Re: Diesel vs gas......................
I am a new member and two years into the RVing. I read about an hours worth of this and I would conclude that Gas vs Diesel comes down to this. Trucks are tools. Buy the one that is best for the job you are putting it too. I am currently pulling a 24ft TT with a Tahoe for maybe 6000miles per year on mostly flat ground. I am toying with the idea of moving up to a 5th wheel. My analysis of all this is that when I make this move and obviously trade trucks that a diesel truck would be best especially if I plan to increase the miles I would put on the rigs. Its apparent to me that if it costs big bucks to make this jump and my decision has more to do with how much time and distance I am going to spend in the RV then anything. I have seen little or no reason to go gas except the cost of admission. That you can't argue with. Yes you have the disadvantages of diesel and I would suggest that is the trade off for having to have a bigger better trailer. I am happy with the Tahoe with what I am towing but the reality is I know the limitations too. Big trailers need big powerful TV with big powerful motors and that pretty much spells DIESEL in todays world. You could argue the money till the cows come home but this is silly to a point. I think the issue is waste with fuel economy. I think everyone would agree its wasteful enough getting 13 mpg as compared to 7 0r 8 mpg. John H420Views0likes0Comments
