Diesel or Gas Class A, That's the question.
We'll be going full time in about a year, Never did the RV thing but we need an adventurous change. Wondering about the pros & cons of both. Fuel, Maintenance etc. Thanks.

yep, 5,000 miles a year is more reasonable than 20K.

I'm thinking the vast majority of motorhomes get driven about that a year. Probably a huge percentage are used on weekends or a national park trip, then they sit for months. There are gazillions in ads that are 15 years old and have less than 30k miles.
I'm also thinking the OP is talking about living full time, and that doesn't automatically mean motorhome living. One disadvantage to a motorhome's slides: they need to be small so it's livable on the road. A trailer or 5th wheel's slides can all but touch in the middle because nobody's riding there during travel. (They'd darn well better not be!) Some 5'ers 'inflate' to small apartments when set up.
With a trailer, 5th wheel or otherwise, the dingy is also the tow rig, and if it's a diesel, is much cheaper to operate/maintain than a large OTR (Over The Road) based diesel engine.
