Should I consider gas burner
Just got back from a swing around Arkansas (and Memphis) looking at some diesel pushers. Saw many we liked but couldn't make the price work. With our budget most salesmen were steering us toward gas c...

There are a lot of folks that like their gassers, a lot like their diesels. I'm in the latter camp. I towed for years with a gasser...didn't like the cost in buying or the "cost" of owning. When we had our 5th wheel, I got a diesel truck (Ram Long Horn with the CTD) and will never tow or haul or push any weight with anything but a diesel. I'd even like to have diesels in my cars, but, the European versions are the only ones that you could get with a diesel (Dodge Journey and a Jeep Trail Hawk).
Now that I've got the motor home, I couldn't imagine it without a diesel (42' and 38,000 lbs as we travel). We have already "talked" about what we will do when we get older and don't need or want the big motorhome. A smaller class C would work better for shorter trips, but, you can bet it will be a diesel...
There are lots of threads about the pros and cons of each type...I won't go into them again, but, my vote will always be for a diesel; whether powering a motorhome or towing a bumper pull or 5th wheel. As for the generator sitting in the front of our DP? Can't hear it hardly at all when parked (it is just a "humm" and we don't need to turn up the volume on anything) and if it didn't have an "ON" light, I'd never know it was running when going down the road.
