If the money equation (aka what can I/you afford?) was not one of the prime deciding factors, I would think 80% or more of class A's on the road would be DP's. However, most of us have to deal with the reality that $$$$$ doesn't grow on trees.
VinCee, that 80% may well be true, if money were not in the equation. However, I think there'd always be some demand for gasser MHs, from people like me that simply want nothing to do with a DP (regardless of $$) because:
1. I HATE having the door at very front, in front of passenger seat. It makes one feel like they're driving a big greyhound or school bus (LOL, every time I see one, I look for the stop arm and red blinking lights to come on). Not to mention how wierd it looks for passenger seat to be further back than driver seat.
2. I really, really like having a window on rear wall in back of MH (bedroom). I've yet to ever see any DP that has ever offered this.
3. I don't want a rig that requires service techs to march back and forth in the coach to the back bedroom, to get access to the engine for service.
4. Diesels just plain STINK, and they are LOUD. Diesels used in pickups have got much better in this regard in last few years, but big diesels in DP Motorhomes are just as loud and stinky as ever from what I've seen.
Anyway, I agree that this topic got waaay more techincal and went on much longer than the OP probably intended.
