Gas Class A
We have camped in a Rambler Station Wagon, upgraded to a Dodge van, and Truck Campered or Travel Trailered all over the Pacific Northwest. My lovely bride is not happy with the seats in my 2007.5 6.7 ...

A few things to consider.
We also did the tent, van, pop-up, and fiver before getting our now Class A gasser.
We only use ours five or six times a year for a week or two at a time.
WE own a diesel truck which we used to drag the fiver. This is the best vehicle I've ever owned, a 2007 model, so I started looking at the DP's.
After considering the initial cost of a newer used one and maintenance cost thereafter, I decided to go with our 2014 Tiffin Allegro, with the V-10 motor. The oil change on my gasser is less than $50.00.
As others have stated, the motor is louder going up hills, but on level roads we find it very quiet.
You probably will be parked much more than traveling, so make sure whatever you decide, you like the layout of the living quarters.
We just completed a round trip to Wyoming from Texas for the high school rodeo finals, and enjoyed every bit of our trip.
Since Covid is pretty much behind us, the used RV's have come down in price, so you may be jumping in at a good time.
When looking, I narrowed it down to the Fleetwood Bounder, Newmar, and Tiffin Allegro. We liked these for good reviews and models having the bath and a half.
WE found that Winnie had many roof design problems on some models. Check out RV Expert on You-Tube.
Good Luck....
