I have been thinking long and hard about upgrading to a (34'-36') Class A. After seeing the price difference between the entry level diesel pushers and the Gas powered I'm just wondering if the Gas would be enough?
We usually just do weekend trips and a couple week long trips a year.
The only long drive would be to Florida from Ct. so the kids can see Grammy and Poppy.
I wouldn't dare make that trip now with the kids cooped up in a pickup for that long.
So my question are:
How powerful is the V10? Does it struggle towing a car?
What size cars are you towing behind it?
What kind of MPG should i expect with a car in tow?
Thanks,

Depends on how deep your pockets are for a depreciating asset and a gas puller will suit your every need. I would go the extra expense of purchase and maintenance of a DP, however, if we were to be doing 25K miles a year or so and wanted to keep it long term. In either case, we always buy used and let someone else take the hit and make the Dealer trips.
I mean people have been known to buy new high end DP's and never drive them much at all, thereby taking a depreciation per mile hit that would boggle most minds, but that's not us and if that were our mindset with everything, then our net worth would probably be very close to 0.
