I know why some folks might say you will want a bigger camper, buy diesel, etc. And it's not for my benefit, it's to quell your own thoughts. No need in trying to justify the choice you made in buying a diesel when it's apparent that 90% of folks that own them do so out of want, rather than need. I'm not judging anyone, I understand perfectly as I would love to own a diesel, if it weren't for some specific concerns I had. And also being totally honest with myself in admitting that we don't need one.
We are buying a $80-90k Airstream and would not do so if we wanted a fiberglass home away from home with 5 slide outs. Nothing wrong with that of course, it's just not what we wanted. I'm buyin a camper to replace a tent, not my house. We chose Airstream and we will be able to pass it down to our kids one day if we take care of it. Not many new campers will fare so well over the next 30 years. It's great that we live in a day where there are so many choices of high quality campers and trucks. The hard part is choosing wisely from so many.
PS, just a quick edit:
I wasn't referring to folks commenting on this thread about justifying a diesel. Don't want to bite the hand that feeds. Just talking generally as this conversation has been played out a thousand times before us.
