The idea that diesels have higher maintenance costs is just a myth. I'd like to see someone demonstrate that it is true. If you will be pulling up mountains then a diesel is much better. Otherwise plan to be grinding up slopes at 30-40 mph. Diesels get somewhat better, not great, but better mileage when pulling heavy loads. They also have much better resale value.
This applies to towing a heavy RV like a fiver or a big TT. Not the mini TT in the photo above. If you will only be hauling a small RV and will not want a bigger one then get a gasser.
They are heavier and have that higher initial purchase price. Fuel can be slightly more difficult to find but it seems to me that more stations are carrying diesel now days.
