Buy a 2013 v10 MH or 2007 c-7 300hp?

We had a 35' Ford, a 38' Workhorse and now a 41' Journey. All are great and we have made 12 round trips to Oregon plus 12 3000 mile snowbirding trips. All of them preformed fine.....but neither come close to the diesel for the time on the road. You spend more time parked; so the floorplan trumps the chassis.... but nothing is close to the diesel for drining!

The diesel will give you a better ride with its air bags and engine in the rear will a whole bunch quieter in the cab.

Also a diesel can tow more, almost double what a gasser can.

The cost per mile driven for fuel will be about the same as even with diesel more in most places they get betmileagelage.

My first MH was a 2008 V10 Winnebago and we upgraded to the newer diesel.

Having said all that the wife usually wins based on layout.

We have a 32' class A with a v10 engine and we tow a Jeep Wrangler. We have been all over the Rockies several times as well as the Smokies and we have never had any difficulty. My husband also wanted a diesel but we just could not afford to put that much money into a motorhome. It isn't just the initial cost but maintenance is also higher on a diesel.

My first choice would be a diesel pusher, but my amount of usage does not justify that kind of purchase.

How often do you plan to use the coach?
