Im new to this--going to do travel nursing on west coast/south area. Which rv should I buy? A new Class A or a used DIESEL Pusher? I dont think I can afford a new pusher.........and why??? thanks all!!!Sorry I meant DIESEL pusher..........or a class A gas rv?

A pusher is a class A. Do you mean a gasser or a diesel pusher?

Pros and Cons to both, what matters more is the Floor Plan. If it's not one you LOVE then you won't be happy with either.

Fuel cost per mile will be lower in a pusher as mine gets much better MPG than my 09 gasser, even with diesel costing more.Wish I had bought the diesel first -

I chose not to buy a DP because the cost of diesel fuel and maintenance. My coach gets very good MPG driving 55 mph and not towing all 4 down. Gas here in AZ. currently $3.19 per gallon, diesel is over $4.00 per gallon here. I change oil once a year at $65.00 per oil change a diesel is 4 times that price. And to be fair (I like diesels) I drove them all my working life I just wanted a change. My gas coach is the top of the Winnebago gas coach line when I bought it new 10 years ago and it gets me back and forth to Arizona just fine. I do miss air ride but I drive slower now and only 400 miles a day when traveling. Good Luck to you in whatever you choose to buy!

Fuel MPG is not really important. The difference annualized is minimal.Depreciation and repairs are way more. I have had two gas coaches and now a new 05 DP. To me the difference is lots of power uphill, better ride, better brakes quieter ride and can carry/tow more weight. If you aren't bombing around the Rockies all summer, you might not need a DP. If you are parking it way more than driving it, you might be fine with a gas unit. You might want to consider a fifth wheel or TT.

which one? class A or Pusher? Why? thanks | Good Sam Community
