Well, you asked, so here goes:
IMO a rear-engine diesel is not everything,.....it's the ONLY THING!
That's the impression I got after 5 front-engine motorhomes and just ONE diesel pusher.
You went through 5 front end diesel's to get that? Why did you keep buying them if you didn't like them?
Because during the period when I owned/used the first 3 I was somewhat ignorant about motorhomes, but I couldn't help learning a few things because I usually keep my eyes open. These 3 where gasoline engined, and all I could afford (less than elegant). The 4th was a bit better(still a gasoline engine though), and it made me more interested in learning about nicer units. My wife and I started talking more and more to RVers who had newer units, and some of them diesel pushers. We started talking/wishing for a diesel pusher. But, our 5th one was still a front gas-engined unit, on a Ford chassis. It was a Vectra (the Winnebago part of it was good/nice, but the Ford part was very disappointing). It led me into a period of learning more, and test driving some diesel pushers. I did quite a bit of research, and decided to special order a Dutch Star, just the way we wanted it. It's the only way to travel. If I had plenty of money, I would buy a 45 ft luxury DP (now that I've learned exactly which one).
