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.
I don't think he meant that diesels are safer one way or the other than gas, just a more comfy, laid back pull. I stop my 18'000# load just fine without an EB also. It's just 1 more thing that a diesel engine can have to make the tow more comfy and laid back. :W
