Certainly the biggest advantage in a gas class A is low acquisition price. After that all advantages tilt to the DP. Higher maintenance costs are farcical, consider changing oil every 3000 miles compared to every 15,000 miles or longer. When climbing a hill the gasser screams and is very noisy, the DP just walks right up the hill without slowing or screaming. Ride cannot be compared to a heavier coach on air ride versus a lighter coach on springs. A DP has better appointments, more luxury, better comfort systems, and nicer layouts.
There really is no way to compare them they are not the same thing and are apples versus oranges. It really comes down to what you can afford or are willing to spend.
I asked for a DP only thread as there is a HUGE difference in gas coaches vs diesel pushers and the answer was a (new America) don't want to hurt anyone's feelings thing. I was not trying to be exclusive, just to narrow the information into catagories that are applicable. Reading about a gasser for me (which is a majority) is like reading General RV topics threads.
