Choosing Gasoline or Diesel Powered?

I'm a little surprised that other members haven't replied to this thread, but that is probably because you did such a good job of writing it. You really didn't leave any stone unturned. I read it and was saying to myself, yeah, yeah, right, right, yep, and on and on! I drove the Freightliner "FRED" today and I think it fits somewhere in between the gasser and DP. You'll be able to buy a class A from 34-39' on the Fred and all should have between 2-4 slides. Kevin Cook (AAFD) and I are interested in the Allegro Bay 37QDB/FRED. We're (Joanne & I)leaving for Grand Junction, Colorado a week from now and like you mentioned, we should have no problem traversing the mountains on I-70 with our Banks equipped W-22. I feel that both gasoline powered and diesel powered class A's have continued to evolve as a FIRST class way to travel and vacation. I know that my wife and I are eagerly looking forward to our 5,100 mile southwestern loop that will last (19) days. I wish I could write as well as JohnnyT. Sincerely, Chuck/Bagman.
