So I've seen numerous posts on this site over the past month that state if your rig is going to sit for long periods of time, go with a gasser. Why is this? Are the seals different in the engine?

I'm trying to decide between a gas and diesel for my next unit, and am leaning towards a diesel just because I'd like the higher quality interior, air ride, and having the engine noise 30+ feet behind me. I use my rig about 4-5 times a year, sometimes for a weekend, sometimes for a couple weeks of travel.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I believe they were suggesting that if you are not going to be using the coach it's not worth the extra cost in buying a DP. Nothing to do with anything engine related.

Ahhh, maybe that is what they were talking about. I was thinking that somehow gassers fared better sitting for long periods of time. I'm looking at turn-of-the-millinnium diesels so depreciation won't be as bad as on a new one.
