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 ...

As a general rule, "all else equal" is usually not the case when comparing a DP and gasser. The DP is usually better built with a nicer interior. With that said, I went with a newer gasser and am happy. My only issue is the limitation of 5,000 lbs pulling. While the diesel engine is supposed to last longer, by the time you put that kind of mileage on the rig everything else is going to wear out. Heck, I have a ford explorer gasser up at my cabin that is a 1995 with near 200,000 miles on it. It doesn't use a drop of oil and has the original tranny. Keep your maintenance up on whatever you buy and go camp!
