Why not gasser rear enging?
What is against rear engine gassers, and front engine diesels? Just wondering? Same goes for the common pickup truck diesels in the rear?

a rear engine gasser would eliminate most of the issues (noise) of a front engine gasser.
To eliminate the rest would require air ride and air brakes, and at that point, cost would be too close to a DP chassis.
The old rear dodge 440 fmc's were cool as hell.
One thing that needs to be remembered is few companies are building chassis configurations just for RV's. If it can't be used in a bus or delivery truck, the economies of scale just are not there.
Why do people still insist gassers are so loud? Because they're not.
BTW Newmar was using a mid-engine diesel. Really awesome layouts available.
