Doesn't seem like there is much North American history with this particular Ford engine and the annual servicing required.

I'm obviously not a Ford Transit owner, but recommend you check into warranty because the engine should fall under Ford powertrain warranty which is much longer than a year. I'm not suggesting diesel is a better choice; just that warranty coverage should be much longer than 12 months.
Another consideration to keep in mind is that the generator on these Transit-chassis diesel motorhomes runs on LP. I'm sure some owners like that, while others who run generator a lot may not like the inconvenience of refilling their propane tank more often.
