Having a Diesel pusher Class A now after a Class C, my experience is that a diesel adds up quickly. I do most of my own work, but the quantities are much greater in a DP. The Class C was like working on a truck or van most of the time. I have had to go through the bed in back end of RV to access Cummins which was nice experience. Refilling gallons of oil into the DP was tedious as the fill is quite high and awkward. All in all, I miss the ease of the Class C set-up, but it may be just getting used to the DP set-up. My difference in price for just maintenance would be in neighborhood of $500-$1000, but maybe a little less doing it all yourself. I believe that when they see a DP coming into the shop, the price goes up, but that is just my opinion and YMMV. Good luck
