Newer entry level DP bunkhouses?
After 2 years of owning a small gasser my family and I have come to better understand what we really want out of a coach. The ACE is great and no real complaints. But you get what you pay for. So a fe...

One floorplan aspect I can never get past with DP motorhomes, regardless of price or any other issue, that really rules it out for us: We really, really like having a window on the back wall of the bedroom. I've yet to ever see ANY diesel pusher model that offers that. I guess it has something to do with the engine being back there, and the air intake being inside that back wall? I dunno, but it pretty much means we'll always own a gasser MH of some form.

That's not only on DPs; most modern gas class As do not have rear windows.
Just looking real quick at floorplans by various manufacturers:
Fleetwood: only some models of Storm have it. The rest (Southwind, Bounder, Bounder Classic, Terra) don't
Tiffin: none have it
Newmar: none have it
Winnebago : one Sightseer has it, one Vista has it, one Adventurer has it but the rest don't (i.e. about 90% of their floorplans don't have it)
Forest River: most models have it
Thor: most models have it
Monaco: some LaPalmas and some Monarchs have it.
Welll, I'm not sure its accurate to say 'most' modern gas class A's don't have the rear window. Especially since your own list here that shows several (most FR and THOR models) do have it.
I think whether or not the back window is there on gasser MHs has much more to do with floorplan design than anything else. However, it appears with DPs that its pretty near impossible to do, regardless of floorplan design.
Hence the reason, like I said, there probably will never be a DP motorhome in our driveway. :)
