Mileage is better but the difference is eaten up by fuel treatment.
I've seen the "diesel is better than gas because of mileage" argument a lot over the years. Not just RVs, but trucks in general. It's kind of a pointless statement if you think about it. Since in 99% of situations, there is absolutely no way the MPG gained will offset the initial premium cost associated with going with the diesel option.
And honestly, the fuel treatment (I assume you're referring to the DEF fluid?) really isn't a big deal. Its cheap and at least my MH seems to consume very little (I've only filled the DEF reseivor twice in 7k miles.) The second time was when I took it to my Ford dealer to change the oil and they just included it in the service for free.
Bottom line, go with a diesel for the additional power over a gasser. Not because of mileage.
