Ron, I just went through this exercise. Everybody told me to get a diesel,
and I agree they have more power. However, everyone I know, in the
area I live, spends a ton on diesel maintenance, and I wouldn't know
how to fix one. So, knowing I was going gas, I would have liked an
8.1 Chevy, for the Allison Trans, but I couldn't find one in a Motorhome I
liked. I ended up with a Ford V-10, and I'm OK with that, as they are
supposed to get 2 miles more per gallon. Do they, I don't know. Like
you, I'm after the comfort, I like having real food and cold beverages
and cold air conditioning. Nothing is cheap to tow with anymore,
so you might as well be comfortable.
