I happened to glance at a 2015 Fleetwood Excursion 33D. It has a 300HP Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel engine. The coach I own has a 340HP Workhorse 8.1L gas engine. Both have the Allison 6 speed transmission. I'm no mechanic or engineer, but I can subtract. Would I not be losing 40 horse power? Would that some how be gained back because it is a diesel?
Yes because you will be gaining a lot of torque at very low RPM. It would be a night and day difference driving.
Not to mention its a pusher so it will be a quieter ride for you with the engine in the back.
