We have decided that we will concentrate on finding a DP made by Winnebago/Itasca/Monaco, size 36-38'. This just seems the best choice for us. I have also enjoyed the DP/Gas debate, and we've learned an awful lot. Thanks again, JerryRe: Diesel vs gas for Class A....also length of RV....Thanks to all for your responses, and for your thoughts and ideas! This gives us a better chance of making the right decision. We are probably more of a "Parker" than a "driver", and I think a recent gas model of 32-36 feet may be about right for us. Of course, if it's like buying a house, that probably means we'll end up with a 40 foot diesel! Jerry & GayleDiesel vs gas for Class A....also length of RV....Hello! My wife and I have been camping for 40 yrs, from tent through big travel trailer. We are now considering purchasing a used class A motorhome. We have looked at several units and have two main questions we can use input on. - is it worth buying a diesel and paying a premium of about $0.40-.50 per gallon? I know they have better longevity, and better torque for hills and grades, in theory.... - is there a size point of motorhome length where you start having difficulty with state parks and campground navigating? Better to hold it to 30'-34'? Is 37' a problem? We will be up and down the east coast; from CT - New Orleans, Austin, Nashville, and plan one lengthy trip out west and back. Any help and insights you can offer are greatly appreciated! Jerry
