Wanda, the longevity of gasoline engines have improved greatly to the point where I am not sure that longevity is an issue... The reason I say that is the amount of mileage that the typical RVer puts on their motorhome Gas or Diesel is fairly low.
If a gasoline powered motorhome meets all your other requirements I would not discount it on the basis of durability.
I would begin with asking yourself.. How many miles per year are you planning to travel... If you believe you are going to keep the motorhome for an extended time frame and you plan to put significant miles per year...then longevity will come into plan...
One other question I would ask is how much would it cost to replace the engine.
The diesel engine is designed to go more miles that a gasoline engine but for most the added longevity never comes into play...
