at 100k, you can get a damned nice not too old 4 slide used diesel pusher.
So tell me why I would need a diesel? I sat on a rural highway at -60f wind chill when my diesel PU diesel gelled. My gas engine starts under all conditions. Don't tell me I need a diesel. I'm a rancher in WY. I know what diesels do in the winter. Diesels are great in warm weather when you drive them every day. I let my gasser PU sit for week
s in -25f weather and it starts every tine. Try that with a diesel.
Wow, I sure wouldn't want a diesel in that weather, nor would I want take any motorhome in that weather! That's just too darn cold.
We have never winterized our motorhome in 7.5 yrs. (2008 Monaco Dynasty) and don't plan on winterizing the new one either. We stay south in the cold months.

I used to have a friend from North Dakota. He was stationed here at the marine base in Barstow, Ca. I noticed his car had an electric cord hanging in the front by the radiator. I asked him what the electric cord was for. He said where he comes from the chill factor has gotten to -60 degrees and that gasoline cars would not start unless they had a block heater. So I guess it affected his car and it was gasoline.
