We have a gas motorhome with the V-10 and also have a quality unit. You don't have to go to a diesel for quality. The quality of the unit and the layout that you want is more important, as well as how you will use it. We travel between north and south and sit at each place for 4-6 months, so a diesel would not be a justified expense for us. We also would not buy a new motorhome. To much depreciation the first couple of years. As we found with cars, you can get very nice used with low mileage for about 1/2 the cost and hey, the first owner will have the bugs worked out and repairs that were needed already done. Yes, new motorhomes do have bugs and do required repairs sometimes right away.
