Never having owned or driven a diesel powered RV, I shouldn't comment but I think that "prestige" plays a part in choice of RV power plants for many.

You clearly haven't spent time around a V6 Sprinter. I test drove a Ford V10 back to back with a Sprinter and the Ford sounded like a jet turbine between us in the cab....it was about the size of one too between us. I put my face directly in front of the engine exhaust when leveling the RV. It's just hot air coming out. There is no smoke, even on startup. I am not one of those idiots that seems to think idling for protracted periods of time makes me cool, BUT the Benz idles quite quietly.
