Lots of good stuff about class Cs. So why do so many swear by Class A DP over a Class A gasser?
Mostly it's due to their greater comfort, for several reasons. The engine noise in the driver's area is much lower (in no small part because the engine is a lot further away). The suspension system generally is based on air bags, rather than leaf springs, which makes for a softer, smoother ride in general. Usually the chassis is heavier duty overall, allowing at least the possibility of more solid construction, larger tanks, more cargo carrying capacity, etc. Many also find the comparatively low engine speed of a diesel far more agreeable than the pretty high-speed operation of the Ford V10.
In a lot of ways, it's like comparing a school bus to a city transit bus (or even a Greyhound bus).
