Upgrade to Gas or Diesel Class A?
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...

We went from a 2007 Winnebago Sightseer 35J (Ford chassis) to a 2016 Winnebago 36G and the difference in noise and ride is night and day. First the Sightseer is built on a truck chassis an no matter what you do it's still a truck. The Forza is on a Freight liner custom chassis and is much smoother ride. The roads that used to near jar my fillings out are hardly noticeable. Also the engine is in the rear and it is barely audible when cruising down the highway. With the improved ride there are very few rattles and squeaks. The other big advantage is the basement storage. It was slightly over double between my 2 units. This is basically because you have pass through storage between the axles because there isn't a drive shaft going from front to back. The 340 HP Cummins power plant seems to be very adequate. While more money we feel it was well worth it.
