High end gasser or entry level DP
As we continue to shop for our new rig to start full time next year I keep teetering on gas vs diesel. (sort of full time - 6 mons at a time, break for a month, 6 months out...) My only real life expe...

Thanks for all the replies so far. Our "plan" is to tour the US - without too many details if that makes any sense. To Dennis' point, I think we have a high level plan but will sort of meander, finding unplanned things between planned destinations. There's a handful of must see places but the rest is going to include a great deal of figuring out where we want to go next. Camp times will probably only be a week at a time, and travel days in between. We plan on short travel days but I can envision some long days mixed in. I will be working - I work remote full time - so we'll be camped at a minimum Mon-Fr most weeks. DW and son will be sight seeing/recon and hone down the best places to take me when I'm not working. I am lucky in that my wife is fantastic at finding really cool places that I would have never thought of.
Anyway, hope that helps with how we plan to use the coach. Our priorities so far in shopping is floorplan, quality, dependability, and ride/comfort. We do plan on buying used as I have bought new and trying to sell them later you get killed on depreciation. Hoping to have less depreciation hit and most of the bugs worked out.
Side-note -I know that no one buys a coach with the intent of resale, RV's are not an investment by a long stretch. But I have to think about what the value of either coach will be in 5 years or so. Will a then - 10-12 DP be worth more or less than a 5-8 year old gasser - relative to what I paid? I understand there are a lot of variables and this is speculation.
