What a great post Johnny; particularly to one like me who is about to venture into the RV world, and barely knows the questions to ask! Right now, the question of the day seems to be whether to buy a new class B (or big C) or a used Class A. We originally thought we wanted to stay as small as was consistent with at least a queen bed and a moderate budget. That puts us into a new 28' or larger gas E450 (like a Minnie Winnie) which at some $85K well equipped isn't far off the mark of some of the used 34'+ class A's I'm seeing on ebay which are generally better powered with "real" diesels (Cat & Cummins 250-300hp and great torque), Allison's and very well equipped on truck (read 400,000+ miles expected life) chassis.
Just pure conjecture, but the E450 would just seem more user friendly and easier to drive than a class A Freightliner or such, but I'm not sure. Any comments along these lines.
Again thanks for the post and your willingness to share this information....to the fellow that said: "too long for me", here's a suggestion....don't read it 'cause you obviously don't need it.
