We have had both and it boils down to road handling and upkeep/maintenance. Unless you can afford a decent diesel pusher I would not even both with a cheap gas rig. First their road manners are terrible especially in the wind. And upkeep and maintenance on a motor home is just as expensive as buying one. Seems like with gas rigs there is always something going wrong or breaking if you put any kind of miles on them. I know we complain about Keystone the problems we experience, but they are nothing compared to a MH. Now if you can afford a big diesel rig then you can afford the upkeep and they usually run down the road a lot further with no problems..... Although I do have to admit pulling in at night in the pouring rain and just pushing a button for the jacks and then another button for the genny and then going to bed was nice. Not to mention having the wife go back and make you a sandwich or put on a pot of coffee running down the road was sweet too....
