Upgrade from gas to DP

I have searched for this but could not find what I was looking for. I have a 36 foot gas class A and have probably driven 1000 miles with it, the longest stretch at one time was 200 miles. It drives fairly well, but have driven in a bit of a wind storm and have felt the effects of an 18 wheeler as it passed me.
I would like to drive from Florida to California in a MH, but not sure I want to do that in my current coach.
Am I fooling myself in thinking that a DP would be less taxing in long drives?
I have been looking at 10 year old DP coaches in the 39 foot length.

The largest contributing factor is with how much tail is trying to wag the dog. Also a tag axle helps as it must have on our former gas coach, which we drove all over the country, without incident and including windstorms across the US desert SW. This also shortened the tail behind the rear wheels, so.....
With our present DP, it handles even better and doesn't have a tag, but still not much tail and then we're talking apples and oranges here with weight and a Spartan chassis.
A DP will handle and ride better as a general rule and has many other benefits to making your trips more enjoyable, both for the driver and passengers. There's a lot of argument for gas vs diesel, but not many go back, once they switch to a DP.
Then there's the selection of 10yr old DP's, but probably should be reserved for another topic of which many abound, already.
I think we found the best bang for the buck, after much research with ours, but then doesn't most everyone else and why they make so many.
