I wish I had a dollar for every time some poster told me I should get a diesel motor or a car that I can flat-tow. I wish I had another dollar for every time I thought to myself if money was no object I probably would do that. If I had all those dollars money would probably not be an object for me.
Odd, to be seeking solid advice, then complaining that you don't like what you read, eh? You haven't bought a motorhome yet, so there is no reason that you are forced to buy a gas one. In any price range, the motor is your choice. You can buy an excellent, high quality diesel in a used Newmar, or similar product, for less that a POS new gasser from the mega-manufacturers will cost. Doesn't matter if you are spending $35K or $200k, deciding what powers your motorhome is your choice, and you are only limited by your ability and knowledge as you shop for one. You can also get rid of the Subaru and replace it with something that flat tows, fairly easily. IF you want to plague yourself with an overweight trailer on a gasser that can't really handle the job, that's your choice. There are lots of compelling reasons to avoid doing so, however.
