So expanding on this topic a little: We were already leaning heavily toward the diesel path. Yes the difference in quality between the Coachmen Pathfinder and Beaver is clear!
So my question now is about all the diesel maintenance comments. I have had diesel trucks and yea the oil changes are higher, tires are larger so they cost more and Allison transmissions are practically bullet proof but when they do break it is not cheap. What other maintenance areas are you all referring to that I am missing? I keep an "oh ****" repair fund but it sounds like I might need a $20,000 fund for a $70,000 coach! LoL
