The newer v10 has a little more pulling power, plus easier to pay for maintenance or repairs. If you spend all your time driving up mountains, then diesel, but is it worth the higher price as well as higher fuel cost? I’ve had both but will stick with gas even though maneuvering into gas stations can be a pain at times.

We have a nice 41 ft bath and 1/2 Revolution LE For sale advertised in RV Trader. Kept undercover storage.

Clueless.


Owners/drivers of "big diesel fancy motorhomes" dump their own sh^t from their tanks.

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.

We have a 2018 Thor B+ with Ford 350 Diesel engine in that $130,000 range with about 6,500 miles on it and I would be excited to sell it for half that amount

Our Son just got back from a three week trip with the family Diesel RV and had no problems getting fuel. He put almost 5,000 miles on it and mostly west of The Mississippi. He said no problem in the Rockies. So many trucks on the road I can’t imagine any problem getting diesel fuel.

I'm not sure what most of these posts are based on, I do suspect not experience. I have had 45' diesel pusher motorhomes for over 30 years, the last 20 years have been Prevost. I average between 12 and 15,000 miles per year.
First, diesel is plentiful, no need for additives, if additives were needed trucking companies would be using them. In fact most engines discourage any additives.
Second, there are discount programs for diesel fuel. I routinely pay 35 to 1.30 less than street price for diesel, just like trucking companies.
Third. I have never had an issue getting into a campground. There are some state parks that are limited, but they are also limited in services, most have no electric, water or dump hookups on the sites, this causes me not to stay there anyway.
In alot of cases you are way ahead with a 20 year old Prevost than a new non Prevost. The pricing will also be less.
In February there is a Prevost Stuff show about 3 to 4 hours south of here, it is a good show ot go to to see what is available and learn.
What ever you do be sure to get it inspected by a qualified inspector as part of the purchase, it may save you a bunch of money.
Let me know if you would like any additional info. I will help you if I can.
Have a great day.

Thor builds thousands of units, Pleasure-way is a small family run business in Saskatchewan and there product is the very best, they hold their value and then some. You can still sell a 2005 unit for more than it cost new. It is very hard to find a dealer that has more than one or two in their inventory, most of them say in their advertising that they have them on order. By the way there is no such thing as a B+, there are A's, B's, and C's, what you have is a C as it was built on a cutaway chassis, a B is a modified camper van conversion that starts with a full cargo van. Several years ago the dealers came up with that B+ designation to justify asking a higher price than the class C's, just a sales gimmick to push small size class C's.

we had a 24’ gas motorhome and even then some of the better sites were a tight squeeze.

As far as class A motorhomes go if you can afford the price tag Tiffin is the way to go. Built in Alabama longest warranty in the industry.

Tiffin there is no other to compare to. Little pricy but better built better warranty better ride. Check out website. Call Tiffin ask for Bob Tiffin

May I ask what web site you used to sell your RVs?
