I had a Monacrapo DP had the ISB engine, was only a 32' and was lucky to get 8mpg.That diesel was $40k more than a comparable coach. Yes it did have good power but having more than you need is a waste. Maintenance is also another factor, the coolant was very specific to keep from doing damage to the engine. twice as may quarts of oil at a minimum. As said very loud when idling in the morning and I hated that if I knew we had to leave early in a morning. Repairs are limited to where you can get it worked on compared to the V10 which you could have serviced at any garage. I think they are grasping for business.
I would never buy another diesel just due to the cost over a gas coach.
