some consistent comments on cost, complexity, and depreciation of a higher priced rig with a big diesel (DP).
I thought sure I wanted one, have been pining away for years. But now I'm not so sure. I find my gas coach easy to drive, cheap to maintain, does all I need, easy to afford. Think I'll hang on to it. The only downside is the ride comparison - the DP's are somewhat quieter and ride a lot better. That's worth something, not sure how much though. In my case it would be double the cost.
When I get ready to retire and consider at least part-timing then a bigger DP coach will make a lot more sense. If it was my house everything would change.
