Since joining the forum I've asked a lot of questions and received great answers. And when asking questions about something new, other questions come up.
One recommendation I received was buying a newer model Gasser instead of an older model DP. This is my first motorhome and I want something around 40 feet and want to spend no more than $100,000.00.
As I'm looking at used upper model Gassers, which i'd not done before, like Tiffin Allegro and Newmar Canyon Star. I found that the base models of Diesel Pushers are around the same price.
My question is "what's a better move for a new-be, a top of the line used Gasser or the used base model Diesel Pusher"?
Your help has been invaluable, thanks you!
To answer your question directly it would be a DP if you want 40 ft. As a first time buyer I would be asking a different question. What MH would meet my needs and how would you like to camp. I see you live in Florida not many hills there or pot holes. Are you still working? How much travel will you do outside of Florida? I would also suggest you read and study the 1st sticky at the top of this forum by Johnny T called "first time buyer" he explains in detail gas vs diesel MH's advantage and disadvantage of both. It dispels a lot of myths and takes the emotion out of the debate.
