This is the ABSOLUTE LAST (if ever) consideration when looking to purchase an RV. The difference of an extra 1 or 4 MPG is not going to affect the overall cost of ownership by any significant amount.

We had a front eng. in the 70's and it was noisey.

Do you have more info on which year and model you're interested in? If it's an older rear engine rig you're looking for, why not just go with a DP? ~Rick 2005 Georgie Boy Cruise Master 3625 DS on a Workhorse W-22 Rick, Gail, 1 girl (26-Angel since 2008), 1 girl (21), 2 boys (22 & 19). 2001 Honda Odyssey, Demco Aluminator tow bar & tow plate, SMI Silent Partner brake controller.

Seams engine service may be easier and putting the heat behind you while driving would be a plus. If the engine revs loudly, at least you would be 30 feet away from the noise and a flat floor up front is a plus. 2019 Horizon 42Q Maxum Chassis w/tag Cummins L-9 450 HP / Allison 3000 2006 Jeep TJ and 2011 Chevy Traverse Tows Up&DownDeCoast • View posts Rockville, MD Full Member Joined: 11/24/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/05/22 11:22pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator These were built on the Workhorse UFO Chassis with a gas or diesel engine. There are not a lot of them around. Most were built with a Cummins diesel. Not a lot of gassers were ever made. Most probably due to the 2008 recession which ran many manufacturers out of business and shrunk the model line ups of the remaining builders of the time. Replacement parts for this chassis may be very hard to find. Not to mention finding someone experienced to make repairs. If your primary concern is the noise from the front mounted engine, there is no comparison between a 70's era front engine gasser and one built beyond 2000. They are much quieter the the older models. Yes, still louder than a pusher but my wife and I can talk at a normal voice level while cruising down the road.
