Motorhomes
We have a place in TV and are wanting to upgrade our motorhome to do some longer adventures. Any pros and cons in class A diesel pushers. We have a v10 Winnebago 36’ now but want to explore possible upgrades. Im familiar with the price differences. Looking for other pros and cons. Also anyone selling let us know!

Have a 2018 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 40X with only 7,543 miles. 380 Cummins Diesel. Has stack washer/dryer,dishwasher,Residential refrigerator,etc.
Kept in undercover storage and with A/C on since new. List new was $305,032. Asking $178,500. |
any longer and some campgrounds won’t have sites for you
there is some issue with diesel fuel availability as seasons change in different parts of the country availability of repair shops limited we had a 24’ gas motorhome and even then some of the better sites were a tight squeeze. |
Diesel fuel supply issues = Fake News
Two million semi's on USA roads..............not too many of them running out of fuel. Besides the 25,000 locomotives burning 6 gallons per mile. |
There are operating benefits to diesel as well.

CON. The price of diesel fuel has risen and repair costs are through the roof. |

From the Midwest.....................know all about diesel fuel. There are not availability issues for winter mix diesel. Many truckers, RV owners, tractor users just keep the additive available to mix if necessary. The additive can be purchases online or at truckstops. Again, Availability Issues = Fake News. |
Whatever you do, if you buy a diesel, which I am a big fan of, buy an older vehicle that pre-dates all the new vehicle emission requirements. I have a few friends that are going through horror stories with newer diesel engines. All of the new emission crap added to the engines cause constant and very expensive problems. Good luck : )

If you are buying new don't expect much of a discount as demand is outpacing supply. The last Class A I bought was at 70% of MSRP plus tax which is typical, I recently got a quote on a Class B that listed for $130,000 the discount was $1,500.00 on a cash deal with no trade. All the good ones are gone and they are making hay while the sun is shining. I've been buying new RV's since 1972 and have never seen anything like this before.

They are in a big diesel pusher fancy motorhome on vacation and they are going to stop to put in an additive ? Kinda like putting oil in the gasoline of 2 cycle engines in the good old days. LOL what were you doing hanging out at all those truck stops? |

The EPA has essentially declared war on the diesel engine and it is horrible. (Same for the gas engine too. I have bunch of Scott Kilmer links on that if anyone's interested. ) |
