So we are currently on Motorhome #4, a 1999 Itasca Suncruiser purchsed used in 2006. Overall we have been happy with the RV, but looking to go a bit newer to bridge to the final "retirement" coach in...

I have a 98 Country Coach Diesel pusher. I never owned a gaser. I do like how quiet it is having the engine in the back. As for maintenance, my Cummins holds 7 gallons of oil, the oil filter is huge, I have 2 fuel filters, a large air filter and a coolant filter. So the basic maintenance is going to cost more but the longevity of the Engine and Tranny is well worth it. I have the Allison 3060 Tranny, I had the fluid and filters changed at an Allison Shop and when I was leaving they said see you in 300,000 miles. That tells a story right there. For the larger and heavier class A coaches you can't beat a diesel. They are built to run, built to work and built to last. Why is it you don't find gas engines in 18 wheelers.
