Let's beat this horse once again
I know this subject must have come up many times, but I'm still wanting opinions from this great group of RVer's. With a budget of $75k, which way is the best to travel...an older diesel pusher, or...

We downsized about 6 years ago from a 35' 5th Wheel. Thinking we did not need something that large and wanted something easier to set up. We decided on a 30' gasser 2017 v10 new rig. It was great enough power for what we wanted pulled the car etc. The engine noise was doable but then I have a hard time hearing anyway. After traveling a year and half we knew we lost some important things in the downsize. The holding tanks on the gasser were very small black was only 26 gal.. Maybe more important was lack of storage both inside and out.
We started looking for different units and found that the diesels pushers have alot more outside storage than other units. Anyway my point is you need to look at what you are going to be doing with your rig.
If for weekends a gasser may work out, if for long trips I would go with diesel. As we go out for months at a time the diesel with all its storage is the correct unit for us. By the way the 2007 Itasca Meridian is so much better built than the 2017 gasser.
