Judging by your travel needs, I'd look at a newer gas model. I've owned both gas and diesel, and although the ride is better on a DP it's not worth the initial investment and higher maintenance costs if you're not full or "most" timing and don't need a 40 footer. New gas motorhomes are durable, have most of the DP amenities, and are powerful enough to take you anywhere you want to go. There's a lot of emphasis on the DP's better ride, but you'll be spending much more time parked. Good luck in whatever choice you make.
