I rally with 2 FMCA chapters and 0ver 50 percent of the members in one chapter own diesel pushers ranging from Tiffin to Prevost with the majority being American Coach and Monaco. Whenever we rally I always get the third degree about "when are you going to upgrade to a DP? During the last rally after listening to all the pros of upgrading to a DP, I looked at one of the folks asking the all to familiar question and answered with another question which was "Have you paid off the 15K for your engine replacement on the way to Alaska last year?" End of discussion.

Only you can answer the question about should you have bought a diesel. It is after all only you that can adequately determine you RV camping style, miles driven per year, and financial situation. Until others can accurately describe your Rv'ing lifestyle, situation and conditions they are only providing their personal opinion.

Bottom line, find the fit that works for you and realize all motorhomes will have their quirks and issues. Once you have done that then you can truly enjoy the trip. Who knows, maybe the perfect fit is the coach parked in your driveway. I know at the present time I am preparing our fit for its next trip down the road in about 20 days, 22.5 hours.
