Gas vs Diesel.
I will skip the basics that keep getting rehashed and get on with it.
If the vehicle will be TV only, go diesel
If only a TV a few times annualy and a daily driver otherwise- go gas
Diesel is better for towing as the engine develope more torque at a lower rpm which is what you need to get going.
Gas is better for daily driving as there will be quicker throttle response when zipping in and out of traffic
I have also read about using diesel appliances only in RVs. Never sen anything about gas appliances in RVs. Not something I would convert to unless I used the trailer alot and had a diesel TV.
