I would say the issue is not underpowered but longevity. I just turned 163k on my coach. I am not concerned about the drivetrain. If I had a gasser, I am sure I would be thinking of a new engine or transmission sooner or later. Now some people put a few miles on but the old diesels of the early 90s are still running strong on the original drivetrain. If you are going to travel 5k a yr and keep it under 10 years either works but mine is now 13 years old and I totally remodeled the inside and it is good for another 13 years at least. Friends took a 93 up to Alaska this summer. The other thing people forget when they say floor plan is the deciding factor is how you are going to use it. I have 110 gallons of water and a 110 grey and 80 black tank. I can boondock pretty easy and for a while and my fuel rank is 200 gallons too. Means I can drive across country filling up at the cheapest locations.
