You are looking at two very strong brands, But what exactly are you looking for as far as size and amenities. If your willing to stretch out for a good deal I found a well maintained 1999 Safari Trek 26RB diesel Clicky Thier unique in many ways and have all of the luxuries of a bigger coach. Safari is a division of Monaco coach which is also known for quality in their diesel pushers. And for only $19k its one of the better values.
That Trek has a 6.5L GMC diesel, stay away from it. Some of the Treks have a Isuzu 3.9L inline 4 diesel engine, and are only 90" wide (not the normal 102" wide body motorhome). The better Safari will have a large 8.3L inline 6 cylinder Cummings or larger engines in them.
I have a gas engine motorhome, and it works fine. You can find many used Bounder or it's slightly more expensive brother Pace Arrow, and even more amenities the Southwind brand. Stormy or Southwind Storm is the entry level, and what I picked out, before the wife saw the advantages of the pass through storage and lighted storage in the $7,000 more expensive Bounder.
