Yep, get a diesel because you need the power not because you think it will last longer or save money on fuel.
Especially with the newer electronically controlled diesels, there isn't going to be much difference in drivetrain lifespan.
Unless you are putting on 50k miles per year, odds are the house will wear out before the drivetrain and any fuel savings are unlikely to negate the up front cost. Just normal manufacturer recommended maintenance should get you north of 250k miles.
This goes for MH or tow vehicles.
