My last diesel coach I put 150K miles on - I chose to have a diesel engine, which was the only way to go. The V8 gasser would have eaten me alive in fuel costs alone, not to mention it's higher maintenance costs.
As far as maintenance you need to change the oil on a DP every 25,000 miles or one year whichever comes first. With a gas unit I think the number is every 5,000 miles. There are more filters to change on the DP than the gas unit. I have had both and prefer the DP. I also like the front door vs one right in the middle of the living area. I like the storage capacity and yes, I do like the torque of the DP.
