little annoyances become a real PITA after a while. I'm sure there are things that you wouldn't put up with at home.  Kinda like having the washing machine in the kitchen and the dryer in another room, it would wear on you after awhile and your dream home would lose some of its luster.  Same in a motorhome. There are always going to be little things over time, but, the immediate things get worse, at least to me. "I can live with that", becomes a major headache after a few trips or even days.
That said, a diesel is very nice to have, they drive better, ride better, quieter, engines last longer, better fuel mileage, the list goes on.
I was fortunate enough to get everything I wanted in a floor plan on a diesel chassis. But, I wouldn't have sacrificed the layout I wanted just to get a diesel.
Others will chime in and hopefully you'll get some help with your decision. It ain't easy!!
