Choosing Gasoline or Diesel Powered?
I realize that this is a long thread but if you are pondering the Gasoline versus a Diesel based on power consideration or are wondering about adding an after market performance enhancing kit to a Gas...

Great thread, although I thought that you left one thing out on the gasser side. Since you were using the 8.1 for your comparison the Allison trans has a grade brake that is simular to an aux brake on a DP. I have an 05 W22 with the grade brake and while it isnt an engine brake it does a very good job of mimicing one. I live in the mountains and drop 5000' in 18 miles when we go on an outting and the grade brake keeps our MH at 40-50mph without using the brake pedal at all.
We considered a DP when we bought our MH but couldnt justify the extra cost for our needs right now. Maybe when we retire, but if things continue to improve at the present rate it will be interesting to see what the RV companies come up with in 10 years!
