Don't take this the wrong way but it's apparent you've never owned a diesel.

While a gas coach is wonderful, I cannot think of even one advantage it has over a diesel.

Even when not driving, typically the build materials are a touch above a gasser - not a knock on a gasser, there is just more chassis under the diesel to handle the weight so they can use heavier materials.

Also the basement storage of a diesel is something a gasser just can't do. And full timing storage is always at a premium.

Now get to the driving side of the discussion.

Years ago we were warned by friends DO NOT DRIVE A DIESEL PUSHER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SIGN THE PAPERS. They were right.

You would be wrong, Bruce, I have owned an Allegro Bay DP, and yes it did ride and drive better than the gassers I've owned and currently own. A DP doesn't necessarily "live" better than a gasser though, if it doesn't have a floorplan that fits you. I don't care how often you move, you'll still spend more time living in it than you will driving it. Note that I did NOT say a gasser was necessarily a better choice than a DP, just that the power plant should not be the overriding decision maker for an RV that spends most of its time sitting still.
