"I had at least 26 different RVs. Somehow I never found the diesel to be more powerful than the gas". This is very true. When people say a diesel is more powerful than a gas MH it is not an apples to apples comparison. For example 38-40 ft DP will weight 30K lbs or more and have maybe 300-380 HP. A gas MH on Ford chassis may weigh half the weight at 15-18K lbs and have 362HP. The gas MH will have the same 362 HP eng in any length while a DP will usually have a smaller eng in the shorter lengths. So a 32ft gas chassis will have a much higher HP to weight ratio than a 40 ft DP. Quality in general, soother ride and more living and cargo space would be better reasons to buy a DP.
