What length? If less than 38’ you do not need a diesel and this is from a diesel only person. Unfortunately many of the gas rigs, in quality, are more like a trailer put on a Truck Chassis. IF you can use a MH 100+ days/year then the higher maintenance of a diesel is not so bad.
Was that confusing enough?
Sufficiently confusing. But 38 or bigger is in the cards. Either way, gas is not an option. I have done the gas truck to diesel truck thing and gas boat to diesel boat thing, and there is no looking back now, unless I were to just scale down and grab a Class C for a while. That Triton V-10 must be decent, otherwise coach manufacturers would have demanded a Powerstroke in every E-450 chassis.
Honestly, you may have a swayful argument for a gasser, but I don't want to be the guy creeping up a grade at 35 mph, or wondering if the coolant is going to boil, or listening to all those moving parts whiz back and forth next to my chins. Rear mounted diesel has so many advantages, I'm sold.
