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

LOL! And then you woke up. Even though the Ford V-10 is a very good gasoline engine, but one million miles???? Come on!
Most sure you can rebuild a block forever if you'd like and put more money in it, than it's worth, but the idea of diesel longevity is with going a Million miles without a major rebuild. However not that many owners will ever accomplish this many miles.
Even hard for 3 or 4 owners to do so, as eventually they won't buy your high mileage rig and turn towards the low mile products.
Having a DP for me, is more about having that awesome low end torque and it being in the back. Also with machines of 40ft or more, it's sort of a chore, for the little V10, no matter the HP and how loud it might scream for mercy.
