Two points not touched on: While the cost of fuel may even out between gas and diesel, diesels typically have larger fuel tanks that give you a longer range. It is nice to not have to stop every 400 miles--we have a 158 gallon tank that gives us at least a 1000-mile range so we can pick the cheaper places to fuel. And we can still stop more often of we want.
The load capacity are usually much higher on diesels. I have seen new gas motorhomes with only 1,500 pound load capacity, and that will not include dealer-installed items or anything in the holding tanks.
