Gas pusher
DW and I are looking for a "Gas pusher" MH. What I understand so far is they were discontinued in 2008 due EPA reg. Please post if anyone knows of one for sale any where. Thank You.

The EPA had nothing to do with the failure of the UFO. Poor sales caused the demise of the UFO chassis. A gas engine in the rear of a motorhome will not sell because of additional chassis features available on a diesel chassis. Such as, air brakes and air suspension. Plus the fact that even a low end diesel engine has twice the torque of the 8.1.

Reality check: Torque is about wheel torque in what ever gear you are running in. Fact, at the rpm gas engines are running at, the wheel torque exceeds most of the smaller diesel wheel torque ratings. Anyone who actually takes the time to read the posts of those who own the coaches, you will find that even pulling mountains, the smaller DPs are going slower up the passes than the gassers.
