Comparing any gas powered MH to a medium or heavy duty powered Coach is completely missing the point, which is lifestyle.
???????????????
How does one's lifestyle change between diesel and gas? The sights out the front window are the same when moving, and the experiences, when parked, are the same. The differences in comfort (driving or parked) between an upscale gasser and a diesel aren't that great.
The sights are the same if you have a one piece windscreen. The ride is the same if you have 8 or 10 outboard air bags. Then sound is the same if you have an engine in the rear and are towing 10 or 15 k. Parked? Ever worry about your jacks getting stuck? You wouldn't if you have airbag leveling. Can you take an endless shower? How about those really hot days when you run the third AC? How about stuff, can you carry 6-8k of stuff with your tag axle?
And so on. If those thing have no value then you don't miss them. If, however, you enjoy them and can afford them then they likely aren't available in a gas MH. Which is why I say let your amenities drive your fuel choice, don't let your fuel choice drive your amenities.
