Buy the floorplan and features you like best regardless of how the coach is powered. You'll be spending a lot more time living in it than you will driving it.
Totally disagree. Full-timers carry a lot of weight. That and the vehicle towed greatly affects what you buy. Think SAFETY.
Floorplan would not be our major requirement. Pick a good manufacturer and good carrying capacity and THEN choose the floorplan from what they have to offer.
We would never buy gas if we went over 36'.
Yes, oil changes on a DP are more expensive but then, you don't have to do it as often as a gas.
Right now diesel is way less than gas.
If you're planning to do mountains a diesel will let you feel more comfortable doing it - both with power and braking.
