I've often posted that I'd take a 6-8 year old high end DP over a new gasser for the same price. BUT for four weeks/year KEEP WHAT YOU HAVE. For most of us RVs (Recreational Vehicles) are expensive toys as we are not Full Timers. My daddy said "pay cash for toys" but your up bring might be different.
If you have a 20 year mortgage you are so upside down that you'll have to come up with thousands of dollars or roll that amount into a new mortgage to change rigs... just increasing the problem.
If you buy into having to change the oil every year (regardless of the number of miles) stay with a gasser. Pull a oil sample at one year and see what the results are.
I could go on but four weeks/year is all I need to know as I often advise that you need to use expensive toys 100 days/year, even if you paid cash for it. Thank you dad.
