Gas or Diesel?? which is better

Gator, it's funny you mentioned wheelbase. Yesterday while working on adding an additional 10 foot fresh water hose extension I noticed where my old Bounder's wheels were parked. The new rig's rear wheels are 6 feet further back and the front wheels are 3 feet further forward. So, this a 9 foot difference in wheelbase on a rig which is only 6 feet longer. However, the Bounder was listed as just under 18K lbs and this rig is listed at just under 28K lbs. Also, having the engine and transmission in the back might also account for the wheels being further back and thus the longer wheelbase. Yes, having owned many pickup trucks in the past, I know how longer wheelbases can improve the ride and handling. Good point.
