It may seem that way to you, but the way I see it, there really isn't much of choice. And, here's why: it's a given that most fulltimers prefer to buy a motorhome with a floorplan that suits their needs. But, it's my experience that most suitable floorplans require a lot of square feet of space. Of course, there's also basement carrying capacity. For fulltiming, the bigger the better,....because even the largest motorhome is a small place to live. BY the time you get this floorplan, and all the other desirable features, you end up with something so heavy that the manufacturers decided that the best choice is a readily-available chassis(s) which happen to be diesel pushers. And, THAT'S why the majority of us end up with a big diesel pusher.
You might respond with the fact that not everyone wants, or needs, a big diesel pusher. That's true, but IMO opinion, a few years of fulltiming will convince them otherwise.
Most of us prefer to live in a larger space, than what a small motorhome offers.
That's why most of us who have fulltiming experience almost always recommend a big diesel pusher.
