You do not need a diesel. I have NEVER, NOT ONCE seen ANY RV trailer that could not be towed safely with gas power.
But sure, let's talk about going downhill: a diesel needs a band-aid fix (like an exhaust brake), a gas engine does not.
Ever pull one that is in excess of 13K? I don't think a gasser would like it. I have towed 5/6K with a gasser and I got by for a few years but when I went to go big on the trailer I upgraded to a diesel. Trust me if I didn't need it I wouldn't have it because of the cost of repairs and maint.
I have a friend that has one that is around 16K ever pull something like that with a gasser??
