Low mileage gasser or high mileage diesel
I know there is more to consider than just mileage but wondering what the class A experts think. I am talking about late 1990 to early 2000 motorhomes. If everything else in a rv was pretty much even ...

You think 110K to 130K miles for a diesel coach is a lot? Well, other than a few items in the House part, the chassis, engine, trans, bearings, suspension, and a few dozen other components of the diesel unit is just about broken in a 130K. Let's face it here. There are VERY few RVers that put that kind of mileage on RVs. Yes, some do but, by and large, not very many.
And, the ones that do, obviously are doing it in long distance freeway miles since, just about no one drives a motor home, (especially a diesel) TO WORK every day, to put that kind of mileage on one. There's quite a few benefits to the diesel over the gas. I won't go into any of them now as you more than likely already know most of them.
But, even with modest proper care, that diesel will go easily double or triple that kind of mileage. I personally think you'd be way better off with the diesel. Your choice.
