1)Been thinking about looking into a class A (gas) in the $100,000.00 range Max (MSRP), don't think I could afford anything decent in a diesel pusher.
You should be able to buy a new $100k MH for about $75,000. There are some awesome used DP motorhomes in that $75-100 range that would make a much better full time home than a new gas powered motorhome in same price range.
Totally agree. There are some high quality DP out there - used - that you could buy in your price range. Buying a used one will 'usually' have the kinks worked out.
We used a Travel Supreme 5th wheel for 8 years of our full-timing. Friends got us hooked on Jeeping so we switched to our Newmar motorhome.
Overall, they both worked for us but the motorhome had a big edge. It's such a comfortable ride and the basement storage is huge. We volunteered a lot along the way so we sat still for 6-8 weeks. There's no issue of just sitting with a diesel motorhome. Think of farm machinery that sits all winter. We especially loved the motorhome because we didn't have to drive that big truck around for siteseeing.
