Larger coaches dictate a diesel, but you will pay big $$ for service and maintenance. Once you get to the campground, the gasser is just as quiet as the diesel.

Which is BETTER? A Cadillac is better than a Chevy. It is also more expensive. Likewise with a diesel vs gas coach except the diesel vs gas “more better” than the Cadillac vs Chevy.
A Cadillac is not better than a Chevy. It might have more unnecessary accessories or something that makes the owner feel somehow superior, but the reality is that both cars will drive very well and likely last just as long. The downside is the the over priced Cadillac will depreciate much faster.

Why buy either when you can camp all over the country in a tent and drive a Prius? Look at all the money you’ll save. Look at the gas mileage the little Prius gets.
Oh, that’s right, sometimes we decide to spend more money for a better experience! That is why people buy diesels instead of a gasser that can go all the same places for less money. So if saving money is paramount, get the gasser, or get a Prius and a tent. But if having the best driving and camping experience is the goal, you can’t beat a diesel pusher.
The diesel drives, rides and handles better, but it is also usually better even when parked. The diesel will normally have bigger water and waste tanks and more batteries so you can boondock longer. More storage. And the creature comforts such as heating, air conditioning, entertainment etc. are generally upgraded on the diesels as well.
So if you want the most in comfort and convenience, its the diesel. The gasser will get you there, but the diesel does it with more comfort, convenience, and style.

If you use the transmission properly, on any of the Ford gas chassis built built in the last 15 years, you can decend the biggest mountains in North America with both feet on the floor. As in cold brakes, and no drama at the bottom of the grade.

The new rig's rear wheels are 6 feet further back and the front wheels are 3 feet further forward. So, this a 9 foot difference in wheelbase on a rig which is only 6 feet longer.
