Gas or Diesel is a personal decision, I will always buy diesel power for my tow vehicles or motorhome... It costs more but the performance out ways the cost IMHO... Just make sure the HP rating is enough to do the task... Buying a smaller, lower HP diesel engine in the same style & length unit is a huge mistake and will cost more in fuel than a higher HP engine will... Fact Not Fiction...
I owned a trucking company for 30 years so I do have a little bit of knowledge that is first hand...

Just curious. Did you have diesel fires in a lot of those trucks because of leaking radiator hoses & evaporation of antifreeze that ignited? Seems like that is very common in diesel MHs due to how the engines are mounted in such confined spaces.
