I have a 31 foot gasser with a Five Star tuning in it, and no matter what hill, I am almost dancing around the ever so slow diesel pushers. Even with my Subaru outback in tow I never need to use the truck lane. I don't know who invented the fairy tale that diesel pusher can climb mountains better or faster. It is all a relation of hp to weight that decides who gets up the hill better!
My short motorhome is ideal for my purpose, I can park it at my house and at the houses of friends and relatives, or I can go into state or federal parks and always find a space. And because of its 19 1/2" tires, it is just a little over 11' tall and I can go almost under any bridge around!
It is the right unit for us, you have to find the right on for you and your needs!
So you're talking about a gasser you had to beef up for racing up the hill, comparing it to a stock DP who is probably much bigger and much heavier? Not really understanding the logic. If you wanted to compare to a comparable size DP which have chipped the engine or beefed it up, then the comparison would be more logical, and the outcome very different.
But then who cares which made it up the hill first. You'll probably spend more time at the gas pump with the gasser either way.
