Gas vs diesels

I am looking at class A MH and wanted some feedback on a gas model vs a diesel. I believe the diesel to be more costly to maintain however they should outlast a gas. Any advice would be appreciated

My $0.02 here. I have had both types (Gas and Diesel). Gas was a typical front engine GM power train. Diesel is a rear engine with a Cummins/Allison power train. There is a usually significant price difference up front. Maintenance costs are higher for a diesel MH in most cases (Oil changes and other routine service items). Today's gas engine models are far superior to the ones of several years ago. If it was me, I would concentrate on finding a floor plan and amenities you really like as opposed to focusing diesel/gas question. Budget is always a consideration but I think having a workable and livable floor plan is far more important when making a big $$ purchase. If I didn't already have a DP unit, I would have no hesitation in getting another gas powered one with the models available today.
