should I consider older diesel pusher?
Hi. I'm not sure if I pasted the link correctly. What do you think of this rig? Looking for something that is comfortable to take family on long road trips. Any idea on reliability or mpg? 1998 F...

Regarding the bunks, I have two small kids so the bunks would be very useful. Its funny, I had started off looking at Class C bunkhouses. They felt a little small and typically don't have leveling jacks so I bumped up my search to small gas Class A. I then figured if I'm looking at a 32' Class A I might as well look at adding a few extra feet. So then I ended up looking at rigs like a 2008 Winnebago 35J. And now I'm looking at a DP. Does it ever stop? :-)
I love the feedback. If it helps to understand what I'm trying to do, I live in Portland and have two primary uses for the motorhome. Many short trips to the coast and many long (2k+ mile) trips. All with the family. My current trailer really works great for the short trips but I am thinking that a motorhome will be a lot better for the long trips.
Any idea on what sort of MPG a 1998 40' DP gets? I ask that because if I do 15k miles per year the difference between 10 mpg vs 6 mpg is about $3k or the equivalent of the cost several additional trips. I am guessing that a 40' DP will get about the same MPG as a 35' Gas Class A... maybe 7mpg average?
Mostly I will not be towing anything.
