Thanks,

To directly answer your question.YES without doubt Gas front engine A are noisy when going uphill under load.The new ones not near as bad as old ones but still pretty noisy. (screamy)
BUT a new diesel pusher even a "entry grade" is 200K+ and a gasser is like 100K or less I have not priced one out in last couple years
With the thousands you can save with a gas motorhome you can have someone or yourself to sound proof the front area, this is what I did and my noise level is half of what it was, buying a diesel just for a quite ride seems like a waste of money unless your rich.
What did you do to sound proof the front end of your gasser? I have some road noise that I would like to lower a bit. The engine is quite enough unless you get on it to go up hills or pass.
